Infused with salicylic acid and tea tree extracts, these transparentacne patches can be applied directly to pimples to clear your skin while you sleep. 

What is acne? 

Acne is a skin condition caused by a build-up of oil (sebum) and bacteria. When the pores of the skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, painful red lumps can appear. It’s a problem that affects many people, but fortunately there are easy ways toclear acne and reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks. 

How to clear acne fast 

Spots have an annoying habit of popping up at exactly the worst time. Sometimes acne can be stress-related, which is why it can strike right before a big job interview or special event. 

If you need toclear acne fast, there are a few things you can do to reduce the redness and swelling. These include:

Apply ice 

Applying ice to a pimple can help to reduce swelling and redness. It will also numb the skin so your acne isn’t as painful. 

If you have an ice pack in your freezer, wrap it in a soft cloth (such as a clean tea towel) and apply to the affected area for around 5-10 minutes. Then take a 10 minute break before repeating the process. This should help to calm your skin and reduce inflammation.

Don’t touch your face 

Your fingers can spread oil and bacteria to your face. By attempting to squeeze a pimple, you could end up making the problem worse. This is where spot clear patches can come in handy because they create a barrier: preventing you from absentmindedly touching the blemish. 

Apply acne patch 

ASpot Clear Patch can be applied to the problem area, providing a targeted anti-acne treatment that works overnight, while you sleep. Thebest acne patches will reduce redness and swelling, while also helping your body to shed dead skin cells. 

For best results,acne patches should always be applied to freshly cleansed skin. Then it’s simply a matter of opening the sachet, peeling the spot patch from the backing, and applying directly to the pimple. 

Our patches can be worn overnight, so your skin can heal while you sleep. Because ouracne patches are translucent, you can also wear them during the day. 

But how do  acne patches work 

Acne patches work by adhering to the pimple and drawing out oil while infusing the skin with an intensive dose of acne-clearing ingredients. The technical term for these patches is a ‘hydrocolloid dressing’ – a type of wound dressing that adheres directly to the skin. These dressings are used in medicine to speed up the healing process and prevent bacteria from entering the wound. 

Do acne patches actually work? 

Yes, our  Spot Clear Patches do actually work! They treat inflammation and absorb excess fluid, while simultaneously blasting the pimple with acne-banishing ingredients. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of tea tree helps pimples to clear quickly, while salicylic acid works as an exfoliant to clear dead skin cells and lighten acne scarring. 

All you need to do is apply a patch as soon as you notice a pimple appearing, and let itclear acne fast while you relax. 

Are acne patches good for skin? 

Our  acne patches have many advantages over other types of spot treatments. The best advantage is that they don’t dry out the skin in the way that other treatments can, thus leaving you with a soft and smooth complexion. Plus, because the patch prevents you from directly touching the pimple, you can’t fiddle and make it worse. 

The witch hazel in ouracne patches also helps to tighten pores. Additionally, our patches work to enhance the overall health of your skin, giving you a healthier complexion overall.
