Dealing with a deep, brewing pimple that you can feel but can't see can be frustrating. These patches offer a targeted solution for those early-stage, under-the-skin blemishes.

• What it is: An advanced blemish patch featuring tiny, dissolvable micro-darts. Each dart is packed with active ingredients designed to be delivered directly into an emerging spot.
• What it does: The micro-darts painlessly penetrate the top layer of skin and dissolve, releasing a calming blend of Salicylic Acid, Succinic Acid, and Heartleaf Extract. This helps to soothe inflammation, reduce redness, and flatten the blemish before it fully surfaces.
• Who it's for: This patch is specifically designed for early-stage, non-surfaced pimples (papules or "blind pimples"). It is not intended for pimples that have already formed a whitehead (pustules).

1. Cleanse & Dry: Wash your face and ensure the area around the blemish is completely dry.
2. Apply Patch: Peel the patch from its film and press it firmly onto the early-stage spot for 10-15 seconds. You may feel a slight prickling sensation.
3. Leave On: Allow the patch to work for at least 8 hours, or overnight, for the darts to fully dissolve and deliver the ingredients.

Note: Already own a hydrocolloid patch for surfaced pimples? Use this micro-dart patch for the deep, early ones and save the hydrocolloid for when a whitehead appears. Substitute, don’t stack.

This is an SOS treatment that can be integrated into any evening routine. For best results, apply it to clean, dry skin as the very first step.

• Minimalist Routine:
  1. Cleanse: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen. Pat the skin completely dry.
  2. [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply the patch directly onto the emerging blemish. Press gently.
  3. Hydrate: Carefully apply your toner, serum, and moisturiser around the patch, avoiding the patch itself to ensure it adheres well.

• Amount: Use one patch per blemish.
• Apply to: An early-stage, under-the-skin spot that is not open or weeping. The area must be clean and completely dry for proper adhesion.
• Method: After peeling the patch from the film (avoid touching the micro-darts), place it over the blemish and press down gently but firmly for 10-15 seconds. This ensures the darts penetrate the stratum corneum.
• Frequency: Use as needed when you feel a deep blemish forming. Replace with a new patch after 8-12 hours if needed.

When NOT to Use This Patch:

• On Open Pimples: Do not use on a blemish that has been picked or has a visible opening.
• On Whiteheads (Pustules): These patches are not designed to absorb pus. For surfaced pimples with a whitehead, a hydrocolloid patch (like the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch) is the correct choice.
• On Infected Cysts: For very large, painful, or potentially infected cystic acne, consult a clinician.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or significant irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

• Immediately: Upon application, you may feel a slight, painless prickling sensation for a few seconds as the micro-darts enter the skin. This is normal.
• Within 8-12 hours (e.g., overnight): The patch and its darts will have dissolved. The blemish should appear noticeably calmer, flatter, and less red. The deep, painful feeling is often significantly reduced.
• Within 1-2 days: Consistent use may help the blemish resolve completely without ever forming a head, or it may surface much smaller and heal faster than it normally would.

• Why this, not that DIY mistake: Don't try to squeeze or pop a deep, "blind" pimple. Squeezing a non-surfaced blemish pushes inflammation deeper, damages surrounding tissue, and almost always leads to a bigger, more painful spot and a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and scarring. These patches deliver calming ingredients directly to the source without causing trauma.

• Works With: This patch can be used with any standard skincare routine. It works well alongside routines that include other acne-fighting ingredients like niacinamide or gentle exfoliants.
• Use Carefully: Apply the patch to clean, dry skin *before* any other skincare products (toners, serums, creams). Applying products first will create a barrier and prevent the patch from adhering and the darts from penetrating effectively.
• Avoid On: Do not apply other spot treatments (like benzoyl peroxide or strong acid creams) directly under or over the patch, as this can cause irritation. Let the patch do its work on its own.

• Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent. Specifically designed for the types of deep, inflammatory blemishes common with this skin type.
• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides targeted treatment without adding greasiness to the rest of the face.
• Dry & Sensitive Skin: Generally good. The targeted delivery minimizes irritation to surrounding skin. However, as it contains acids, those with extreme sensitivity should monitor the area for redness after use.

• Early-stage inflammatory acne (papules)
• Under-the-skin blemishes ("blind pimples")
• Hormonal or stress-related deep breakouts
• Reducing the size, redness, and pain of emerging spots

Key Actives Explained:

• Salicylic Acid (BHA): An oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates into the pore lining to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells, helping to clear the blockage that causes a blemish. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Succinic Acid: Helps to control sebum production and exhibits antimicrobial properties, supporting a healthy skin microbiome and discouraging the overgrowth of acne-causing bacteria. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) Extract: A beloved K-beauty botanical known for its potent soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm redness and irritation around the blemish. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Sodium Hyaluronate: The primary material of the micro-darts. It's a form of Hyaluronic Acid that dissolves in the skin, delivering hydration and carrying the other active ingredients with it. (Ingredient Rationale)

• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

Who Should Use With Caution:

When to Stop: Discontinue use if you experience a rash, persistent burning, or swelling at the application site. Do not use on broken, infected, or weeping skin. This product is for external use only.

