I have never hear of these. Things have obviously changed since I was having this issue with teenagers..

None that have truely worked for me!

So I’ve found that some brands really work on me. Skin control work best for me. I’ve stopped buying them though. Using plastic for a few hours and throwing it away didn’t sit well with me. I love Aesop Control Gel, that works way better for me and a tube lasts ages

I dont really have a big issue with pimples as im older but on occassion one will appear so I use the Mighty Patch. A pack of 24 lasts me forever.
I dont really know of any hacks but I do suggest making sure that teens with this issue change their towel, face washer and pillowcase at least afer every 3 days use

I’ve tried probably 3 different brands and found they didnt really do much or make a difference. If anything, it felt as though i was clogging my skin by covering it as it felt better just naturally letting it dry out.
