Are acne patches or blemish patches effective?

Now that the transitional season has arrived with cooler mornings and evenings, I wonder if my skin condition has worsened.

I started getting a few breakouts.

So I'm planning to buy patches for blemishes. Are they effective for soothing?

Or would it be better to apply an ointment or soothing cream and just leave it alone?

There are so many different types of adhesive acne and blemish patches available from various brands.

Since they are just similar, I'm not sure if I should buy just any one, but I'm curious.
