Differin Acne Patches

A focused patch for individual blemishes

These patches pair a protective cover with salicylic acid and botanical ingredients, providing a targeted approach to individual spots. Keeping a blemish covered can help discourage picking, while the two diameters let you choose a closer fit. They differ from plain hydrocolloid dressings, so the formula and directions below are worth checking.

Cover individual blemishes

The pack contains 18 large and 18 small patches, so you can choose a size for the area being covered. These contain exfoliating and botanical ingredients; they are not plain, unmedicated hydrocolloid patches. The formula includes Canadian willowherb and tea tree extract as well as centella.

How to use

1. Clean and dry the skin where you want to apply a patch.
2. Peel off a suitable-sized patch and place it over the area.
3. For this pictured pack, leave on for at least four hours and no more than 12 hours, then remove.
4. Apply a fresh patch as necessary, following the pack directions.

Before use

For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Stop if irritation occurs. Check the formula if you are sensitive to salicylic acid, alcohol or botanical extracts. Follow the instructions on your supplied pack, as newer patch versions may have different wear times.
