Ingredients Explained
We don't have a description for Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer. Polymers are compounds with high molecular weight. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is an emollient and texture enhancer.
In one study, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene showed better skin hydration levels than Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. As an emollient, it helps keep your skin soft and hydrated by trapping moisture in.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is often used as a mineral oil replacement.

This multitasking property makes it a great ingredient for cleaning out pores, controlling oil production, and reducing inflammation.
Unlike AHAs which are water soluble, Salicylic Acid is oil soluble. This means that it's able to exfoliate the inside of pores and reduce blackheads.
Concentrations of 0.5-2% are recognized by the U.S. FDA as an over-the-counter topical acne product.
It can cause irritation and/or dryness if one's skin already has a compromised moisture barrier, so it's best to focus on repairing that before introducing a Salicylic Acid into your routine.
In general, Salicylic Acid is a great ingredient for oily acne-prone skin.
While salicylic acid does not increase sun-sensitivity, we still recommend wearing SPF.

Some people complain that pimple patches only work on superficial acne like whiteheads with actual pus but this is not the case. I've been using this patches for a while and I can tell you that even deep cysts will heal twice as fast as with any other patches in the market. They contain Tea Tree and Centella Asiatica to soothe the skin around your pimple. Both of them combined with Salicylic Acid, will work wonders on almost any type of acne.
And the best part: They're the most thin patches I've ever found. Way thinner than COSRX or other famous brands, so they will be totally unnoticeable on your skin, at least for the first hours. It's true that after a while, specially if you put other products on top of them like a sunscreen that needs to be rubbed on your face the patch will peel off a little bit on the edges. But still, it won't fall off at all, it just will make it a little bit noticeable, but that's normal. Overall, great product.
