Another option, particularly beneficial if you have a larger area or cluster of spots is Hero Mighty Patch Surface (£15) which cover 10X the area of a single pimple patch to not only treat the blemishes but prevent you touching or picking at the spots.

Basically, it's great for people who pick at their spots because it's going to stop you from doing exactly that!
