Can't decide if these are better or not than the classic version. These are thinner, the big size is also a big plus especially when 2-3 pimples decide to appear on top of each other. Most importantly the new version sticks much better/stronger to the skin and doesn't budge even after all the layers of skincare I use - the old ones sometimes can't handle that.
The only thing that I don't know is which one sucks the gunk better, that's why can't decide.
