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.

This product works exactly as described. It was easy to use, and I started seeing noticeable results pretty quickly. Only 15 days of use, the wart is gone!!. Very happy with the results and would definitely recommend it!

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.

So short version. These work.. I had to do some finagling to make them work for me, personally. So my for reference was on my dominant right hand on my pointer finger right in the crease of the knuckle. Great place. First I tried just putting the bandaid on by itself. Since it was on my hand anytime I did dishes or showered it seemed like it was coming off. My wart was 2 years old. I tried freezing it a couple times. I did not follow the 48 hour until day 4. I got some waterproof bandaids and a medical tape. I read some reviews and found that if you cut the square part off and just use the smaller medicated part and put a waterproof over the top you will be in much better shape. Since I workout I wanted to add a little more protection with the medical tape. My take away. It is very inconvenient for hands. It seems like the 48 hours does not make a difference but if you just stick it out, it really makes a big difference. I had mine on for a total of 7 days (even took it all off for a day cause the whiteness of my finger freaked me out a little). On the 7th day, I pulled the bandaid off and it seemed a little swollen. I started soaking it under warm water for reapplication and noticed I could rip the wart off like a blister. Not sure if it will come back but for now it is gone. The one of my toe was a lot smaller and a LOT easier to do. I decided to do it after my finger seemed like it was going to work. I put just the bandaid on this one with the medical tape and it worked in 5 days. Same thing just went to change it out, noticed I could peel the skin and the wrt came with it. My toe wart was not as dead and bled a little. Soooo much better than freezing. I will use this again if I get more warts. So worth the money and the try.

Works but does not adhere long. The wart pad helps but they need a better adhesive bandage.

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.

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
