Elastoplast Expert+ Second Skin Protection Plasters, 6 Count

Absolutely Impressive! Elastoplast Expert+ Second Skin Protection – A Genuine Game Changer!I genuinely cannot recommend this product enough. My experience has been remarkable!On Saturday, I accidentally walked headfirst into a door, resulting in a deep cut to my nose. The injury was quite severe, and I was genuinely concerned that it might require further medical treatment or even surgery, potentially leaving me with a permanent and noticeable scar.I purchased Elastoplast Expert+ Second Skin Protection, and yesterday was my first application.What impressed me immediately was the product's strong adhesion and its innovative hydrocolloid technology. I could feel a slight tingling sensation around the exposed injury, accompanied by some minor irritation.The product is specifically designed to create a moist wound-healing environment. Its hydrocolloid particles absorb wound fluid and form what Elastoplast calls a 'Healing Capsule'. This helps protect the wound, supports natural skin regeneration and can promote faster healing while helping reduce the risk of scarring.The plaster also provides:- A protective barrier against dirt and bacteria.- 100% waterproof yet breathable protection.- Ultra-thin, flexible coverage that moves with your skin.- Extra-strong adhesion designed to provide protection for 72+ hours.- Moist wound-healing conditions that support the body's natural recovery process.Out of curiosity, I decided to remove the plaster today. I had been so eager to use it that I hadn't properly sized it to the injury. Instead, it covered practically my entire nose! Given how incredibly strong the adhesive was, I was reluctant to risk damaging the surrounding, uninjured skin when removing it.However, I was genuinely amazed by what I saw underneath. My nose looked considerably better. The deeper cut appeared to be closing and forming a scab, while the smaller areas of damaged skin and existing scabs appeared much improved, without the obvious surface defects I had feared.I appreciate that wound healing takes time, but the visible improvement after my first application has genuinely impressed me.I will continue to follow the product instructions, ensuring the dressing is appropriately sized and covers the wound with a sufficient margin.My recommendation: If you are looking for an advanced hydrocolloid dressing to protect minor cuts, scratches and grazes while supporting the natural healing process, I would certainly recommend considering Elastoplast Expert+ Second Skin Protection.For me, this has been an incredibly impressive first experience. A product that deserves recognition for its innovative approach to everyday wound care!My injury result, within less than a week!!!!Five stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I brought both the XL and smaller ones and they have solved a lengthy search for something that actually does what it says on the box.Waterproof and so easy to wear, no pulling on the compromised skin (usually compromised if using something like this), no irritation at or around application site, and actually, they look pretty darned ok once on.For reference, I have a healed ulcer scar , one on each shin front. One is from 2007, but still needs looking after, the other is from 2023 and really needs looking after. I am due on holiday soon, my first since forever, and having sought medical advice, was told to protect them from water when swimming, making the scar tissue too wet, therefore more able to be damaged when normal skin would be ok.I have tried so many products, expensive and less so, but none of them come within a whisker of being this brilliant. I initially brought one pack of each, and did a trial run, one of each being as one scar is huge, one fits (just) under the smaller dressing. Was so impressed I brought another 3 boxes of each!Saturday afternoon they both went on, Tuesday pm both off. No pulling, no tissue damage, in fact, both scars looked positively happy (trust me, I know when they are not). In the shower, I actually forgot they were on, soaping happily away. I did, on occasion, forget when drying my legs that they were on (the plasters, not my legs), and did towel dry with some vigour.And yet, still they stayed put. I did not feel any pulling of my skin when on, and bearing in mind I do wear loose top socks due to the scars and DM's because they really do keep foot swelling down, there was many opportunies for abrasion to rub that plaster/dressing off. Yet, still it stayed put.I have to say, I was then a tad worried they would not come off. So, Tuesday pm I sat and removed them, just in case they did cause damage, yet, oddly, off they came. Yes, I did remove slowly and carefully, who would not when uncovering an injured area, but honestly, I simply could not believe the adhesion of the product versus the ease of removal.Truly a gem because now I can finally get myself back into the swimming pool, having had to avoid it for such a long time. I am accident prone so need to take more care than your average Joe, but that is how I got both scars in the first place!Price does not reflect the brilliance. I am totally sold on this product and recommend it 100%. Absolutely the best, a real game changer for me!

