Compound W Maximum Strength One Step Invisible Wart Remover Strips, 14 Count

Update: It worked! New photo is added of fully healed thumb. Again, no discomfort whatsoever. The area is still slightly discolored, but other than that I have a smooth wart free thumb for the first time in years!! Yay!!!! I have had a small wart on my dominant thumb for the past several years. Although it is small, it’s location has made things difficult (particularly writing, which is terrible for a college student) as it has always been very sensitive and occasionally painful. I’ve tried freezing it, soaking it, using oils, even tried to just cut it out (not my finest moment) but nothing worked. I ordered compound W clear strips same day delivery on August 17th. The first photo is August 18th. I forgot to take photos after that. To be honest I wasn’t convinced it was actually going to make it come off as the wart and the skin around it was tough and white after two days but nothing changed after that. Then last night, August 25th, the skin had literally just lifted off of my thumb and the wart with it. The area is slightly sensitive post removal but throughout the entire process there has been no pain or discomfort whatsoever. There is still a small ring on my thumb that was the base of the wart, along with what look like some patches in the center, so I will be covering the area with a regular bandaid today for protection and to let the good skin heal a little before I start using compound W to remove the rest tomorrow. I will say that unlike advertised, these strips are not waterproof. The surface getting wet is fine but if water reaches the adhesive it will come off. That wasn’t a big problem for me as I would typically take it off before I showered (if I didn’t I wore a glove) and I was careful when washing my hands. Also, let the strip tell you when it’s ready to come off, not the other way around. I tried to remove it prematurely one time and discovered that the adhesive and salicylic acid patch are pretty powerful and will not come off on any schedule other than their own. Once it is ready to come off though, replace it. Don’t wait until the 48 hours if it’s ready to come off before then. I only think one of mine made it that long, and for the rest I replaced them anywhere between 20 and 36 hours of use. Again, you’re on the strips schedule not the other way around. Overall I am HIGHLY satisfied with this product. It takes patience, mine came off in 8 days but for others it may take several weeks. But no matter the timeframe, this product does what it says it will do. I will be updating whenever the rest of the base skin has come off and then healed over, but as of right now, 5 stars and I would highly recommend to anyone with a stubborn wart!!

This product works almost too well, so keep in mind the size. It is very easy to use and goes on like a standard bandage, however, it will cause a lot of skin peeling. If you have a wart that is smaller than the circle, it will cause the skin around the wart to also peel. The strip is waterproof and I had no issue leaving on for 48 hours. It did not leave a sticky residue and my wart is mostly gone. With the peeling finished, I am ready to start the second round of treatment, but I am very happy with the results so far. I only used it for about 4 days and the only side effect I experienced was the peeling.

I bought these bandaid ones, by mistake. So I bought the "drop free fast acting gel" version the day the bandaids came. But I did get a head start on my wart by using these bandaids. These are a very good product and seem to work. The gel version came within 2 days so I didn't finish with the bandaids, but they were working. The purpose I wanted this wart remover is for a GW wart on my groin. (I know it's recommended to go to a professional, which I have many many many years ago, but they basically do the same thing these do... Trust me I know). So when these bandaids came, I opened on up and tried to scrape some of the medication off the bandaid and apply it directly to myself (shaft btw, just 1 the size half a #2 pencil eraser). The medication is not liquid. It's more like a sticky gooey sponge. So taking a small amount of was nearly impossible. However I did finally apply some. There is no pain at all, which surprised me. So I left that stuff stick to me for the whole day. I didn't wrap it or anything, just in there going about my day as normal and it hung on. The next day, I showered and applied it again from a new bandage. Fairly quick, like the 2nd day or so, I noticed the wart was turning black.. which is good. You want to kill it. By this time, the gel version came, and apply the gel was way easier for my case use. The bandaid would be good for any other wart in any other location, but I need the gel. It's all still the same medication ingredients. In total, the wart was gone within 4 or 5 days. It may have been sooner, had I started with the gel and had the full coverage I could get by taking apart the bandaid. After I was done with using any of the wart remover, what's left is a burn. Basically a rug burn. So I applied this stuff called "Aquaphor healing ointment Advanced Therapy". Doing my research (chatGPT), this Aquaphor is best because of the healing ingredients and stuff. The 2nd best is regular Vaseline. Which I had to look up because I forgot to bring the Aquaphor to work one day and had to go by Vaseline. Either or, you apply the ointment not too thick and not too thin. I would just keep applying every 4-8 hours or so. (Now remember, my case is different being in the location it was in, so I could really wrap it and stuff. Which I was okay with, because I wasn't doing anything to get it dirty. Plus it was just a minor rug burn. Very tiny area.

