What it is

A hydrocolloid patch with dissolving microcones that deliver soothing ingredients into the surface layer while the base absorbs fluid and protects against touching.

Who it's for

  • All skin types needing a targeted patch for early-stage or developing blemishes.
  • People who pick or touch spots and want a protective barrier.
  • Those seeking a thinner, makeup-friendly patch that stays put for hours.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Hydrocolloid matrix — absorbs exudate to flatten the appearance of spots and maintain a moist environment.
  • Microcone delivery — dissolving points to help actives reach the surface layer efficiently.
  • Soothing actives (e.g., niacinamide, panthenol) — calm the look of redness and support barrier comfort.

Free-from / texture

  • Drug-free, latex-free patch.
  • Thin, translucent patch with microcones that dissolve on skin contact.
  • Low-shine, makeup-friendly finish designed for day or night wear.

How to use & order

  • Start with clean, completely dry skin; avoid toners or creams on the spot before applying.
  • Peel a patch with clean hands or tweezers, place microcones directly over the blemish, and press for 10–20 seconds to secure.
  • Wear 6–8 hours or overnight; replace with a new patch if needed.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Apply actives (retinoids, AHA/BHA) first, let dry fully, then patch to preserve adhesion.
  • Avoid oily moisturizers or sunscreen under the patch; dab around it instead.
  • Do not use on open or bleeding skin; wait until the area is intact.

Evidence & notes

  • Hydrocolloid dressings are widely used to manage exudate and support a moist environment for superficial lesions.
  • Microcone patches can enhance topical delivery into the stratum corneum for targeted action.
  • Effectiveness depends on adhesion; ensure skin is dry and avoid occlusives underneath.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if redness, swelling, or irritation worsens.
  • Patch test if you are sensitive to adhesives or occlusive dressings.
  • Do not reuse patches; replace with a fresh one after removal.
  • If under dermatologic care for cystic or nodular acne, follow your clinician's guidance.

FAQ

Q. How long should I leave a Micropoint patch on?

A. Wear for 6–8 hours or overnight until the patch softens. Replace with a new patch if needed after removal.

Q. Can I use Micropoint patches with retinoids or acids?

A. Yes. Apply actives first on dry skin, let them fully absorb, then place the patch so adhesion isn’t compromised.

Q. Will it stick over moisturizer or sunscreen during the day?

A. For best grip, apply on clean, dry skin before moisturizer or SPF. Dab products around the patch rather than over it.
