WHY WE MADE THIS
Many pimple patches only work on surface-level zits. Our AHA/BHA Pimple Patches use microdart technology to deliver ingredients into the heart of deep pimples, targeting acne at the source.

THE SCIENCE

1

Clears and unclogs pores

Salicylic acid and glycolic acid eliminate pore-clogging dead skin cells and target bacteria while stimulating collagen production.
2

Eliminates bacteria & excess oil

BHAs and tea tree oil provide anti-fungal and anti-bacterial benefits while regulating excess oil.
3

Gently exfoliates skin

Gluconolactone lifts skin's surface layers to reveal clear, renewed skin.
4

Repairs & nourishes skin barrier

Arginine fights skin damage, while N-acetyl glucosamine and niacinamide hydrate and heal.

How to use the AHA/BHA Pimple Patches

Use a gentle cleanser to remove make-up, dirt and excess oil. Cover the pimple with an AHA/BHA Pimple Patch for at least two hours. Remove the patch and apply a hydrating moisturiser, like our Ceramide Repair Balm.

Can I use this with my clinical-grade formula?

Yes! We recommend using the AHA/BHA Pimple Patches as part of your multi-step solution to acne. Use the patches alongside your custom treatment, day time or night-time.

How do pimple patches work?

Our AHA/BHA Pimple Patches feature microdarts containing alpha, beta, and poly hydroxy acids. When the patch is applied, the microdarts dissolve into the skin and the acids are released directly into the pimple. The acids work together to reduce the size and severity of the blemish. Meanwhile, other ingredients provide anti-bacterial benefits, repair damaged skin, and stimulate collagen growth.

Can I apply the patches to pimples that have not come to a head?

The patches can be applied at any stage of the pimple’s life cycle. The microdarts are designed to deliver the AHAs and BHAs throughout the different layers of your skin, effectively targeting both surface-level pimples and deep, blind pimples underneath.

Do I need to prick or pop the pimple before I apply the patch?

There is no need to prick or pop the pimple before applying the patch. Generally, people will pop a pimple to ensure that active ingredients reach the centre of the pimple, but we designed our patches with microdarts that deliver the treatment through the head of the pimple with minimal interruption to the skin. This helps to minimise trauma to the skin and reduce the risk of scarring when you pop a pimple.

How long do the patches take to work?

You should see results after wearing a pimple patch for two hours. For particularly stubborn spots, you might like to use two pimple patches consecutively (four hours wear time).

Do the pimple patches work on cystic acne?

Yes, Software’s pimple patches work on all kinds of acne. Each patch contains three different hydroxy acids (alpha, beta, and poly), which work together to penetrate the pimple at different layers, including deep under the skin.

Do pimple patches work on blackheads?

Yes. Blackheads are the result of dead skin cells and impurities blocking hair follicles.

The AHAs and BHAs used in Software’s pimple patches are excellent exfoliators which can help to remove these impurities and draw out blockages from the follicle. Salicylic Acid Wash can be used in tandem with the patches to enhance the exfoliation process.  

What’s the difference between a microdart pimple patch and a hydrocolloid patch?

Our AHA/BHA Pimple Patches are more than just a simple hydrocolloid. We’ve scientifically formulated a unique blend of ingredients that work on breakouts throughout different levels of your skin, from surface to dermis. These patches offer the same skin coverage as a flat sticker, but our micro-needle technology goes several steps further to deliver active ingredients, ensuring you get maximum value from each patch.
