Dealing with a surprise pimple can be frustrating, especially when you want to stop yourself from picking at it. These ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches act as a protective barrier, discreetly covering blemishes while absorbing fluid to help them flatten faster.

• Best for: Covering surface-level pimples with a 'head' (pustules).
• What it does: Protects blemishes from bacteria and dirt, absorbs pus and oil, and creates a moist healing environment.
• Texture: An extremely thin, flexible, matte film that blends into the skin.
• Key Feature: Its ultra-thin design makes it nearly invisible, ideal for daytime use, even under light makeup.

1. Cleanse & Dry: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Ensure the blemish and surrounding area are completely dry.
2. Apply Patch: Peel a patch from the film and press it firmly over the pimple.
3. Continue Routine: Apply your regular toner, serum, and moisturiser, carefully avoiding the patch.

Mindful Tip: Already have a spot treatment you're using? Use this patch over it (once the treatment is dry) to prevent it from rubbing off and to add a protective layer.

When to Apply: On a clean, dry blemish. Best applied after cleansing and before any toner or moisturiser.

• Amount: One patch per blemish. Choose a size that completely covers the spot.
• Method:
  1. Ensure the blemish area is clean and totally dry. Do not apply any skincare on the spot before the patch.
  2. Peel one patch off the backing film.
  3. Center it over the pimple and press down gently for 2-3 seconds to ensure it adheres well.
  4. Leave on for 6-8 hours, or until the patch turns opaque white from absorbing fluid.
  5. To remove, gently peel from the edge. Cleanse the area and apply a new patch if needed.
• Frequency: Use as needed on individual blemishes. You can replace the patch every 6-12 hours.

Watchouts:

• Patch not sticking? Your skin was likely not completely dry, or skincare was applied underneath. Clean and dry the area again before reapplying.
• Patch not working? The blemish might be too deep (cystic) or not yet "ready" (no head). Hydrocolloid works best on surface pimples where it can draw out fluid.

Safety: For external use only. Do not use on deep, infected, or weeping wounds. If a rash or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Store in a cool, dry place.

• Immediately: The blemish is covered and protected from bacteria and picking. The patch provides immediate camouflage, reducing the spot's visible redness.
• After 4-8 Hours (or overnight): The patch will turn white and opaque as it absorbs pus and oil from the pimple. The blemish should appear noticeably flatter and less inflamed after removal.
• After 1-2 Days: With continued use, the spot should be significantly reduced in size or completely flattened, helping to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) by promoting faster, undisturbed healing.

Why use a pimple patch, not just pop the pimple?

Popping pimples can force bacteria deeper into the pore, leading to more inflammation, a bigger blemish, and a high risk of permanent scarring or dark spots (PIH). A hydrocolloid patch offers a safer alternative. It gently draws out the fluid without breaking the skin, creating a sterile, moist environment that is ideal for healing. This helps the blemish flatten and heal faster with a much lower risk of scarring.

• Works Well With: Most gentle skincare. You can apply your hydrating toners, serums, and moisturisers on the rest of your face, carefully avoiding the patch itself.
• Use Carefully: Do not apply strong actives like retinoids, BHA, or AHA directly under the patch. This can trap the active and cause significant irritation. Apply your actives to the rest of the face, or use them on alternate nights.
• Makeup: The ultra-thin design allows for light makeup application over the patch for better concealment during the day. Pat foundation gently over the patch with a sponge or finger.

• Acne-Prone: Excellent. A must-have tool for managing breakouts and preventing scarring.
• Oily & Combination: Very suitable. Helps absorb excess sebum from a blemish and protects it from surface oil.
• Dry & Sensitive: Suitable. The patch is non-drying and protects sensitive, broken skin. However, those with a known allergy to adhesives should patch test on their arm first.

• MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) Class: In South Korea, hydrocolloid patches are often classified as Quasi-Drugs (의약외품) for wound protection. For cosmetic retail purposes, it is sold as a blemish cover.
• Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic dressing and not a medical treatment for acne. It helps protect the blemish and absorb fluid. For severe or cystic acne, please consult a dermatologist.

Key Active Explained:

• Hydrocolloid: This is a type of dressing made of moisture-absorbing materials (like carboxymethylcellulose). When placed over a blemish, it draws out fluid (pus and oil) while maintaining a moist, sealed environment. This process, known as moist wound healing, helps speed up recovery, reduce inflammation, and minimize the risk of scarring.

Full INCI List: Hydrocolloid Sheet

• Fragrance: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Intensity: 0/5. It is odorless.
• Allergens: The primary material is hydrocolloid. While rare, some individuals may have a sensitivity to the adhesive used in patches. If you have a known allergy to plasters or bandages, perform a patch test on your arm before using on your face.

• Texture: A very thin, flexible, slightly matte film.
• Finish: Translucent and matte, designed to blend seamlessly with the skin.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not applicable.

