Elastoplast Second Skin Protection Faster Healing XL Dressings (3 Patches), Hydrocolloid Dressings with Advanced and Flexible Protection and Faster Wound Healing, Ultra-Thin and Waterproof

Brilliant product, I cut my hand quite badly and had to use steristrips, put a bit of gauze over the strips then the 2nd skin plaster over the top. It really is like a 2nd skin, once applied it is totally waterproof and you can get on with things like normal rather than worrying about dressings all the time. My hand took about 10 days to heal and I only had to change this twice. Bought a load more for the 1st aid box.

Honestly the best plasters I have ever used

I use these to cover my weekly HRT patches. The HRT patches are falling off after a couple of days.I cover with the second skin plaster and they last the whole week. Still really stuck on after the 7 days.They leave my dry skin after removal. So I always moisturise the area well afterwards.

Great size good quality

Decent enough plasters. Cant really tell if it heals any faster.Hence it makes it expensive for 3-pack.

These are great for everyday cuts and blisters, especially larger ones. They are expensive but can be worn for several days at a time, so you may only need one of these until your wound gets better. It helps that they're waterproof, making them easier to keep on for days. I'm allergic to latex so it's great that they're latex-free.

Second skin is really an appropriate name for these plasters. They're ultra-thin and (after cleaning the wound) you apply directly to the skin. Unlike my usual plasters, I liked that you only need one, which will last for a few days, and remains waterproof (and stretchy, so no water gets in around the edges).Don't worry that there's no raised "capsule" when you apply the plaster - this forms as your body starts to heal (I guess is a by-product of the healing process?).I can't conclusively say if it heals faster than regular plasters, and they are more expensive. But they do really act as a second protective skin, sealing the wound from outside dirt whilst the body heals. And the plasters are a lot tougher and longer-lasting.

These are a good size; each of the three dressings measures 6cm x 7cm. The adhesion is very good, and I found them comfortable to wear; I would describe them as feeling like a second skin.I found the image on the front of the box a little confusing; it led me to believe there was a healing capsule of some kind in the actual dressing, but this isn't the case. Your wound creates the capsule as it heals, and the process did work for my weeping blister. I would purchase these again to keep in our medical box for our next mishap, of which we have many in our house.
