General Questions
Breakout Patches are stickers that treat pimples by drawing out gunk (like oil and pus), calming inflammation, and shielding the spot from bacteria and picking.
Our breakout patches create a moist healing environment that absorbs impurities and speeds up recovery.
It’s a sticky, gel-like flexible material that works by absorbing fluid from the pimple while keeping the skin around it moist and bacteria out. This is key for speeding up the pimple healing process.
Most patches need at least 6 hours. You’ll know it’s done when it turns white.
They’re supercharged with ingredients like salicylic acid and niacinamide to treat redness, inflammation, and post-acne marks.
We use premium ingredients, are rooted in British values, and made in Korea. Dermatologist tested, vegan, cruelty-free, effective and tailored for every stage of a breakout.
Fun, high-performance, great adhesion, and real results.
