I know everyone’s joking about r/popping but seriously some zits need to be lanced.
I buy these. I just cut them to whatever size or shape I need. A box lasts forever, and is so much cheaper than than the little acne stickers. They are also more substantial and stay in place longer.
You can get a box of ten 4" x 4" bandages for $12.30 on Amazon then just cut them to whatever size you need: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00U1H9M92/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Hydrocolloid bandages. You can get a box of ten 4x4 bandages. They absorb oil, pus, grease and other fluids and become a scab to the wound so it doesn't scab over and stop draining.

This is what I use when I have a bad cyst or pimple that needs a drain and heal. I just cut it down to the appropriate size and sterilize with witch hazel before putting it on.
I second this. Even the cheapest patches get really costly pretty fast if you're using them frequently. Cutting up larger bandages is definitely the way to go. I thought bandaid brand worked really well, but the adhesive was a bit too strong for my face. I always felt like it took off some skin (this was pre-tret). (They were perfect when I got a deep gash on my hand though. That thing stayed put through handwashing, showers, taking gloves on & off, etc., & completely sealed the wound.)
Duoderm is the classic medical brand for real (non-acne) wounds. I used to buy these on amazon & cut them up and they worked well. If you're going to use enough to make it through a whole box, these come out cheaper than the bandaid bandages even though they're on the high end for large medical grade hydrocolloids. There's 10 4x4 inch bandages per box for ~$20.
Dynadex is a good dupe for Duoderm. I switched to these b/c they're half the price and work just as well. ~$10 for ten 4x4 in. bandages.
I buy big, square, extra-thin Dynarex bandages from Amazon and just cut them as needed. 10-pack for $13. Not sure if they're available in Canada but if not, another brand most likely is. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00U1H9M92/
They should be in the bandage section, they might also be called blister bandages. The bandages got kinda pricey (like $4-5 per pack of 10-15 bandages, which I cut into smaller squares) so I just started buying the 10 ct hydrocolloid sheets off amazon (I got this one for $12, but there are a lot of options).
Thank you!

For those looking
I haven't seen much difference between brands.
I currently use these:
Dynarex Dynaderm Hydrocolloid Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch/10 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U1H9M92/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vKn.ybZE94J2R
They come in 4" x 4" patches, which I trim down to the size I need for a given trouble spot. They are much cheaper than buying the smaller patches marketed for pimples.
Is this the one you're looking at Duoderm Extra Thin Cgf Dressing 4 x 4 in./Box of 10? It looks like it's out of stock and this sometimes affects the price. Perhaps wait after the 29th and see if the price goes down? Another alternative from looking at Amazon are Pharmacoll 4"x4" (10 Pads) - Hydrocolloid Dressing - Comparable to Duoderm Primacol Restore Replicare *Tegasorb for $15.99 or Dynarex Dynaderm Hydrocolloid Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch/10 Count for $11.70 make sure the Dynarex that you buy says it's sold by Amazon, because the cheaper one isn't and if you have issues you won't be able to resolve as easily. Don't know how they'll compare but they're under $17.
