FAQs
How many patches are in the pack?

Can I wear makeup over the patch?
While it is possible to apply makeup over the patch, it may affect its discreetness. It's best to apply makeup carefully around the edges.
How long should I leave a patch on?
Patches are typically designed for extended wear and should be replaced when they lose adhesion or become visibly dirty. Follow any specific instructions provided with the product.
Are these patches waterproof?
The patches provide a protective barrier that can withstand normal daily activities, including washing the face, but they are not designed for prolonged immersion in water.
What is the main benefit of using these patches?
The main benefit is creating a protective barrier that reduces the appearance of spots and cold sores while aiding in their quicker dissipation.
Can these patches be used on other types of blemishes?
While designed for cold sores, they can be used on other small skin blemishes to provide a protective covering and reduce their appearance.
Are the patches suitable for sensitive skin?
The patches are designed to be breathable. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it's recommended to perform a patch test or discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
Troubleshooting
Patch not adhering well
Ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free of oils or lotions before application. Press down firmly for a few seconds to ensure good contact.
Patch irritation or redness
Remove the patch immediately. Cleanse the area gently. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Patch becomes visible through makeup
While designed to be discreet, some makeup may alter the patch's appearance. Try applying makeup very gently around the edges or consider using a concealer specifically designed for blemishes.
