The main causes of acne (pimples)

The primary task in acne treatment is to find the cause of the disease. Acne appears under the influence of external factors and disease triggers, for which acne is a symptom. Why do acne appear:

Thyroid diseases;
Problems with hormones;
Taking hormonal drugs;
Gastrointestinal diseases;
Fatty and fried foods in large quantities;
Heredity;
Stress;
Allergies;
Abuse of cigarettes and alcohol;
Insufficient hygiene;
Changes in hormonal levels under the influence of menstruation.

Acne is a serious disease. If the rashes are systematic, appear constantly, take a long time to pass, or leave traces, you should consult a doctor. Most likely, their manifestation has reasons caused by disruptions in the functioning of certain body systems. After the examination, the doctor will prescribe treatment, and in addition to it, you can use acne patches.

Hydrogel patches for acne

Hydrogel is used in the production of patches and face masks. Manufacturers impregnate it with special active ingredients. When applied to the skin, a greenhouse effect is created, the product is absorbed quickly and completely. Special acne patches are designed to eliminate inflammation, brighten, and cleanse the skin.

Such products give a quick effect, and with regular use they can restore the epidermis, even out the complexion, moisturize and prevent the formation of new inflammations.

How to use acne patches

Be sure to cleanse your face and hands before applying.
Choose the size that best fits the entire lesion
Gently apply them to dry skin as the first step of your routine, especially for hydrocolloid patches.

Let them remain on the skin for no more than 24 hours or until the spots fade to an opaque color. When they become opaque, you know they are sucking debris out of your pores.

It is best to use these patches when your pimple is showing a white or yellow head. Look for the words “non-medicated” or “hydrocolloid patches” on the packaging. Do not apply patches after toner, essence, or serum. This will reduce their effectiveness and you will waste your products.

Contraindications for use

Patches are used on the outer layers of the epidermis, so it is important to pay attention to the composition. The product with which the hydrogel is impregnated should not contain allergens for you personally. It is not recommended to use cosmetic care in the following cases:

Open inflammations, abscesses;
Persistent rashes and acne, consult a doctor first;
Feeling of itching, burning at the time of use;
Allergies.

Girls with very problematic skin, rapid negative reactions and allergies are advised to consult a doctor. A dermatologist will help you choose pharmaceutical or cosmetic care.

Effect of use

When used regularly, patches have the following effects:

Creating a moist environment for rapid healing;
Protecting the inflamed area from infections;
Reducing the risk of scarring;
Effective effect of beneficial substances on affected skin;
Protection from the external environment;
Fast delivery of active elements to the layers of the epidermis.

A significant effect is achieved during the course of applying patches. A one-time or occasional application will help slightly reduce existing breakouts.

Correct application of wound plaster

The use of medical plaster for wounds is possible both at home and in medical institutions and does not require specific knowledge - you just need to remove the protective film and press the tissue part to the wound. It is only important to choose the right type of patch for the wound so that the effect is maximum.

Blisters and calluses on the feet and toes are caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes. To reduce discomfort, relieve pain and prevent infection of the callus if it ruptures, you need to tape the damaged area. For these purposes, there are different products, each of which has its own characteristics.

Against corns - protection from moisture and friction, prevention of skin roughening. The keratolytic substance included in the impregnation softens dead skin, and the remaining components disinfect, relieve pain, and stimulate healing.
From wet calluses - protection from mechanical damage, pain reduction, prevention of infection. Hydrocolloid material stimulates the resorption of the blister, tissue regeneration, and the growth of healthy cells.
For core and dry calluses - the rough layer is absorbed due to special impregnation, old calluses are softened and peeled off. The products adhere well to the skin.

A wound healing patch is used to treat trophic burns and diabetic skin lesions. Damaged skin must be protected from bacterial penetration. To do this, manufacturers impregnate the fabric portion of the product with special compounds. In contact with the wound, the product creates a gel layer and numbs the area. Skin cells receive an optimal environment for accelerated regeneration.

