KEY INGREDIENTS

HYDROCOLLOID

Hydrocolloid is a material originally developed for hospital wound care. When applied to skin, it creates a sealed environment that draws out excess oil and debris from inside pores.

It works by absorbing moisture along with what’s trapped in the pore, without damaging the surrounding skin. Unlike adhesive strips that pull and tear, hydrocolloid gently extracts impurities over time.

Our Korean-formulated patch adapts this medical-grade material for congested pores, bringing proven care into your daily skincare routine.

Hydrocolloid has been widely studied for its gentle action and compatibility with all skin types.

  1. Cleanse: Wash your nose and make sure the skin is completely dry.

  3. Apply: Place the patch over your nose and press gently to secure it.
  4. Remove: Leave on for 6 to 8 hours, then peel away slowly.

Recommended use: Apply one to two times a week, or as needed when pores feel congested.

FAQ

How does this differ from just leaving my breakout alone?

Left exposed, breakouts are vulnerable to bacteria from touching, pillowcases, and environmental irritants, which can prolong healing and increase scarring risk.

Hydrocolloid patches create a protective barrier that seals out external contamination while actively drawing out the fluid and bacteria inside the blemish. This dual action speeds healing significantly compared to leaving spots untreated.

Clinical studies show hydrocolloid dressings reduce healing time by maintaining optimal moisture levels and protecting the wound site.

What results can I expect and when?

You’ll notice the patch turns white or cloudy after several hours, showing it has absorbed fluid from the breakout. The spot will look visibly flatter and less inflamed when you remove the patch.

Most people see significant improvement within 1-2 applications per breakout. Deeper blemishes may require multiple patches over several nights.

For best results, apply the patch as soon as you notice a breakout forming. Early application can prevent the spot from reaching full size.

Will this irritate my skin or cause more breakouts?

Hydrocolloid is commonly used in medical settings on sensitive and damaged skin. The material contains no active ingredients, alcohol, fragrance, or harsh chemicals that typically cause irritation.

Since the patches are non-comedogenic, they will not clog surrounding pores or trigger new breakouts.

If you have very sensitive skin or concerns, test on a small area first. If any redness or discomfort occurs, discontinue use. Hydrocolloid is commonly used in medical settings on sensitive and damaged skin.

Can I wear these during the day or under makeup?

Surface patches are larger in size to cover acne clusters, which makes them more noticeable than smaller spot treatments.

They’re designed for overnight use when coverage and visibility aren’t concerns.

This allows the patch to work uninterrupted for the full 6-8 hours needed to absorb fluid and bacteria from multiple breakouts.

While the patches are thin and translucent, their size means they’re difficult to conceal under makeup or wear discreetly during the day.

Most people prefer to apply them before bed and remove them in the morning.

If you need daytime coverage for breakouts, our clearing spot patches are smaller and less visible, making them more suitable for wear under makeup or during daily activities.