Patch Test Protocol: While difficult for a single-use patch, if you are concerned about sensitivity to the ingredients, you can purchase the product and press a patch onto a clean, discreet area (like behind the ear) for a few hours to check for a reaction before applying it to a blemish on your face.

• Texture: A small, thin, flexible hydrocolloid patch with a grid of solid, sharp-feeling (but painless) micro-darts in the center.
• Feel: Feels slightly prickly upon application for about 10-15 seconds as the darts enter the skin, after which it is unnoticeable. The patch adheres securely and is comfortable to wear overnight.
• pH: Not applicable, as the active ingredients are in a solid, dissolvable format.

• Issue: The patch isn't sticking well.
  Solution: Ensure the skin is completely clean and dry before application. Any moisture, oil, or product residue will prevent the adhesive from working properly. Apply the patch before any other skincare steps.
• Issue: I used it on a whitehead and nothing happened.
  Solution: This patch is not an absorptive hydrocolloid patch. Its purpose is to deliver actives *into* an early-stage blemish. For surfaced whiteheads, use a standard hydrocolloid patch like the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch to draw out the pus.
• Issue: The spot is still there after one use.
  Solution: For deeper or more stubborn blemishes, one application may not be enough. You can apply a new patch the following night. These patches are designed to reduce inflammation and speed up the healing cycle, not to make a blemish vanish instantly.

These patches are perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius. The sealed environment created by the patch protects the blemish from sweat, humidity, and external bacteria, allowing the ingredients to work without being diluted or wiped away. They are an excellent way to treat emerging spots that can be common in our climate, especially during the humid summer months.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. This product is sourced directly from authorised distributors in South Korea. The packaging features a mix of Korean and English text, along with batch codes and expiry dates. You can always reach out to us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 with a photo of your product if you have any questions about its authenticity.

Each pack contains 12 single-use patches. The cost-per-use is the total price divided by 12. Since this is an SOS treatment, the reorder cadence depends entirely on how frequently you experience early-stage blemishes. It's wise to keep a pack on hand for hormonal or stress-induced breakouts.

This micro-dart patch is an excellent choice if your primary concern is targeting deep, under-the-skin blemishes before they fully form. However, different spots require different solutions.

• For a pimple that has already surfaced with a whitehead: COSRX ACNE PIMPLE MASTER PATCH (24EA) — Choose this if you need to absorb pus and fluid from a mature pimple. These hydrocolloid patches protect the spot and speed up healing after it has come to a head.
• For a thinner, more invisible patch for daytime: COSRX CLEAR FIT MASTER PATCH (18EA) — Choose this if you need to cover a small, surfaced pimple discreetly under makeup. It's an ultra-thin hydrocolloid patch designed for daytime wear.

Mindful-use: If you already have a spot treatment you enjoy that addresses your concerns, there’s no need to add another right now—finish what you have first to avoid waste.

• Packaging: The patches come individually sealed on a plastic film within a resealable, sterile pouch to maintain hygiene and effectiveness. The outer packaging is a cardboard box.
• Sustainability: The box is recyclable. The pouch and plastic film should be disposed of in the trash.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the pouch is sealed after opening to protect the remaining patches.
• Travel: The flat, lightweight pouch is very travel-friendly for handling breakouts on the go.

1. Do the micro-darts hurt?

No, they do not hurt. You might feel a very slight prickling or tingling sensation for a few seconds upon application, which indicates the darts are penetrating the skin's surface. The feeling disappears quickly.

2. Can I use this on a whitehead or a pimple I've already popped?

No. These patches are for early-stage blemishes that have not come to a head. Using them on open or popped pimples is ineffective and not recommended. For those, you should use a standard hydrocolloid patch to absorb fluid and protect the wound.

3. How long should I leave the patch on?

For best results, leave the patch on for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight. This gives the micro-darts enough time to completely dissolve and release their active ingredients into the skin.

4. Can I wear makeup over the patch?

While the patch is quite thin and discreet, it is not as invisible as an ultra-thin daytime patch. It's best used overnight. Applying makeup over it may interfere with its function and make it more noticeable.

Best For: Individuals who frequently get deep, painful, under-the-skin pimples and want to treat them early to prevent them from becoming larger and more inflamed.
