How do these patches work?
- These are small, adhesive patches that absorb pus and oil from acne blemishes.
- Provide a healing, moist environment.
- Protect the area from bacterial contamination by lowering the pH levels thereby creating an acidic environment.
- Deliver active ingredients such as salicylic acid or tea tree oil, both of which are very effective in acne treatment.
How to use?
- Cleanse your face and gently pat your face with a facial tissue / face towel.
- Apply the patch onto the zit.
- Leave it overnight.
- Remove the patch slowly and repeat the process if needed.
These patches claim that it could be used every day and that make up could cover up its appearance. Well, I don’t really agree with that, it shows up on your face pretty clearly that you have a sticker on. Hence, I would suggest using it overnight.
In-depth details on how they work?
The internal layer of the patch contains molecules of cardoxymethycellulose suspended in gelatin, which acts as a delivery system to carry the active ingredients to the acne/zit. This suspension is referred to as a hydrocolloid. This suspension then acts on the pus produced by the zit and absorbs it.
Acne Patch review:
COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch
This one is from a Korean brand “COSRX”. The packet contains 24 patches with 3 different sizes. These patches are packed into a sachet with a seal. The seal lock packaging makes it easier to use and store it. This also helps in avoiding any sort of bacterial contamination, moisture and dust.
- 9 large ones : 12mm
- 5 medium ones: 10mm
- 10 small ones: 7mm

The Health Look 
Hey there, thank you for the like first off. I do wanna point out about acne washes I’ve used. I found a stark contrast between Biore Acne Wash with Charcoal and Neutrogena All In One Acne Wash. I was extremely disappointed in Biore with their own charcoal take, it left my forehead very greasy, and my 2 pimples got worse. But when I went back to using my Neutrogena, it went right to work immediately drying up my t-zone, and shrinking my pimples after each wash.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve used Charcoal before, but it was more finer and sophisticated product that was a mix of Charcoal and black sugar. It clean and exfoliated my face very well, I discovered it at an AirBnB I was staying at.
Neutrogena does the job, and Charcoal only good if done right, Charcoal can’t just be penciled in with a standard acne formula like Biore attempted to do.

I really the idea of acne patches because not only it fastens the healing of acne but it also avoids exposure from the air which may worsen acne.

I never knew that there are these hydrocolloid patches for acne, what I only know about is the ointments and the pore refining toners for preventing acne. Thanks for sharing this valuable information and also for the thoughtful step-by-step guide for enlightening us on how to properly use these products.