The length of time to wear a burn dressing differs from the recommendations for a regular antibacterial wound patch. After fixing, you need to leave the product on the wound until it heals, and there is no need to remove it while bathing in the shower and change it regularly. This treatment is indicated for 1st-2nd degree burns. More serious injuries require specialist intervention.

Correct use of a wound healing patch guarantees accelerated cell regeneration, destruction of harmful microorganisms, and elimination of edema. The impregnation contains mainly natural plant-based ingredients. The therapeutic effect has a prolonged effect.

Composition of patches

The hydrogel is coated and impregnated with a creamy care product. The impregnation may contain various substances for:

Eliminate inflammation. The activity of bacteria is one of the common reasons for the development of acne and its spread across the face. Fighting bacteria reduces and stops inflammatory processes.
Nutrition. Cosmetics do not penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, but give a visible effect. The skin becomes nourished and smoothed.
Hydration. Antibacterial agents dry out the skin. Drying leads to rapid aging. Moisturizing is an important step in any care.

The exact composition is indicated on the packages of hydrogel patches. Do not neglect this information. If the product contains few useful substances, petroleum products and preservatives predominate, it is better to choose another option.

What products do I most often use to fight acne - review of patches

Good day! Acne happens to everyone - albeit rarely, but it does happen. They happen to me too. Today is the long-promised review of funds for their urgent liquidation. I’ll tell you about everything in the photo, plus about Bon Voyage Agiotage from Letual Mini acne patches with an antibacterial effect.

I have been buying patches regularly for the last two years.
Every month (and sometimes 2-3 times a month) the package I receive always contains 4-6 packs of patches. I use it myself and share it with my sister, husband, and friends. In total, I tried about 10-12 different types of patches. I'll show you some of them. They have differences, and sometimes quite significant ones. I won’t dwell on the use - everyone understands what we are sticking on a pimple. I stick all the patches on myself or my husband at night and while we are at home, if the night is not enough. I will say more - except for one single species, the rest cannot be done overnight. The evolution of my skin care is such that from rubbing with pure alcohol I came to using spot treatments. I've tried a lot. True, I still haven’t given up vodka compresses and rubs, but plasters are a good alternative. All patches are in the form of transparent tape. Their photographs will not be informative, but nevertheless, I will show the remaining blisters I have. 1. Cettua Mini acne patches with Salicylic acid and Green Tea extract

I think these are some of the first patches I came across.
The box contains 4 blisters of 12 oval-shaped patches. Available in Russia for free sale (I will say more - this is the only thing for which I visit Letual). They work faster than the rest of the Korean majority. What I like is that they are quite effective, plus the cost is more than good. For a price similar to everyone else, we get not 10-12, but 48 pieces! and, I must say, they allow themselves to be glued even on not yet cleaned skin (the effect does not disappear, like with others). What I don’t like is - firstly, the stupid name “for acne” - well, why camouflage? Just write it - for acne! Apart from good cleansing in a good way, it’s unlikely that anything will help with the most common acne. So why hide from the obvious? I don’t like that the patches are not sold everywhere and you have to go to your least favorite store to get them - so far I only see them there. I glue them on a freshly formed pimple or on an existing one, closed or open, in which there is still something left after cleaning, immediately when I get home, I change it before going to bed. It doesn’t work overnight, but in 2 days it can turn a small problem into a “sore” with a crust, after which I no longer use it and am happy with the result. Compared to not using a patch and walking like this, the rate of tissue regeneration with it is much higher. But it’s lower than just treating a certain area with vodka 2-4 times. The patch, by the way, is Korean. Doesn't fall off at night and behaves well. On top of it you can do your usual nightly care. Cost: about 100-200 rubles Rating: 4 I’ve been using it for more than a year 2. The Face Shop Spot Clear Intensive Patch

Exactly the same transparent plaster.
Only round. The blister pack contains 6 large and 6 small circles. I glue it overnight. It does not significantly reduce the lifespan of a pimple. Yes, faster than he will live on his own after cleaning, but not for long. You need to glue it continuously for several days (with a break when you leave the house). Holds up well. It is more effective if the previously cleansed skin is additionally treated with vodka, blotted with a napkin and then glued on. Cost: about 100-200 rubles Rating: 3 (hereinafter “3” means satisfactory - i.e. average, but not bad - should not be confused with the school template imposed on us that “3” is bad) Used: since the fall 3. Missha Anti Trouble Patch

