HOW DO I APPLY THEM? Quick to use and easy to apply, Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches should be used as the second step in the skincare routine, after cleansing with our ultimate skin-clearing cleanser, Salicylic Acid Cleanser. Gently tear sheet to lift individual Pimple Patch then apply directly onto cleansed, dry skin to cover breakout. Follow with skincare and/or makeup. To help keep in place, avoid applying multiple layers of skincare and/or makeup over the patch. Leave on for 4+ hours (or overnight) then remove and dispose. Re-apply a new Pimple Patch as needed. Can be used AM and PM. Store remaining patches in the pouch provided.

WHICH OTHER PRODUCTS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR A ROUTINE? After applying a patch, follow with Hyaluronic Acid Serum to keep breakout-prone skin hydrated. We also recommend using Salicylic Acid Cleanser, Niacinamide Serum and Omega Water Cream. If you would like more advice for breakout-prone skin, our askINKEY team are available to help you find the right routine for your skin and needs.

WHY ARE THERE TWO SIZES? We created two sizes, 12x 10mm and 10x 12mm, to cater to all your blemish needs. Choose the Pimple Patch that best fits your active breakout.

CAN I APPLY ONE STRAIGHT AFTER THE OTHER? Yes. We know sometimes breakouts can stick around so if you remove a patch but still feel you need another one, you can apply straight away.

WHAT TYPE OF BREAKOUTS CAN I USE THEM ON? Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches are best for breakouts with a head and visible gunk.

HOW TO BEST APPLY MAKEUP ON TOP? Once the Pimple Patch is set in place, follow with skincare and/or makeup. For makeup, use a sponge or soft brush to lightly apply over the patch and build coverage slowly. Avoid applying multiple layers of foundation/concealer over the patch to help keep it in place

WHEN TO USE THEM? Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches can be used AM/PM. For best results, use a Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patch if you have an active breakout with a head and visible gunk. To maximise your results, always apply to cleansed, dry skin, we recommend using Salicylic Acid Cleanser.

WHY AM I NOT SEEING RESULTS AFTER FIRST USE? Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches are clinically proven to visibly reduce breakouts in 4 hours. However, some breakouts can be persistent and may need additional breakout-busting action. If you remove one Pimple Patch after 4+ hours and still see visible gunk, apply another immediately after and follow the same usage instructions.

ARE THEY SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN? Yes, our Pimple Patches are clinically tested and approved as suitable for sensitive skin.

IS THE PATCH RECYCLABLE? The patch itself is not recyclable, this should be discarded in your waste bin. The outer carton and patches sheet are both recyclable. The pouch to store your patches can be recycled but please remove the plastic cover from the paper backing and recycle separately. Please check your local recycling guidelines.

WHAT IS THE PATCH MADE OF? Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches are made from a Hydrocolloid material which is a gunk-absorbing material that helps to visibly reduce breakouts. The additional active ingredients are blended into the Hydrocolloid material to help to gently exfoliate and reduce excess oil while supporting additional blemish-busting benefits.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM TIME I CAN KEEP THE PATCH ON? Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches can be worn for overnight (8-12 hours). For best results remove after maximum 12 hours and reapply a new patch if required.

CAN I USE THIS WITH SUCCINIC ACID TREATMENT / WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? We recommend using Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches for blemishes with a visible head and gunk to help extract gunk and flatten blemish appearance. Succinic Acid Treatment is best for surface level red bumps without a visible head to help reduce blemish size and the appearance of redness.

IS THIS PRODUCT VEGAN? Yes.

WHAT IS THE PH OF THIS PRODUCT? Hydrocolloid Invisible Pimple Patches are a waterless product and do not contain a PH.
