What Are Silky Clear Patches?
Silky Clear Patches are ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches designed to help protect blemishes while creating the environment for clearer-looking skin. They absorb excess fluid from active breakouts, help reduce the temptation to pick, and act as a protective barrier against everyday dirt and bacteria—all while blending seamlessly into your skin for comfortable, discreet wear throughout the day or night.
How Do Hydrocolloid Patches Work?
Hydrocolloid is a clinically trusted material used to manage moisture during the skin’s natural healing process. When applied to a blemish, the patch absorbs excess fluid while shielding the area from external irritants. This helps create an ideal healing environment while protecting the blemish from everyday irritants and unnecessary touching.
How Long Should I Wear a Patch?
For the best results, leave your patch on for at least 6 hours or overnight. Once the centre of the patch turns white, it has absorbed fluid from the blemish and is ready to be replaced if needed.
Which Blemishes Do They Work Best On?
Silky Clear Patches are most effective on blemishes that have formed a visible whitehead. They can also be worn over other spots to discourage touching and picking while protecting the skin throughout the day.
Are They Suitable for All Skin Types?
Yes. Silky Clear Patches are designed for all skin tones, skin types and genders. They are gentle enough for sensitive skin and are free from fragrance, alcohol and parabens.
Are the Patches Invisible?
Silky Clear Patches are ultra-thin and designed to blend comfortably with a wide range of skin tones. While no patch is completely invisible, their discreet design makes them suitable for both daytime and overnight wear.
When Should I Apply Them in My Skincare Routine?
Apply your patch to freshly cleansed, completely dry skin before applying moisturiser, sunscreen or makeup. Once the patch is securely in place, you can continue with the rest of your skincare routine.
Can I Wear Makeup Over the Patches?
Yes. Their ultra-thin design makes them comfortable to wear under most makeup products. For the smoothest finish, apply the patch first and gently apply makeup around it.
Can I Sleep in Them?
Definitely. Wearing your patch overnight is one of the easiest ways to give it plenty of time to work while you sleep.
Can I Use a Patch on a Popped Spot?
Yes. While we recommend avoiding picking whenever possible, a Silky Clear Patch can help absorb any remaining fluid and protect the area while it heals.
Can I Use Them Alongside Acne Treatments?
Yes. Our patches contain no active acne-fighting ingredients, making them easy to incorporate into most skincare routines. If you are using prescription acne medication, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist before use.
Are the Patches Waterproof?
Yes. Silky Clear Patches are water-resistant for everyday activities such as showering and washing your face. For the strongest adhesion, avoid prolonged soaking or rubbing.
Will They Stay on All Night?
Yes. When applied to clean, dry skin, Silky Clear Patches are designed to stay comfortably in place throughout the night and during everyday activities.
Do I Need to Patch Test?
Our patches are made with skin-friendly hydrocolloid adhesive and are suitable for most people. If you have particularly sensitive skin or known adhesive allergies, we recommend testing one patch on a small area before regular use.
Can I Use Them During Pregnancy or While Breastfeeding?
Our patches contain no active ingredients and are generally considered suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have any concerns, consult your doctor or healthcare provider.
Are the Patches Reusable?
No. Each patch is designed for single use only. Replace it with a fresh patch for additional protection.
How Many Patches Come in a Pack?
Each Silky Clear box contains 72 ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches in a selection of sizes, making it easy to find the right patch for every blemish.
How Should I Store My Patches?
Store your patches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal the pouch after each use to keep the remaining patches clean and protected.
