Product detailed description

Hydrocolloid absorbs, salicylic acid cleanses, tea tree protects. Three things at once, one patch.

• 🩹 Can't resist squeezing a pimple or leaving it alone?
  The hydrocolloid patch creates a closed, moist environment that naturally draws out the contents of the pimple without squeezing. In the morning you will see the white contents under the patch that would otherwise have stayed in the pore.
• 🧪 Is the pimple inflamed and painful?
  Salicylic acid as a BHA penetrates the pore, dissolves sebum plugs and speeds up healing. Tea Tree adds antimicrobial protection right on the spot.
• 🛡️ Want to prevent infection or squeezing?
  The patch physically covers the pimple and prevents contact with hands, bacteria from the pillow and further irritation. The moist environment under the patch speeds up healing without scarring.

Key active ingredients

🩹Hydrocolloid base

Cellulose Gum forms a hydrocolloid gel that absorbs fluid from the pimple and creates a moist environment. Moist healing is clinically proven to be faster and less prone to scarring than dry healing.

🧪Salicylic Acid (BHA)

Salicylic acid is lipophilic and penetrates through sebum directly into the pore. It dissolves sebum plugs, exfoliates inside the pore and speeds up healing. A BHA that goes where water-based ingredients cannot reach.

🌲Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Leaf Oil)

Natural antimicrobial effects right at the site of the pimple. Protects against overgrowth of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria in the closed environment under the patch.

How to use correctly

Application

Stick the patch directly onto the pimple on cleansed, dry skin. Ideally in the evening before bed.

How long to leave it on

At least 6 hours, ideally overnight. Remove the patch when it turns white, which means it has absorbed the contents of the pimple.

Tip: Dry the skin thoroughly before application, the patch sticks better to dry skin
Never: Do not squeeze the pimple before applying the patch, it worsens healing
