Active IngredientsRetinol + hydrocolloid

A standard hydrocolloid acne patch infused with retinol, designed for overnight wear on whiteheads and surfaced blemishes. The retinol addition sets it apart from plain hydrocolloid patches, promising enhanced spot care. Comes in a 72-count box for extended use. The patch absorbs fluid from active pimples overnight and flattens them by morning. Best suited for raised, fluid-filled blemishes; less effective on deep cystic acne or blackheads. Rael positions this as a mid-market option versus premium brands like Starface and ZitSticka.
