36 transparent patches in 2 sizes (9 + 12 mm), 0.03 mm thick. The hydrocolloid creates a moist seal that absorbs the fluid from a whitehead in 6-8 hours. Salicylic 0.7% (lipid-soluble) exfoliates inside the pore. Tea Tree and Centella calm the surrounding skin. Day or night. Invisible under makeup.

Hydrocolloid dressings come from wound care. They create a moist, sealed environment over the pimple. Serous exudate and sebum are pulled into the gel layer, which turns visibly opaque (white) when full. The seal also keeps fingers and external bacteria out — no more nighttime picking.
BHA, fat-soluble — unlike glycolic. Diffuses past the sebum plug and exfoliates inside the pore wall, freeing the blocked content. 0.7% is the EU cosmetic limit for leave-on (the patch is rinsed off — minimal systemic exposure).
Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) terpinen-4-ol has documented anti-bacterial action against C. acnes in vitro at low concentrations. Centella asiatica (madecassoside, asiaticoside) is repeatedly studied for reducing erythema and supporting barrier recovery. Adjuvants, not magic — they help the redness around the pimple, the hydrocolloid does the absorbing.
A patch works on an inflamed pimple that has a visible white head. It can't reach a cystic pimple, a closed comedone, or one that hasn't formed yet. For chronic acne, the patches are damage control, not treatment — you want a routine with proper actives or a dermatologist.
