Geologie - Zit Zappers

Hero Ingredients: The magic is in the material itself.

Hydrocolloid: This is the core of the patch. Hydrocolloid is a medical-grade material that has been used for years in wound healing. It works by gently drawing out and absorbing fluid (like pus and oil) from the pimple. This process visibly flattens the blemish and creates a moist, protected environment that helps the skin heal faster.

Salicylic Acid: Infused into the hydrocolloid, this classic acne-fighting ingredient provides a targeted dose of gentle exfoliation. It helps to further clean out the pore and reduce inflammation right at the source.

Full Ingredient List:
Hydrocolloid, Salicylic Acid.

These patches are suitable for all skin types, and are a must-have for anyone with acne-prone skin. They are specifically designed to be used on individual, surfaced pimples (the kind with a visible whitehead).

Visibly Reduces Pimples Overnight: Works quickly to absorb fluid and flatten blemishes, often in as little as 6-8 hours.

Prevents Picking and Scarring: Creates a physical barrier that keeps your hands off, reducing the risk of inflammation and long-term marks.

Creates an Ideal Healing Environment: Protects the blemish from outside bacteria while maintaining moisture, which is key for faster healing.

Targeted and Discreet: Delivers ingredients exactly where they're needed without drying out the surrounding skin. The translucent patch is barely noticeable.

For best results, apply to a surfaced pimple as soon as you see a "head."

Step 1: Cleanse your face and gently pat the area completely dry. The patch will not stick properly to wet skin.

Step 2: Peel a single patch from the sheet.

Step 3: Carefully place the patch directly over the center of the pimple, pressing down gently for a few seconds to ensure it's secure.

Step 4: Leave the patch on for at least 6 hours, or ideally, overnight while you sleep.

Step 5: To remove, gently peel it off. You'll know it worked when you see a white spot of absorbed gunk on the used patch.

This product is sterile and generally very well-tolerated. However, it contains Salicylic Acid. If you have a known sensitivity to salicylic acid or adhesives, please be cautious.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. Do not apply to broken skin or deep, cystic acne that has not come to a head.

These patches are one of the smartest and most satisfying ways to deal with a surprise breakout. The best time to use one is right after you've washed your face in the evening and notice a pimple has come to a head. Put one on and go to sleep. Waking up and peeling it off to see what it has absorbed is surprisingly gratifying, and the blemish underneath is almost always significantly smaller and less red.

This product is fragrance-free.

Each patch is a 12mm circle. The patches are available in multiple pack sizes to suit your needs. 2-Pack: Contains 2 sheets, for a total of 48 patches. 4-Pack: Contains 4 sheets, for a total of 96 patches.

How do I know the patch is working?
You can literally see it work. After several hours, the translucent patch will turn an opaque white color in the center. That white spot is all the fluid and pus (the "gunk") that it has successfully drawn out from the blemish.

Do these work on all kinds of acne?
They work best on pimples that have come to a surface, specifically pustules (the classic "whitehead"). They are less effective on deep, under-the-skin bumps like cystic or nodular acne, as there is no "gunk" for the hydrocolloid to draw out.

Can I wear these during the day?
You can. The patches are thin and translucent, so they are not very noticeable. They can be great for wearing during the day to protect a blemish and prevent you from absentmindedly touching or picking at it while you work.
