I don't regularly suffer from acne, luckily I never have, but I do experience an occasional breakout from time to time. It's irritating, annoying, painful and embarrassing to be dealing with at my age (which I will not be mentioning). Normally I use benzoyl peroxide treatments or the strongest rubbing alcohol that I can find. These both have the same result, the pimple dries up and leaves a patch of dark, dry skin where it used to be. Effective but still not a good look.
"Dream Dots acne gel treatment cover patches target pimples, spots and breakouts overnight using no harsh ingredients, yet give dramatically effective results."
"The acne care dressing swells and turns white overnight as it absorbs pus and oil, this visibly indicates that it is working. When removed a visible reduction in pain, redness and inflammation can be seen and felt."

I was selected to try Dream Dots, so I would like to see how their product claims add up:
"Dream Dots acne gel treatment cover patches target pimples, spots and breakouts overnight using no harsh ingredients, yet give dramatically effective results."
"Pain is reduced within the first 10 minutes as nerve endings are cushioned and protected in this moist condition."
"The acne care dressing swells and turns white overnight as it absorbs pus and oil, this visibly indicates that it is working. When removed a visible reduction in pain, redness and inflammation can be seen and felt."
The day after these arrived in the mail, Sonshine developed a big painful pimple. After I gave him a thirty minute lecture on the importance of washing his face, I remembered that I had Dream Dots to try. I cleaned the area as directed and applied a Dream Dot, which is like a tiny round bandage. Within 30 minutes he stopped complaining of pain in the area and forgot that he was actually wearing the patch. After wearing the patch overnight, he removed it and noticed that the pimple had actually come to a head and was less painful. We applied another patch and he wore it all day, then changed at night before going to bed. After wearing the patches for 3 days straight, the pimple faded to small, pink spot that was barely noticeable.
After seeing how well they worked on Sonshine's pimple, The Hubby decided to try the out as well, wearing the patches both day and overnight. The painful blemish that he was developing was gone within two days. He remarked at how the patches were so comfortable to wear that he forgot that he had one on and even went out in public with one on. Luckily the patches are a translucent skin color when you first apply them, so they are very inconspicuous. They later turn white after hours of wear.
I when I finally tried Dream Dots, I have to say that this product really lived up to all of it's claims. I woke up one morning with a big bump on my forehead, at first I thought it was just a hive or something, but then realized it was really a huge zit developing on my forehead. As the day went on it got more swollen and painful, so I applied a Dream Dot before bed. Within a few minutes the pain had decreased. When I woke up in the morning, the patch was white, and when I peeled it off the pimple had turned into a scab and peeled off with the patch. It was gone. Overnight! No after affects at all and I have incredibly sensitive skin. Needless to say we are all fans!
