Editor Quote: "I really appreciate that these acne spots are available in three different sizes. With other spot treatments I've tried, the patches have either been too large for otherwise minimal blemishes or too small for cystic pimples. I also love that unlike other acne spots, these are translucent and designed to match the appearance of skin. The spots don't stick out like an eyesore on my skin, so I feel comfortable wearing them during Zoom calls or in-person meetings." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Shopping
