Keep reading for a deep dive into the science behind our new Dual Action Blemish Patches.
Cracking the Blemish Code: An Introduction to the Science
To unlock the potential of pimple patches, we first decipher the life cycle of a blemish. Each pimple undergoes a progression, from inflammation and pus formation to eventual rupture and scarring. The art of pimple patch technology lies in intervening at every stage of this process.
Our Solution: Dual Action Blemish Patches
Step 1: Help Me Patches
Our step 1 patches are meticulously crafted for red, inflamed blemishes. Their star ingredient, salicylic acid, penetrates pores to dissolve debris, unclog blockages, and combat breakouts at the source. Australian Tea Tree Oil, a potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent, joins the fray, eradicating bacteria while calming the skin. Canadian Willowherb contributes to this intricate blend with its ability to curb bacterial spread and soothe inflammation.
Step 2: Bye-Bye Patches
Bye-Bye Patches are an essential second step in your journey to clear skin. Designed to be used after Help Me Patches, they gently absorb the gunk (pus and other nasties) from your whiteheads, all while soothing the wound and incorporating aloe vera to rehydrate the affected area. This unique approach speeds up the healing process and leaves your skin smoother and clearer.
Our cutting-edge ingredient blend
Australian Tea Tree Oil: An essential oil derived from steaming the leaves of the Australian tea tree that has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) which penetrates and exfoliates the pores from within in order to refine pores and prevent future breakouts.
Phytosphingosine: A fatty compound naturally found in the skin barrier, it helps boost barrier function and hydration.
Grape Seed Extract: This antioxidant-rich extract helps protect the skin against sun damage to reduce redness and wrinkles.
Hydrocolloid: Designed to facilitate wound healing, the patch is made from waterproof hydrocolloid material which forms a protective seal over affected skin to aid healing. It also reduces inflammation by drawing out impurities and excess fluids – that's what pulls out the gunk safely!
Centella Asiatica Extract: Known widely by its roll-off-the-tongue name Cica, this calming botanical plays a crucial role in soothing the skin and healing blemishes.
Aloe Vera: Rich in polysaccharides, aloe promotes skin moisture and helps maintain skin homeostasis (read: a healthy and stable state). Its soothing effect helps it act as a balm for damaged skin, be it a burn or a wound.
Seamless Integration into Your Skincare Regimen
Our blemish patches transcend traditional blemish solutions by offering the perfect synergy of science and discretion. These patches effortlessly blend into any skin tone, effectively becoming invisible shields against blemishes.