Elastoplast Second Skin plasters are an incredible product for helping cuts, burns and other minor injuries heal. They create a protective layer that feels comfortable and stays securely in place, while supporting the healing process beautifully. The most amazing part is how they literally disappear once appliedit feels and looks like magic! They are discreet, practical and far less noticeable than ordinary plasters. I’ve been genuinely impressed by how well they protect sore skin without getting in the way. For quick, effective and almost invisible wound care, these plasters are absolutely brilliant and have become a must-have in my first-aid kit.

While expensive, these plasters are great if you have an injury but still need to have showers and/or do not have the opportunity to change your plaster frequently.However, while these are advertised for use on the hand and other areas, you must consider whether the area injured is on an area that will bend. I injured the base of my palm, just above the wrist and unfortunately because of the texture of the palm (glabrous/hairless), and likely the fact it was near a bend, the plaster did not stay on well at all and I was better off using a Mepore/Softpore plaster daily. If you injure a flat bit of skin however, these bind and remain on amazingly (this is further backed by the fact that the bit of plaster that was going over my wrist (on the glabrous section) did not want to come off for the life of it)

If you're like me and usually end up with a makeshift dressing made of cling film and electrical tape then grab a pack of these for the cupboard as they're great and look way better too.I hate plasters with a passion and try to avoid them as much as possible. Sometimes though you need something to keep the dirt out and the wound together.These plasters don't have the horrible absorbent bit that sticks to your cut, nor do they have that sweaty sticky stuff that peels and picks up dirt.They apply directly to your skin like a bit of clear(ish) sticky backed plastic.They feel soft and plyable and are comfortable to wear.After the initial apprehension of sticking these directly to the cut on my hand I'm impressed and confident they will do the job.

These are truly amazing. Managed to slice the end off my finger. When the blood finally stopped I slapped one of these on and then changed every 4 days or so. Miraculous recovery and a month later my finger is pretty much healed- just a bit shorter than it used to be! They also seemed to deaden the pain somewhat in the early days when it was stinging rather. Keeping the wound moist does seem to make all the difference and you could see the white blob sitting on top whilst the plaster worked its magic.Now have 4 boxes of them in the “medicine drawer”. Will never use normal plasters again.

Like a second skin healing at the same time absolutely wonderful. I wish I would’ve seen these before. Will definitely buy again and value for money. 👍

I could not be more impressed with this product and 100% will be buying again and again!Very comfortable, easy to use, great price, does exactly what it says!Context: I have cystic acne and a skin picking disorder, a terrible combination. Im used to having open wounds and scaring on my face and body. Ive tried many pimple patches, silicone tape, different healing & scar gels. If it exists to help acne or scaring, i have tried it ! And i have found products that help which ive been using.However, after a particularly bad flare up I was left with a large ugly patch where at least 2 layers of skin were gone. After trying all my go to remedies , I was really struggling with the healing.Bought these on a whim as i thought for the incredibly low price tag, at least its big enough to cover the patch and hopefully would give some protection .But wow wow wow, did I underestimate them. After ONLY 9 hours, my skin had FINALLY been able to heal over and start scabbing. I replaced the patch and wore it again overnight and I truly cant explain the transformation. Scab already gone, skin is basically completly healed! Am gonna continue to use them to see how it does for scarring specifically.Normally it would take me 2-6 weeks to heal something like this. With constant care every day.And these plasters fixed it in 2 nights!!!100% my new go to for any and all ance/scars/injury. Would highly reccomend to keep in a first aid kit, to use for acne and any and all wounds.

Great product

I was suffering with a finger that kept splitting from my constant hand washing. It would heal a bit and then dry and split. Tried a few things for a month and then used this. It's waterproof, keeps the site dry and sterile and you can use it over a few days and do a change. After 3 days, my finger finally started healing and stopped splitting. I'm so impressed.

Great product and as described

Keeps moisture out.

Excellent product does not come off when gets wet highly recommended very comfortable bandaids and feels nice on skin
