Peace Out Acne Healing Dots are my secret weapon against acne. And they

Peace Out skincare is currently holding a Black Friday sale -- you can save 30% sitewide, plus get free shipping. That makes today the perfect time to try Peace Out's Acne Healing Dots, which are my skincare secret.

Find out why they're my favorite zit stickers ahead.

Take it from me: You don't want to miss this great deal on the Peace Out Acne Healing Dots below. They even make for a helpful stocking stuffer this holiday season.

Peace Out Acne Healing Dots don't work in just "six hours or less," as the packaging claims. But they do seem to help speed up healing when I use them. They also keep you from picking at your acne spots, which definitely aids in the pimple-healing process.

Of all the acne stickers I've tried, these are my favorite. These dots turn satisfyingly white over your zit, like they're actually pulling something out of it. (The hydrocolloid polymer technology promises to extract impurities.)

CBS Essentials editor Gabby Shacknai also likes Peace Out Acne Healing Dots, though she notes you need to be patient. "The pimple patches definitely reduce the lifetime of a pimple, but the six hours is slight BS," she says. "In my experience, it's been more like overnight."

You really can't go wrong with these.
