ThicknessStandard

A translucent, thin hydrocolloid patch in three sizes designed to absorb fluid from whiteheads overnight. COSRX's Original formula offers clean occlusive sealing without active ingredients—just medical-grade hydrocolloid that flattens surfaced blemishes and prevents picking. The 120-count bulk pack delivers strong cost-per-patch value. Best for raised, fluid-filled spots on the face; less effective on deep cystic acne or closed comedones. Stays put 6–8 hours and leaves minimal residue.
