What is a blemish patch?

I say blemish because these wearable patches are good for more than just pimples, they're the superwoman of fighting pesky whiteheads too! Facetory’s got your back with patches to fit your day and night needs: all day everyday.

AM Patches: Super thin, comfortable all day long. 

Three Key Ingredients:

Hydrocolloid- A gel-forming agent that creates a moist environment to help absorb, extract, and protect pimples; biodegradable and breathable 

Tea Tree Leaf Oil- anti-inflammatory ingredient that reduces redness and inflammation

Centella Asiatica Extract- A light yet powerful ingredient that treats small wounds and calms the skin.

PM Patches: Thicker & optimal for extracting the “gunk”.

One MAJOR ingredient: 

Hydrocolloid- A gel-forming agent that creates a moist environment to help absorb, extract,      and protect pimples; biodegradable and breathable 

How to use:

After cleansing your face (I recommend nolaskinessentials Brighter Days Daily cleanser for a gentle, radiant glow) completely dry your skin and apply the patch. Continue your routine as normal. 

Do’s and Don’ts:

DO - deep cleanse, completely dry your skin before application, remove after 6-8 hours

DON'T - use dirty fingers to apply the patch or use it too early: the spot treatment works better when there is pus at the surface.

Benefits: 

Let’s face it as hard as we try, our faces are just so touchable! These patches will help prevent spreading bacteria, working as a barrier between you and your skin, thus preventing infection. The patch also reduces inflammation of the skin and allows the star ingredient, hydrocolloid, to absorb excess moisture/pus from pimples and whiteheads. Wearing these spot treatments in the morning and evening will quicken the wound healing process. This moisture barrier speeds up the recovery of your skin and prevents the formation of acne scars. These spot treatments are great for acne spots and whiteheads, if you struggle with acne prone skin try adding a toner to your routine:
