What it is

An oversized hydrocolloid patch shaped for the nose to absorb excess oil and debris while creating a moist environment that helps flatten and smooth the area.

Who it's for

• Blackhead-prone and oily nose areas needing a non-irritating alternative to peel-off strips.
• People who pick or squeeze pores and want a protective barrier.
• Those wanting a low-shine, makeup-friendly patch for day or overnight wear.

Key materials

• Hydrocolloid matrix — absorbs oil and exudate to visibly flatten and smooth.
• Thin, flexible edges — designed to seal over nose contours without lifting.
• Matte finish — low-shine look that layers under makeup if needed.

Free-from / texture

• Drug-free, latex-free hydrocolloid.
• Ultra-thin, translucent patch with softly beveled edges.
• Non-drying feel intended for extended wear.

How to use & order

• Start with clean, completely dry skin; avoid toners or creams on the nose before applying.
• Peel the patch with clean hands or tweezers, place from bridge to tip, and press firmly along edges.
• Wear 6–8 hours or overnight until the center turns white/opaque; replace with a fresh patch if needed.

Conflicts & layering tips

• Apply actives (retinoids, AHA/BHA) first, let dry fully, then patch to preserve adhesion.
• Avoid applying 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.
• Regular use can help reduce picking, which supports clearer-looking pores over time.
• 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 sensitive to adhesives or occlusive dressings.
• Do not reuse patches; replace with a clean one after removal.
• If under dermatologic care for cystic or nodular acne, follow your clinician's guidance.
