I got this to compare to the CosRX patches. I was wondering what was different between the two patches and I found out that there's not much. I just prefer to use the CosRX ones more than these ones. These are more noticeable and they are bigger. Although they do have a texture (needles) on the patch, I don't think it makes much of a difference in performance. I find that it helps reduce the pimple, but I prefer the cosrx patches for their variable size and less noticeable patch.