I bought these on 7-7. It’s 7-18 as I post this, and the wart is completely gone. Deducted one star for their suggestion you apply one bandage per 48 hours. If you do ANY normal daily activities, ie. bathing, washing dishes, or cooking, they won’t last. I found myself reapplying at least once a day. The adhesion is not as good as a regular bandaid. That being said, it was extremely easy to use, with minimal discomfort. There’s slight redness and mild irritation around the area, but that’s to be expected when using salicylic acid. All-in-all, I recommend these.

I would probably give this a 4.5 stars if I could. For me personally, these work better/faster than the gel. One thing: I find it difficult to get the active disc positioned EXACTLY in the right place using the bandage it comes in. Often the bandage slides around on my finger (I wash my hands a lot). I’d take it off a day or two (or three) later only to find it attached to healthy skin as opposed to the wart itself, which is both inefficient (especially since these things ain’t cheap) and potentially painful, if it’s eating away healthy skin. I find it much more effective to peel the disc off the bandage, place it directly and EXACTLY where I want it (first pic), and then use my own preferred bandage (second pic). Another advantage to this method is that as the wart gets smaller, I can cut the disc smaller (third pic) so only the actual wart itself has contact with the salicylic acid.

Did not find them to be effective. They are not waterproof and require frequent changing.

They work great especially when you buy the gel on top of it it got rid of the warts on my daughter's foot a couple weeks shorter than the time they say on here and they are gone for the last six seven months and they stay on a 10 year old's foot who plays soccer and his active she's happy I'm happy one little trick I did do is get the wart gel and place it inside the hole got that idea with moleskin from the Marine Corps for my blisters

Let’s start by saying that I have had warts on my feet and fingers throughout my whole life. I didnt have any on my fingers until 3 years ago (i used to shake a lot of people’s hands at my job). Additionally, I am an anxious biter and picker of my nails so therefore, when I got one on my finger, they spread to all other fingers over time. I have been using these on 4/8 fingers (each different sizes and depth). I havent been able to get my nails done due to it. The worst ones are on my pointers and pinkies. These are ones that are deep and a huge bump that was so embarassing to even point at something. It has texture and everything. I tried every solution I could have and every product (im on a budget so no doctors). This was the first thing I have used that has actually done something. The bandaids arent waterproof so that is extremely hard and sucks but are any bandaids ACTUALLY waterproof? A lot of people say 24 hours but I try to actively keep mine on for 48 then reapply. I’ve bought 3 packs and will buy more for the others and to make sure they are all gone to the core. I usually soak them in hot water or try to apply covers or normal bandaids while I shower (im weird and dont want to get additional chemicals on the wounds nor do I want to touch anything with it) then after, i dry it out a bit and take some nail clippers and slowly peel away. They are deep so just waiting for the bandaid to peel it off doesnt work for me. Also, they leave a stickiness from the bandaid on your nails and sometimes skin so be careful. I usually soak and rub it off. When I tell you, I havent seen my fingers by my cuticles so flat in years. It has removed a handful of it and is now down to the root, 2 weeks in. I must say, it was painful a little at first. More so of the feeling that it was sharp little pains since it is so deeply rooted (obviously it was working). They are thick bandaids so they can be hard to type on a keyboard. Make sure not to put these on open wounds. Only 2/4 there were some black specks coming out and turning darker. After checking it out and clipping some away (it was a part of the warts and was guessing it was dying or some dried blood from it uprooting) it was painless to cut away and a little satisfying and weird lol. I tried to use these on my feet but as a sweaty foot person (and summer at that) the bandaids slipped off so easily. I’m going to try again when the weather cools down and I start wearing socks over them (i have to wear heels and things for my job) Definitely recommend these to anyone who has tried everything but have had no results from anything else.

It worked with a bit of digging

Very good product. It’s working

I used only 2 strips, 1st one I remove within 24 hours and 2nd I used more than 30 hours recommend to use 48 hours per strips It's really worth to buy this product but I contains 14 strips to I keep remaining 12 strips with no use thats only I feel I am having if they sold 5 pcs with low cost will be more useful to all

It was effective, wart came off in about 2 weeks time. I used the entire pack.

didn’t work and this isn’t cheap
