Wondering about spot patches? Here's how they work, plus the best buys ✨ affiliate
Spot patches have been around for a fair while, but they’ve really surged in popularity in the last few years thanks to social media. In fact, they’ve probably now overtaken pore strips in popularity for tackling a mildly congested complexion – especially as experts agree the latter aren’t so great for your skin.

You simply apply it over the blemish in question to help it clear up more quickly, usually for a period of a few hours. If the spot is still inflamed after that time, depending on the instructions of your chosen patch, you can reapply a fresh one.
