Product Information
Full details
The COSRX Master Patch Basic is ideal for anyone looking to manage individual skin blemishes effectively and discreetly. By utilizing hydrocolloid technology, these patches accelerate the natural healing process of the skin while acting as a physical barrier against external irritants. While they excel at protecting and calming isolated imperfections, they are not intended to treat widespread acne or deep, cystic conditions across the entire face.

FAQs
Can I apply makeup over the patch?
Yes, the patch is ultra-thin, but you should avoid applying heavy layers of foundation directly over it as it may become more visible.
How long should I leave the patch on?
Leave it on for at least several hours or overnight, removing it once the patch has turned white from absorbing impurities.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
Hydrocolloid is generally gentle, but if you experience redness or irritation, discontinue use immediately.
Can I use these on blackheads?
These patches are most effective on whiteheads or blemishes with fluid; they are less effective on deep, closed blackheads.
How should I remove the patch?
Gently peel the edge of the patch upward until it lifts away from the skin.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not sticking properly
Ensure the skin is free of oil, moisturizer, or other skincare products before application.
Patch does not turn white
This may happen if the blemish does not have enough exudate to absorb; the patch is still providing a protective barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the COSRX Master Patch Basic, begin by cleansing your face thoroughly and ensuring the area around the blemish is completely dry. Peel one patch from the film and apply it directly over the center of the imperfection. Press the edges down lightly to secure the adhesive. Avoid applying toners, serums, or moisturizers underneath the patch, as these will prevent proper adhesion. Store the remaining patches in their original pouch in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive.
