Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

For smaller pimples, standard pimple patches usually do the trick for me. However, during my last prolonged hormonal acne outbreak under the chin, I needed something more potent. Containing 1% salicylic acid, they are notably more effective. The only downside is that these patches don't adhere as strongly as others, so it's best to apply them directly after cleansing, without any prior skincare application. They still earn 5 stars from me, as they are the most effective pimple patches I've used so far. You can store them as they are, or in the Starface refillable Big Blue or Big Yellow compact, which keeps them neatly packaged and ready for use.
