The SKINFOOD Cica Clear Spot Patch is designed for individuals looking for a discreet and effective way to manage blemishes and breakouts. Featuring an ultra-slim 0.15mm hydro-colloid material, these patches protect affected areas from external irritants while promoting faster recovery. While they are highly effective for spot-treating individual blemishes, users should note that they are intended for localized use and may not be suitable for treating widespread acne across the entire face.

FAQs
Can I wear makeup over the patch?
Yes, the ultra-slim design allows for makeup application over the patch. It is best to apply liquid foundation or concealer gently using a dabbing motion.
How long should I leave the patch on?
Leave it on for at least 6-8 hours, or until the patch turns white and appears saturated. You can leave it on overnight for maximum effect.
Is this product suitable for all skin types?
Yes, it is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to the soothing properties of CICA.
Should I apply the patch before or after my moisturizer?
Always apply the patch before your moisturizer. The patch needs a clean, dry surface to adhere correctly.
Can I reuse a patch?
No, each patch is designed for single-use only. Reusing a patch can introduce bacteria back into the blemish.
Does this work on cystic acne?
These patches are most effective on surface-level blemishes or popped spots. They are generally less effective on deep, cystic acne that has not reached the surface.
Troubleshooting
Patch is peeling off at the edges
Ensure the skin is completely dry and free of skincare products before application. Avoid touching the adhesive side with your fingers.
Patch turned white too quickly
The white color indicates the patch is absorbing fluid; this is normal performance for hydro-colloid material. If it becomes fully saturated, replace it with a fresh patch.
Patch is difficult to remove from the backing
Use tweezers or peel the backing plastic slightly to create a crease, making it easier to lift the edge of the patch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, simply peel a patch from the protective film using clean, dry hands. Place the patch directly over the center of the blemish and press down gently on the edges to ensure a secure seal. Do not apply creams, serums, or heavy moisturizers underneath the patch, as this will prevent the adhesive from sticking properly. Keep the remaining patches stored in their original resealable pouch to maintain sterility and prevent the adhesive from drying out. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
