Hydrocolloid is technically not a cosmetic ingredient. It is a type of material used to dress uninfected wounds. Hydrocolloid is coated with a mix of gelatin, pectin, xanthan gum, carrageenan, and other biopolymers.

Hydrocolloid patches made for treating pimples often have other ingredients, such as tea tree oil, salicylic acid, niacinamide, glycolic acid, and more. Unfortunately, unless a company discloses this information, we won't have a way to know what other ingredients are present.

When hydrocolloid is applied to a wound, the polysaccharides and polymers absorb water to form a gel. These moist conditions help promote wound healing without breaking down cell tissue.

A study from 2021 found Hydrocolloid may aid in scar healing.

(Using Since Apr 2022) Affordable, quick fix for sudden pimples (Although I can't speak for it treating chronic acne). I also think it serves at great prevention for picking/messing with acne. I find that after using this, my acne scars are not as apparent. I do find that it is a bit sticky when removing, so I recommend wetting/washing the face before removal.
