Cetaphil Acne Fast Rescue Pimple Patch – 24 Patches are ultra-thin spot patches designed to care for emerging pimples in their early stages and help reduce their appearance and the surrounding redness within a short period of use. They feature a formula containing Salicylic Acid, Centella Asiatica CICA and Heartleaf Extract.

The patch also covers the pimple area and protects it from repeated touching or picking, making it a practical and targeted step for acne-prone skin care.

The pack comes with 24 transparent patches in two different sizes; 12 small patches and 12 large patches to suit different pimple sizes and areas. They can be worn during the day or night thanks to their ultra-thin, water-resistant, sweat-resistant, and makeup-friendly design.

How to Use:

1. Identify the emerging pimple you want to care for.
2. Clean the area well, then dry the skin completely before applying the patch; the presence of water, creams, or oils may reduce its adhesion.
3. Choose the suitable size from the small or large patches according to the size of the targeted area.
4. Gently peel off the patch and place it directly over the pimple, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well to the skin.
5. Leave the patch in place for 6 hours.
6. After the time is complete, gently remove the patch and dispose of it. A new patch can be applied when needed.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends using the patch as soon as you notice the beginning of a pimple, because the product is mainly designed for emerging pimples in their early stages.
• For the best hold, make sure the skin is completely clean and dry and free from creams or oils at the patch area before applying it.
• Use the size that fully covers the pimple without needing to choose a patch much larger than the targeted area.
• Leave the patch on for a full 6 hours whenever possible.
• The patches can be used during the day or night, and they can also be worn with makeup thanks to their transparent and ultra-thin design.
• If you use them during the day, apply the patch first on clean, dry skin before applying products that may prevent direct adhesion to the skin.
• Avoid touching or pressing the pimple before applying the patch; the purpose of the patch is to cover the area and reduce picking.
• Do not reuse the same patch after removing it; use a new and clean patch if the area needs additional care time.
• The patches are mainly intended for emerging pimples and are not designed to extract blackheads or absorb discharge from mature whiteheads.
• If your skin is highly sensitive or you are using acids and other exfoliants in the same routine, monitor your skin’s response because the patches contain Salicylic Acid.
• It is preferable to avoid using strong exfoliants directly on the same area if signs of dryness or irritation appear, until the skin regains comfort.
• During the day, make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen within your skincare routine, especially when using products that contain exfoliating ingredients such as Salicylic Acid.
• If pimples continue to appear frequently or if severe or painful acne appears, Beauty Time recommends consulting a dermatologist for a suitable care plan.
