Pimple patches
Pimple patches are small stickers you place over a spot. Most are made of hydrocolloid, which absorbs fluid and sebum from the spot and shields it from dirt and your own fingers. That way you leave it alone and it can heal in peace. You may also know them as acne patches, spot patches or spot stickers. In this collection you’ll find every pimple patch at Boozyshop, from invisibly thin to microdart.
Pimple patches: spot stickers and acne patches for breakouts
Which pimple patch suits you?
- Spot with a whitehead: a classic hydrocolloid patch, such as the Mighty Patch The Original by Hero Cosmetics. This transparent patch absorbs sebum and impurities.
- Invisible during the day: the Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches by The Inkey List, with salicylic acid and succinic acid, or the Anti-Blemish Patches by CeraVe, with niacinamide and ceramides.
- Spot that’s still under the skin: the Zitless Microdart Pimple Patches by Acnemy. Each patch has 24 micro-needles with ingredients such as salicylic acid, niacinamide and retinol.
- Several spots or a fun design: the Mighty Patch Surface by Hero Cosmetics for cheeks, jawline or forehead, or the Spot Squad Pimple Patches by Essence with tea tree and salicylic acid.
How to use a pimple patch
Apply the patch to clean, dry skin, so before your serum and moisturiser. Leave it on for a few hours or overnight and replace it as soon as it turns white. Leave a microdart patch on for at least two hours. Don’t use patches on an open wound that is still bleeding.
More help with breakouts
A pimple patch treats one spot at a time. To keep your skin clearer more often, combine patches with a spot treatment, an anti-blemish serum or products with salicylic acid (BHA). Looking for Korean spot patches? You’ll find them in Korean pimple patches. Or head back to face care.
