‘Miracle-working little stickers!’ rave acne sufferers loving Grace & Stella pimple patches
PIMPLE patches, zit-zappers, concealing covers: you'll find a lot of these skincare products on the market.
But it's Grace & Stella's Pimple Patches, loved by a variety of celebrities, to look out for.
Grace & Stella Invisible Pimple Patches, £9.95
Grace & Stella was first launched in 2016, and since then, its Pimple Patches have been endorsed by celebrities including Harry Styles, Jessica Alba and Kylie Jenner.
These zit-busting, translucent patches both conceal and combat breakouts of spots.
Directions for use are incredibly simple. You apply them to the spot, and leave them there for 4 to 8 hours.

During that time, they'll turn from clear to opaque.
They're infused with hydrocolloid to help flatten raised spots, reduce inflammation and draw out the impurities that cause those pesky blemishes.
These also contain acne-busting ingredients like tea-tree oil and salicylic acid.
These help unclog blocked pores and cleanse the skin - again, all in the service of helping your complexion.
Also, they protect that area of skin from wondering hands: perfect if you have a habit of picking or squeezing spots.
Despite their moisture-absorbing properties, are non-drying, meaning users don't have to battle with any side-effects of dry skins.
On top of that, they're unscented and free of nasty chemicals like sulphates, phthalates and parabens. Grace & Stella is also a vegan and cruelty-free brand.
Discretion is another key ingredient. Unlike those brightly-coloured zit stickers on the market, are clear, and will blend into your skin, barely visible.
This skincare essential has racked up a 4.3.-out-of-5 star rating on the .
Shoppers can't stop raving about the hero product, with one buyer saying they "worked like magic".
One happy customer gushed: "These are miracle working little stickers!
"You just stick one on your blemish and within hours it disappears. I could not believe how fast they work... Definitely buying again."
Another praised: "I’ve tried a tonne of hydrocolloid patches and these by far are the best out there.
"They stick right into the skin and are barely noticeable.
"I use them overnight and throughout the day and [they] completely [remove] any blemish."
A third added: "I've been getting some pimples around my chin and on my forehead.
"When I put one of these on overnight all the yucky stuff gets sucked up and I'm left with a minor pinky-red mark that goes away quickly. "
