Pairs well with: Calming serums, Centella-based treatments, lightweight moisturisers, tea tree toners, and non-irritating acne solutions. These help soothe the surrounding skin while the patch protects the blemish.
Compatible with: All active ingredients — including exfoliants, retinoids, and vitamin C — because the patch acts as a physical barrier only. It does not deliver active treatment, so it won’t chemically interact with other products in the routine.
Avoid using: None. There are no ingredient conflicts. The only limitation is practical — avoid applying thick occlusive creams before the patch, as they reduce adhesion and make the patch less effective.
Layering tip: Apply on clean, dry skin before all skincare. Place the patch on the blemish, then do the rest of the routine around it. Works well both in the daytime (to prevent picking and contamination) and overnight (to protect while sleeping).
Pro Tip: These patches offer physical protection, not active treatment. They help prevent touching, scratching, and environmental irritation — ideal for healing stages, after extracting a whitehead, or when the pimple is open or vulnerable. Perfect for pairing with actives in the rest of your routine for faster recovery.
