Simply, they are hydrocolloid (hydro-coal-oid) patches cut into shapes designed to cover a pimple and capture moisture from the impacted area to accelerate healing.
"A hydrocolloid dressing is an opaque or transparent dressing for wounds. A hydrocolloid dressing is biodegradable, breathable, and adheres to the skin, so no separate taping is needed."
This material started out as a way to encourage the healing process in wounds until it rose to popularity as a zit remedy. I've seen an advantage using these for pimples that are on the verge of popping and already popped blemishes.
I think of them as little saunas for your pimples.They use your bodies natural oils and heat to get all of the puss out of the top of an active pimple. Dermatologists recommend using the pimple patches on already expressed or popped pimples. However, I've had great luck in putting jDots on surface level acne that I want to run it's course faster. Bonus point, the jDot often takes the white head with it during removal and reduces healing time.
jDots are a chemical free acne remedy that can also be paired with your favorite cleanser or serum.
But, how effective are the jDots?
It really depends on what kind of acne you are looking to treat. They can be very effective on acne above the surface of your skin that has or is close to popping. They also provide another important benefit - keeping you from picking at breakouts!
For hormonal acne, I use these in coordination with a skincare routine. The jDot prevents further irritation and locks in my chosen treatment serum.
How to Use jDots
jDots are designed to spot treat a single pimple. There are 3 sizes available per sheet, choose the size that best fits the pimple being covered. jDots are great for sensitive and combination skin because they target the impacted area alone while leaving the remaining skin protected from irritation.
Apply the jDot to clean skin. You can even add a bit of your favorite acne serum, keep in mind that the sticker needs to stick so skin needs to be clean and dry.

Absolutely Amazing!
The Rose Mint Bar is easy on your lady parts no burning sensations. It leaves you smelling good, feeling fresh and moisturized. Be mindful that it is a totally natural soap, so you cannot leave it in the water. It will melt away and you will miss all the goodness it provides!
Early 2025 after my myomectomy, I was suffering from horrible hormonal chin acne and nothing that my dermatologist prescribed was working. So, I went looking for an organic optional for my highly sensitive skin and the tansy oil took away the acne in a week. I washed my face 2x daily with the honey bar soap and followed up with the tansy oil on my chin and it was like it was never there. Thank you Jasmine for this wonderful product.
This oil feels amazing on my skin and it smells fantastic. It leaves me moisturized yet not oily with my skin soft and glowing. Very happy with my purchase!
Absolutely love these! Such a relaxing experience and leaves body smooth and hydrated. Have not had to apply any kind of lotion after using. Just love this!!!
Beautifully packaged and absolutely adorable. Everything was well protected, and nothing arrived leaking or damaged. The Blue Tansy oil smells incredible and has already left my skin feeling soft and soothed. My skin can be unpredictable, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to use it on my face long-term due to having rosacea, but I’ll definitely continue using it on the rest of my body. I’m hoping it improves my face care routine, but even if it doesn’t, the quality is undeniable. I would happily purchase from this seller again.
Fast shipping, quality oil and smells lovely. I appreciate how it absorbs into my skin leaving me feeling moisturized but not oily. Had to order the larger bottle as this went way too fast!
