FAQs
How do these patches work?
The patches are made of hydrocolloid, a material that absorbs fluid and pus from the pimple, reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
How long should I leave a patch on?
Leave the patch on for 6-8 hours, or until it turns white, indicating that it has absorbed the fluid.
Can I wear these patches under makeup?
Yes, the patches are designed to be discreet and can be worn under makeup.
Are these patches suitable for all skin types?
Yes, they are suitable for most skin types. However, if you experience any irritation, discontinue use.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my skin before applying?
Yes, cleanse and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying the patch.
Can I reuse a patch?
No, patches are single-use. Dispose of them after use.
What is the shelf life of these patches?
Check the packaging for the expiration date. Store them in a cool, dry place.
What if I have sensitive skin?
While generally safe, if you have sensitive skin, test a patch on a small area first. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Troubleshooting
Patch doesn't seem to be sticking.
Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of any lotions or oils before application. Press firmly around the edges of the patch to secure it.
Patch isn't absorbing much fluid.
The pimple might not be ready. Ensure the blemish is near the surface. You may need to wait until the blemish is ready.
Irritation or redness around the patch area.
Remove the patch immediately. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. You may have a sensitivity to the hydrocolloid material.
