At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with a sudden, frustrating pimple can make you want to pick at it, but that often leads to more inflammation and potential scarring. These spot patches offer a smarter, gentler way to manage breakouts.
- Who it's for: Anyone with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who experiences occasional whiteheads or pustules.
- What it does: This hydrocolloid patch acts like a sponge to absorb fluid and pus from a pimple. It creates a protected, moist environment to speed up healing, reduces inflammation, and physically stops you from picking at the spot.
- What to expect: A noticeable flattening of the pimple and reduction in redness overnight or within 8-12 hours.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Gently wash and, most importantly, completely dry your face.
- THIS PRODUCT: Select a patch that covers the blemish and apply it directly onto the clean, dry spot.
- Moisturiser/Sunscreen: Carefully apply your moisturiser (PM) or sunscreen (AM) around the patch.
Note: Already own a spot treatment? Use these patches as a protective cover over it once it has fully absorbed, or use them on their own to draw out impurities.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
The patches are thin and translucent, making them suitable for daytime use.
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser & Dry → 2) [THIS PRODUCT] on blemish → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+ (applied around the patch).
- Optional: If you use a toner or serum, apply it first, let it fully absorb, ensure the blemish area is dry, then apply the patch.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Overnight is the ideal time for the patch to work its magic, absorbing impurities while you sleep.
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser & Dry → 2) [THIS PRODUCT] on blemish → 3) Moisturiser (applied around the patch).
- Optional: Apply any toners or serums before the patch. Avoid applying thick creams or oils directly over the blemish before the patch, as this will prevent it from sticking properly.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
When to Apply: Use on a pimple that has come to a head (you can see a white or yellow spot). They are less effective on deep, under-the-skin cysts that have not surfaced.
- Amount: Use one patch per blemish. The pack contains two sizes (10mm and 12mm); choose one that completely covers the spot.
-
Method:
- Ensure the skin is completely clean and dry. Any moisture, oil, or cream on the spot will prevent the patch from adhering.
- Peel a patch from the film and press it gently over the pimple.
- Leave it on for several hours (ideally 8-12, or overnight).
- The patch is ready to be removed when it has turned white and opaque, which means it has absorbed the fluid from the pimple.
- Gently peel it off, cleanse the area, and follow with your routine.
- Frequency: You can replace the patch with a new one if the blemish is still draining, once or several times a day as needed.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: The blemish is protected from dirt, bacteria, and picking. Redness may be slightly concealed.
- Within 8-12 hours: The patch will turn white as it absorbs pus and fluid. Upon removal, the pimple should appear visibly flatter and less inflamed.
- Within 1-2 days: Most surface-level blemishes will be significantly reduced or completely healed, often without leaving a dark mark.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use a hydrocolloid patch, not toothpaste or picking?
Popping or picking pimples can push bacteria deeper into the skin, causing more inflammation, potential infection, and a higher risk of permanent scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Toothpaste is a common DIY myth; its ingredients can be extremely irritating and drying, often making the spot redder and more inflamed without actually healing it. A hydrocolloid patch provides a sterile, moist healing environment—a method borrowed from medical wound care—that is proven to speed up recovery gently and effectively.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Any gentle cleanser, hydrating toner, serum, and moisturiser. The patch isolates the blemish, so your regular routine can proceed on the rest of your face.
- Use Carefully: If applying over another spot treatment (like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide), ensure that treatment is 100% dry before placing the patch, or it won't stick.
- Avoid On Area: Do not apply the patch over thick, oily balms or facial oils, as they will prevent adhesion.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination / Acne-Prone: Excellent. Directly targets blemishes common to these skin types.
- Dry / Sensitive: Very suitable. Hydrocolloid is non-irritating and helps heal spots without causing further dryness.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Inflammatory Acne (Pustules & Whiteheads)

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Ingredient Explained:
- Hydrocolloid (Polyisobutene, Polyurethane-9, Polyisoprene, Cellulose Gum): This is not a single ingredient but a blend of moisture-absorbing polymers. Originally used in medical dressings for wound care, hydrocolloid works by drawing fluid (pus, sebum, water) out of a blemish. This process, known as osmosis, creates a moist, protected bubble that speeds up the skin's natural healing process, reduces inflammation, and prevents scab formation, which in turn minimizes scarring.
Full INCI: Polyisobutene, Polyurethane-9, Polyisoprene, Cellulose Gum.
Note: Some online sources list actives like Salicylic Acid or Tea Tree Oil for this specific patch, but the most reliable ingredient decoders show a simple, unmedicated hydrocolloid blend. This makes it exceptionally gentle and suitable for all skin types.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added fragrances or essential oils. It has no discernible scent.
- EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. The formulation is minimal and generally considered hypoallergenic.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
- Who should use: Ideal for individuals experiencing surface-level pimples with a visible head.
- Who should use with caution: Do not use on deep, cystic, or nodular acne, as the patch cannot draw fluid from that depth. Do not use on infected wounds or on any unusual skin lesion; consult a doctor if you are unsure.
- If irritation occurs: While extremely rare with hydrocolloid, if you experience redness, itching, or swelling after removal, discontinue use. The adhesive may cause mild, temporary redness upon removal, which is normal.
