Pimple Patches: Conceal and Heal
by Lauren on Feb 07, 2023
Pimple patches are great! They cover pimples, prevent makeup or external dirt from interfering with healing and reduce redness. But, choosing the right patch for your pimple is how you make the most of using pimple patches.
How To Make The Most of Your Pimple Patch
As mentioned, depending on the stage of your breakout, a certain type of pimple patch may be necessary. Whilst some pimple patches are focused on providing a barrier to protect from external bacteria, others are focused on absorbing sebum and impurities.
The most important ingredient for pimple patches is the hydrocolloid dressing, the main component of every pimple patch featured. Hydrocolloids are moisture-retaining dressings which are able to absorb the liquid from acne, helping pimples to reduce in size, redness and heal faster. Other ingredients such as Centella Asiatica Extract offer anti-inflammatory effects to reduce swelling and eliminate pimples.
