They don't work for me
I had high hopes for these patches, especially after reading all the positive reviews. However, they don't work for me. First, it's very difficult to apply the patch so that it's smooth and not all wrinkly. Then in the morning I'm just left with a sticky nose - no improvement in my pores at all. I have now used 4 patches, about a week apart and I followed the instructions very carefully.

Thank you for taking the time to share this and we are genuinely sorry to hear the patches have not been working the way you hoped.
We completely hear you on the application difficulty and we understand how frustrating it must feel when the patch does not lie as smoothly as expected. Starting from the centre of the nose and pressing outwards slowly and firmly for a few seconds tends to give the flattest and most even result, and making sure the skin is entirely free of any residual product beforehand makes a real difference to how well it conforms overnight.
As for the stickiness in the morning, this is actually a sign the patch has been absorbing throughout the night which is a good thing. That said we completely understand this is not the visible pore improvement you were looking for, and for skin where congestion sits a little deeper the patches work best when paired with a 2% Salicylic Acid Exfoliant used a few evenings per week. It works inside the pore to loosen and dissolve buildup and brings it much closer to the surface so the patch can absorb far more effectively overnight.
We will also be reaching out to you directly by email to see what we can do to improve your experience and make things right. Your feedback is genuinely appreciated, and we want to ensure you feel properly supported.
