Starface Hydro-Star is a star-shaped hydrocolloid patch designed to absorb fluid from whiteheads and reduce redness overnight. The 100% hydrocolloid formula works without active ingredients, relying on occlusive absorption to flatten surfaced blemishes in 6 hours. The new formula is 2x stickier and 50% more absorbent than the previous version. Patches come in a refillable mirrored compact with 32 yellow stars — the distinctive shape serves as a picking barrier and makes application fun. Best for raised, fluid-filled pimples and whiteheads on the face; less effective on deep cystic acne, blackheads, or closed comedones. Works overnight or during the day. Vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
