We've all been there; we know how annoying it is when a blemish pops up unexpectedly. Keeping the best spot patches to hand is just one way to help to minimise pimples, and these popular ones – currently less than £5 – are definitely worth stocking up on.
As part of Amazon's epic Spring Deal Days running from 20-25 March, shoppers can get their hands on loads of top beauty products at reduced prices – including these Skinchoice Spot Patches. Usually costing £7.99 for 30 patches, they're now slashed down to £4.99 for a limited time only – that's less than 17p per sticker.

For even bigger savings, you can also by a pack of 75 for less too, down from £13.99 to £9.99.
Broadly speaking, pimple patches fall into two categories: ones with teeny tiny microdarts on them, which dissolve into the skin and release spot-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid, and hydrocolloid patches, made from a wound-healing material that helps to extract pus from the spot and speed up healing.
These Skinchoice patches fall into the latter category. They also help you to resist the urge to pick by covering the spot up, and they're transparent, so you can wear them during the day and no one will notice.
Once quite a niche beauty product, there are a lot of spot patches to choose from nowadays, including popular brands such as Starface and Dots for Spots. But the Skinchoice Spot Patches get our vote not only for their value but also the rave reviews they've collected from Amazon customers.
"I’ve tried several of these types of product and these have by far been the best we’ve used," wrote one happy customer.
Another review titled 'Miracle workers' reads: "They are absolutely amazing. I occasionally get a flare up if I change skincare products and it can take weeks to resolve. With these if I feel a spot on the rise, I pop one on before I go to bed and by the morning it has done wonders. Helps my skin get better so much faster."
"Best pimple patches I’ve used. Works best overnight. Love them!" a third person wrote.
This is one beauty buy we'll definitely be adding to our basket before the Amazon Spring Sale ends!
