Q: Can you use these for ingrown hairs?

submitted by anonymous - 1 month ago

  • A: Hello anonymous. Great question! While CeraVe Acne Control Patches are primarily designed to treat acne blemishes, some of their properties can be helpful for ingrown hairs, though they are not specifically marketed for that purpose. The patch acts as a physical barrier. This prevents you from picking or scratching at the ingrown hair, which significantly reduces the risk of scarring and further infection. We hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe!

submitted by xj94 - 6 months ago

  • A: Hello xj94. That is an excellent question! We appreciate your interest in CeraVe Acne Control Patches - 22ct.

Therefore, we cannot give you a 100% guarantee that trace levels are not present. Since individuals can exhibit a wide range of sensitivities, if you have any questions or concerns, you should discuss with your medical care provider. Thank you for taking the time to reach out.

Q: Can you use they patches on the skin on your upper lip? I have a pimple fairly close to my lip but on the skin above it. It says not to put these on your lips.

submitted by Melanie S - 8 months ago

  • A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our CeraVe Acne CWe understand you have a pimple close to your lip and want to ensure safe usage. Based on the product's guidelines, it is not recommended to use these patches on the skin directly above your upper lip. While the warning specifically mentions "DO NOT APPLY TO EYES, LIP, OR MOUTH," the close proximity of that area to your lip and mouth means there's a risk of accidental contact. The skin in that region can also be quite sensitive. For the safety and comfort of your skin, we advise against using the patch in that specific location.

    It does NOT leave any red marks. I've been using these for almost a year- no problems. Leave the patch on overnight for best results. Gave 4 stars because I think they're expensive for not many patches AND because the larger patches are best and I have to keep buying more because you only get the so many of the right size that I use, the company needs to sell boxes with just the larger size. These also are best for pimples with a white head or one that is forming.

    Reduces Redness

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application of the patches were easy and the size of it is great. Worked well to reduce redness. It should last you around 2 weeks if you have acne prone skin.

    Clears up blemishes

    The cerave products always mean quality. They clear up my blemishes as well as redness. I love that I’m able to sleep with them on as the adhesion is well made.

    Leaves Red Mark Where Resolved Blemish Was Located

    Product did a good job of flattening a random pimple on my forehead. However, 3+ weeks later, I still have a dark red mark where pimple was. I discontinue use of the patches and made a dermatologist appointment to see if photofacial/IPL might be able to resolve. Won't use this product again.

    Works like a charm!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works like a charm! I leave these on overnight and it has definitely reduced the swelling in pimple size. Doesn’t do much for redness, but the overall look is much less noticeable. You can see everything it pulls out when removed. I like the clear shear look but they are still quite noticeable.

    Little Patches, Big Results!

    It’s unfortunate and random when a blemish pops up, however these patches offer big results for such a little remedy! They come in two sizes, small and large, with a generous 22 in each box. They are easy to work with whether during application or removal, plus they have an ultra-thin, soft, tapered design and almost transparent look that allows you to wear them discreetly. I had an aggressive pimple appear on my chin; the perfect opportunity to apply one and let it stay on overnight. By the morning, I could see the collected gunk in the patch, knowing it worked to help extract the fluid! The pimple was noticeably flattened, smaller and well on its way to healing completely. The patch is comfortable to wear and stays put, too, whether when I am tossing and turning in bed, going about my day, or even when I sweat up a storm working out.

    You gotta try them!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great patches! These worked great on my occasional break outs. My teen even used them and she really liked them, which means they work on sensitive skin. My skin is not sensitive, as I’m able to use almost anything without a reaction.

    Obsessed

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love! Literally worked like magic, so comfortable and you can’t even see that you’re wearing a patch. These are by far my favorite pimple patches. The ingredients don’t live a weird residue and I feel as if they removed my pimples within 48 hours. The absorption is insane.

    Easy and Effective Blemish Patches

    The CeraVe Blemish Barrier Parches are super effective, gentle and give noticeable results fast. They’re thin, comfortable, and easy to apply and remove. They are a good size and have covered my blemishes with no problem. There is no scent. I love the skin supporting ingredients, which are not found in these types of patches from other brands. I usually wear them before I go to bed and remove them when I wake up in the morning. However, I’ve worn them during the day too. Within hours my blemishes look dramatically better, and many times they’ve completely disappeared. When I remove the patch, I can actually see what it pulled out from my blemish. Amazing! I’ve tried two other blemish patches from other brands, and the CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches are the best!

    Discreet and effective for breakouts

    I really like this blemish patches. They are durable and stay in place all night without lifting and they hold up well during the day too. The coverage is great, the shape fits different areas of the face nicely and they sit flat on the skin so they are discreet and easy to wear, even under makeup. I also love that they are completely scent free which makes them perfect for sensitive skin. They help protect breakouts and visibly reduce redness. My only small complaint is that I wish there were more patches in each pack, but overall they are quite good.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many brands of pimple patches but these are definitely my top 3. Perfect size , easy to wear . Super thin and actually cover and treat pimple . I can see this working for sensitive skin too. Texture is great, definitely softer and smoother than other brands.
