Each fast-acting patch is coated with a blend of soothing magnolia bark extract and microbiome-supporting SmartClear Complex to visibly shrink blemishes without disrupting your skin's natural balance. Rather than relying on harsh actives, these hydrocolloid patches work with your skin’s microbiome to target breakouts, visibly reducing redness and blemish size in 1 hour,** while helping prevent the look of post-blemish marks. With typical treatment patches, ingredients are dispersed and suspended inside the hydrocolloid gel, diluting contact with your skin. But our SmartClear Complex is brushed directly onto the patch's surface instead, so each patch acts as a true spot treatment, placing the active formula against your skin the moment you press it on. These ultra-thin, skin-like patches look nearly invisible, layering easily beneath skincare and makeup, without lifting or sliding. Apply one for 60 minutes when you need rapidly visible results or leave it on up to 8 hours while you sleep for a smaller, calmer-looking blemish by morning.
