About 16 centuries ago, an unknown Indian author or authors gathered together the diverse threads of already ancient traditions and wove them into a verbal tapestry that today is still the central text for worshippers of the Hindu Devi, the Divine Mother. This spiritual classic, the Devimahatmya, addresses the perennial questions of the nature of the universe, humankind, and divinity. How are they related, how do we live in a world torn between good and evil, and how do we find lasting satisfaction and inner peace?

These questions and their answers form the substance of the Devimahatmya. Its narrative of a dispossessed king, a merchant betrayed by the family he loves, and a seer whose teaching leads beyond existential suffering sets the stage for a trilogy of myths concerning the all-powerful Divine Mother, Durga, and the fierce battles she wages against throngs of demonic foes. In these allegories, her adversaries represent our all-too-human impulses toward power, possessions, and pleasure. The battlefields symbolize the field of human consciousness on which our lives' dramas play out in joy and sorrow, in wisdom and folly.

The Devimahatmya speaks to us across the ages of the experiences and beliefs of our ancient ancestors. We sense their enchantment at nature's bounty and their terror before its destructive fury, their recognition of the good and evil in the human heart, and their understanding that everything in our experience is the expression of a greater reality, personified as the Divine Mother.

This is innovation
I occasionally get pimples that seem like asteroids hit my face and landed. I used to have those "cutting" patches to cover up for these large pimples but this product really saves the time wasted for cutting a size perfect for your asteroid. The biggest size was just enough to cover a large pimple I had recently (I would say the pimple was like 8~9mm measuring the longest size) and it did fine pulling out the sebum. Of course it wouldn't fit and stay on as a customized cut patch, but it definitely has the adhesion to do the job. The huge pimple was gone in around 2 days.

Love then... They work like a charm...
I have sensitive skin. These works like a charm. Definitely recommend for anyone whose skin is acne prone. I also uses these to help cover small deep cuts that liquid bandages are not able to quickly treat.

Best brand
Out of all the acne patches I’ve used, this is by far the best brand. I’m really acne prone &’ as soon as I turned 22 my skin just decided it’s time to break out again lol. I went through everything to dermatologist, new products, &’ even tried other acne patches that would essentially just turn my pimples into scars. I vouch for this brand of your acne and scar prone.

Get the job done & adhere well
I ordered these by mistake once when trying to order more of the normal sized and mini ones from this brand. I love their other patches and thought these would be great to have on hand too. Sometimes I feel like these don’t seem as effective as the typical 12mm patches from most brands regardless of the type of blemish I put it on. But I think they get the job done. They definitely stay on, but I prefer patches with the visible circle in the middle and transparent edges. These are nearly invisible and smooth though so easy to cover with makeup if needed.
