Miraculous acne patch

I believe everyone is familiar with acne stickers. They have been loved by everyone in recent years. In the past few years, many of us have had acne on our cheeks, mouth, and nose due to the problem of wearing masks. All told, acne is the most common skincare concern of all ages, affecting more than 50 million Americans. But do you know how the acne patch works and how to use it correctly, please follow me to uncover the mystery of the acne patch.


1. How does the acne patch work?

Acne patches usually do not contain any anti-acneingredients . They are made of hydrocolloid materials. They are very soft and sticky, and the color is close to the skin, which can play a good invisible role. It can provide a slightly acidic airtight space for acne, and it can also absorb excess liquid, such as oil and dirt in acne. After absorption, the acne patch will turn white. At this time, you need to remove it and treat it according to the Need to replace it with another one. It also protects the skin from absorbing bacteria from pus, oil, or dirt from your fingers, creating a sterile environment for your pimple and preventing scarring from speeding up the healing process. After the patch is removed, you may see a flattened, less inflamed pimple.

2. How to use the acne patch correctly?

Now that you know the benefits of acne patches, it's time to know how to use them properly. First, identify the pimple you want to cover, then choose a pimple patch that will completely cover it, big or small. Larger hydrocolloid patches may be ideal if the area you are treating has multiple blemishes.


Correct use steps:

①Clean the face

Excessive oil buildup on the face can also lead to breakouts, so it's important to cleanse your face well. Apply a dime-sized amount of cleanser to wet skin and massage it into your face to create a lather. Then, rinse your face thoroughly with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

② Disinfect acne

Next, use a saline cotton swab to gently cleanse the pimple and let the skin dry for a minute or two before proceeding to the next step.

③ Use an acne patch

Please wash your hands first, choose an acne patch of the appropriate size according to the size of the acne, carefully tear off the sticker on the acne, and stick it on the acne. Generally, the acne patch can be worn at night, and you can replace it during the day. After application, cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face as usual with your favorite products.


3. Are acne patches effective for all types of acne? 

Despite its benefits, it is not suitable for all acne types. They're most effective on: For example: when a pimple has just popped out as a small, pus-filled bump; a whitehead on the head that's just formed; Pimple patches may not be the best option for you with cystic acne and if you do experience these types of conditions it is best to make an appointment with a dermatologist who can suggest more effective alternatives and prescribe another appropriate treatment method. If you have more severe acne or cystic acne, it's best to see a skincare professional who can treat your face holistically and determine the underlying cause of your breakouts. While they may not be suitable for every skin condition, acne patches are worth considering.