• Issue: The patch isn't sticking well or peels at the edges.
  • Solution: The skin was likely not completely clean and dry before application. Make sure to cleanse the area and wait for it to dry fully. Avoid applying any skincare products on the spot before the patch.
• Issue: The patch isn't turning white or absorbing anything.
  • Solution: The blemish may not be a surface-level pimple with fluid (like a whitehead or pustule). Hydrocolloid patches cannot draw fluid from deep, closed pimples (cysts) that have not come to a head. Wait for the blemish to develop a head before applying a patch.

These patches are excellent for the Mauritian climate. In hot and humid weather, an open blemish is more exposed to sweat, bacteria, and pollution, which can worsen inflammation. This patch creates a clean, sealed barrier against these environmental triggers.

• Humid Summers: Highly recommended to protect blemishes from sweat and prevent them from getting more inflamed. The ultra-thin design feels lightweight and breathable.
• Drier Winters: Helps keep a healing blemish hydrated and prevents it from drying out and forming a scab, which can lead to scarring.

As an official retailer, Adilsons sources products directly from authorized distributors in South Korea. Every item is guaranteed 100% authentic. The packaging features a mix of Korean and English text, along with batch codes and manufacturing dates.

The effectiveness of these patches is based on the well-established principle of moist wound healing.

• Ingredient Rationale: Hydrocolloid dressings have been used in medical settings for decades to promote wound healing. They create an occlusive, moist environment that prevents scab formation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the natural healing process while protecting the area from external contaminants. This same principle applies to managing small blemishes like pimples.

With 75 patches in two sizes per pack, this is an excellent value option for anyone who experiences regular breakouts.

• Total Patches: 75 (45x 10mm, 30x 12mm).
• Estimated Duration: If you use an average of 3-4 patches per week, one pack can last for approximately 4-5 months, making it very cost-effective.
• Reorder Cadence: Consider reordering every 4-6 months, depending on your frequency of use.

This patch is an excellent choice if your primary goal is a discreet, ultra-thin patch for daytime use on surface-level whiteheads. Here are other options from our catalog if you have different needs:

• For More Intensive Overnight Healing: COSRX ACNE PIMPLE MASTER PATCH (24EA) — Choose this if you want a thicker, more powerful patch for overnight use. It's the original cult classic, known for its strong absorption of pus and oil from more stubborn pimples.
• For an Even More Invisible Daytime Option: COSRX CLEAR FIT MASTER PATCH (18EA) — Choose this if your top priority is a patch that is virtually undetectable under makeup. It's similar to the Anua patch but comes from another trusted brand.
• For Early-Stage, Under-the-Skin Spots: Anua TRIPLE ACID SPOT CARE MICRODART PATCH 12EA — Choose this if you have a painful blemish that hasn't come to a head yet. These patches use tiny micro-darts to deliver calming and exfoliating ingredients (like Salicylic Acid) deeper into the skin to tackle the spot before it fully surfaces.

Mindful Use: If you already have a pimple patch at home that you are happy with, we encourage you to finish it first before purchasing a new one. This helps reduce waste and allows you to fairly assess what works best for your skin.

• Packaging: The patches come on sterilized plastic sheets inside a resealable pouch to maintain hygiene and prevent them from drying out.
• Sustainability: The outer pouch is plastic. Please dispose of used patches and packaging in the trash. Do not flush.
• Storage: Keep the pouch sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the adhesive and sterility of the patches.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities. Individual results may vary.

• On Discretion & Adhesion: "These are my favorite for daytime. They're so thin you can barely see them, and they stick really well, even through a bit of sweat. Makeup goes over them smoothly." (Paraphrased from a YesStyle review, 2024-05).
• On Effectiveness: "They do a great job of pulling out the gunk from a whitehead overnight. I wake up and the spot is totally flat. The pack of 75 is also great value for money." (Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2025-01).
• A Fair Caveat: "They work well on surface pimples, but for deeper, more painful spots, they don't do much. Also, the edges can start to lift after a few hours if my skin gets particularly oily." (Paraphrased from an Amazon customer review, 2024-08).

Hydrocolloid

A moisture-absorbing material that forms a gel when it comes into contact with fluid. In pimple patches, it draws out pus and oil, creating a moist healing environment.

Pustule

A type of pimple that contains yellowish pus, commonly known as a whitehead. These are the ideal type of blemishes for hydrocolloid patches.

PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

The dark spots or marks left on the skin after a pimple or other inflammation has healed. Using patches can help reduce PIH by preventing picking and promoting faster healing.

Can I use this on a pimple that I've already popped?

Yes, after gently cleaning the area. A hydrocolloid patch is excellent for protecting a popped pimple, keeping it clean, and absorbing any remaining fluid to help it heal faster and reduce scarring.

Will this work on blackheads?

No. Hydrocolloid patches work by absorbing fluid (pus, oil). Blackheads are clogged pores that are open to the air and have hardened; they do not contain fluid for the patch to draw out. For blackheads, consider using a BHA (Salicylic Acid) exfoliant.

Can I cut the patches to fit a smaller spot?

It is not recommended. The patches are sterilized and sealed. Cutting them could compromise their sterility and the integrity of the adhesive edge, making them less effective.

Are these patches waterproof?

They are water-resistant and can withstand light splashing or sweat, but they may come loose during heavy exercise, swimming, or prolonged showering.