- Safety: For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not reuse a patch.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A very thin, flexible, and translucent film.
- Finish: Matte and slightly blurs the blemish, making it less noticeable. Adheres securely to the skin without feeling tight.
- Adhesion: Strong enough to stay on overnight or through a shower, provided the skin was clean and dry upon application.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: The patch isn't sticking well.
Solution: Your skin was likely not completely dry. Cleanse the area and wait a few minutes to ensure all moisture has evaporated before applying the patch. Avoid applying skincare on the spot itself before the patch. -
Issue: The patch didn't turn white or "work".
Solution: The pimple was likely not "ready" (no fluid to absorb) or it was a deeper, non-surface blemish like a nodule. Wait until a visible whitehead appears before applying a patch for best results. -
Issue: There is a sticky residue after removal.
Solution: This can happen if the patch is left on for a very long time. Gently roll the residue off with your fingertip or use your oil cleanser to dissolve it during your next face wash.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
In Mauritius's hot and humid climate, sweat and environmental bacteria can easily irritate breakouts. These patches are an excellent solution as they create a waterproof, breathable barrier that protects blemishes from sweat, dirt, and humidity, allowing them to heal in a clean environment. They are particularly useful for preventing makeup from clogging a pimple during the day.
Authenticity & How to Verify (our sourcing guarantee)
At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our SOME BY MI products are sourced directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. Verify your product by checking for the official packaging, batch codes, and any authenticity seals provided by the brand. If you have any doubts, please contact us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 with a photo of your product.
Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)
The effectiveness of this product is based on established principles of wound care.
- Ingredient Rationale: The use of hydrocolloid dressings for wound healing is a well-documented medical practice. Hydrocolloid creates a moist, occlusive environment that promotes faster cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, and prevents scab formation, thereby minimizing the risk of scarring. This patch applies that same principle to a small-scale wound: an acne blemish.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
Each pack contains 18 patches. The duration of one pack depends entirely on the frequency of your breakouts. For someone with 2-3 active blemishes a week, a pack could last approximately 6-9 weeks. We recommend having a pack on hand for acne emergencies, reordering when you are down to your last few patches.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
This patch is an excellent choice for healing visible whiteheads discreetly. If your needs are slightly different, consider these other options from our catalog:
- For More Absorbency (Nighttime): COSRX ACNE PIMPLE MASTER PATCH (24EA) — Choose this if you have larger pimples with more fluid. These patches are slightly thicker and more absorbent, making them ideal for overnight use to draw out a significant amount of gunk.
- For Early-Stage, Under-the-Skin Spots: Anua TRIPLE ACID SPOT CARE MICRODART PATCH 12EA — Choose this if you feel a pimple forming but it hasn't come to a head. These advanced patches use tiny, dissolvable micro-darts to deliver calming and exfoliating ingredients directly to the source before it becomes a full-blown whitehead.
- For a Thinner, More Invisible Option: SKIN1004 SPOT COVER PATCH 22EA — Choose this if your main priority is covering a blemish as invisibly as possible during the day. These are often ultra-thin with beveled edges to blend seamlessly into the skin.
Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable product at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on results.

Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle highlights the product's reliability.
"The Some By Mi one is OK, but it's not as effective as Innisfree [microneedle patches for me]. I find that microneedle patches work better for me." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025-01)
"These do wonders on pimples that are still under the skin. After using it twice during the night, the pimples completely disappear. Amazing!!" - Little Wonderland customer review (2023-08)
"It works!!! Ordinary pimples almost disappeared after one night with patches on. I can compare only with Cosrx patches, and I can say Some By Mi patches seems even more effective." - Picky customer review (2020-10)
Caveat: Some users note that the effectiveness depends on the type of pimple, working best on surface whiteheads rather than deep, cystic spots. A few have also mentioned the adhesive can be very sticky, occasionally leaving a slight residue.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
1. Can I wear makeup over the patch?
Yes, the patch has a matte, translucent finish that blends well into the skin. You can apply makeup carefully over it, but it may adhere better to the patch than to your skin, so blend gently around the edges.
2. Does it work on cystic or "blind" pimples?
Hydrocolloid patches work by absorbing fluid. A deep, under-the-skin cyst or nodule does not have pus near the surface for the patch to draw out. Therefore, these patches are not effective for that type of acne. You may want to consider a micro-dart patch for early-stage blind pimples.
3. When in my routine should I apply it?
Apply it as the very first step after cleansing, onto completely dry skin. All other skincare products (toner, serum, moisturiser) should be applied around the patch.
4. How do I know when to take it off?
You'll see the patch turn from clear to an opaque white color in the center. This indicates it has absorbed the maximum amount of fluid and is ready to be removed.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Individuals who get occasional whiteheads or pustules and want to heal them quickly and without scarring.
- Key Benefits: Visibly flattens pimples, absorbs pus and fluid, protects from bacteria and picking, and is discreet enough for daytime use.
- Keep in Mind: Not effective on deep, cystic acne or blackheads. The skin must be perfectly dry for proper adhesion.
