A thin, discreet hydrocolloid acne patch designed for both daytime and nighttime use, offering stronger adhesion and a more refined edge compared to standard round patches.
It helps protect pimples, absorb pus and oil, and flatten inflamed breakouts by creating a sealed, moist healing environment.
This “Intensive” version is enhanced with active acne-support ingredients (salicylic acid + tea tree oil) for additional blemish care beyond basic hydrocolloid function.
Key design difference: oval, tapered shape for better skin blending and facial contour fit.
Key Active Ingredients
- Hydrocolloid (Cellulose Gum-based dressing) – absorbs pus and excess sebum while maintaining a moist healing environment
- Salicylic Acid (0.02%) – helps exfoliate inside the pore and supports faster clearing of clogged sebum
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil (0.02%) – provides mild antimicrobial and soothing effects for redness-prone acne
- Polymer adhesive base (Polyisobutene, Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer, etc.) – ensures strong adhesion and flexible skin fit
Unlike classic COSRX patches, this version is not purely hydrocolloid—it includes mild acne-active ingredients.
How It Works (Simple Mechanism)
- Hydrocolloid: pulls out fluid (pus/oil)
- Salicylic acid: supports pore unclogging
- Tea tree oil: helps calm bacteria-related irritation
- Occlusive seal: prevents picking + external contamination
How to Use
- Cleanse and completely dry skin
- Choose a patch slightly larger than the pimple
- Apply directly onto acne (no skincare underneath)
- Leave for 6–12 hours or overnight
- Remove when patch turns white and replace if needed
Contraindications & Precautions
- External use only
- Do not use on deep cystic or infected wounds
- Do not apply under skincare products (serum, cream, oil)
- Do not reuse patches
- Stop if irritation occurs (due to actives like salicylic acid or tea tree)
- Less effective on dry, non-fluid acne (closed comedones)
Suitable For
- Inflamed pimples with visible pus
- Acne needing both protection + mild active treatment
- Daytime wear (more discreet than round patches)
- Users who want slightly stronger results than basic hydrocolloid patches