Exactly the same patches as Face Shop.
There are only 10 pieces in the package - 4 small and 6 larger. Otherwise everything is the same. Cost: about 100-200 rubles Rating: 3 (remember that it’s not “bad”, but “satisfactory”) I’ve been using: since the fall 4. Tony Moly Dr.Tony AC Control Spot Patch

12 clear patches per pack.
Otherwise there are no differences from the above two types. Average. You can use it. Cost: about 100-200 rubles Rating: 3 (remember...) Used: since autumn 5. Etude House AC Clinic Intense Pink Powder Spot Patch

Nice green color.
Inside there are 2 large transparent mugs, 8 medium ones and 6 small ones. Total 16 pieces. They are treating the problem just as slowly as the three comrades above. They have all the same characteristics. Cost: about 100-200 rubles Rating: 3 (...) Used: since autumn 6. Bon Voyage Agiotage from Letual Mini acne patches with antibacterial effect

Somehow at one point I ran out of plasters.
I went for a familiar (No. 1) remedy, which was not available. I took these. And not a single box, the old fool, took it! In general, I used them with grief in half. Even with those that I called above “satisfactory” they were not close. I have never seen worse patches. They don’t have any advantages except quantity (30 pieces - 10 in 3 mini-packs). And even then this is a very dubious plus. There are more disadvantages. Let's start with the strange shape. If all normal patches fit as if you were gluing tape - close to the skin, then these form a gap and protrude greatly above the surface. As a result, they do not stay on the face at all even during the day at home, not to mention at night. In the morning it is not necessary to see them on your face. At best, on another part of the face (the opposite one!), but usually you have to rip up the entire bed. They don't cut at all. If, with a small problem, I can cut the rest into several small patches, then these are almost impossible to cut - they are cut obliquely due to their layering, they wrinkle, tear, etc. Glue. This is some kind of horror. I have already said that it does not stick to the skin (even if you drop some alcohol first and wipe it off!), but it is also not some kind of “medicinal”, but just glue. Those. there is no result from it. But he can leave ugly, circle-shaped spots. I can't imagine how this could be. Result. Well yes, it is zero. In appearance, the patch itself resembles a bad fake of a cork - it bends, but a thick layer of ineffective glue is applied on top of this cork. The resulting structure is several mm in height. No sense. This is yet another failed private label remedy from this unloved outlet. And one more stone in their direction. I threw out the box a long time ago, but I couldn’t help but tell about this “miracle” of the cosmetic industry. I used it for problems that had already healed, because my conscience did not allow me to just throw it away. Cost: about 100-200 rubles Rating: 0 (worse than even unsatisfactory) I use: last summer a couple of boxes (2 or 3) and still have left for the fall. 7. Skin food Trouble Clear Spot Patch (Somaderm Spot)

But this thing is amazing!
I am ready to sing odes and praises to her. I am not ashamed to recommend these patches. I ordered without much hope for the spring. Just like trying new ones. Moreover, in several of my parcels previously they did not arrive (they were not in stock). These can cure a serious problem overnight. If the problem is not discovered, then by morning it can be eliminated and forgotten. If the problem is open, then overnight it will decrease by half. The patch has the ability to pull out everything that it covers. And in the morning, when we remove it, we get on the patch not only the contents of the place that concerned us, but also the contents of all the neighboring pores that it managed to cover with its area - white dots form there right on the patch. And the skin remains clean. Pores are clean. I am a rather reserved fellow when it comes to reviews with a “+” sign, but in this case, let me say that these particular plasters are the best plasters in my life! I won't lie. What are they? Opaque cloudy tape. Slightly rough, easy to stretch and cut. Almost feels like rubber. But very thin. Pleasant to the touch (not slippery-smooth like regular patches), the nail leaves a mark on the surface. I think that this is some kind of mass, condensed to such a state. 9 large circles, 5 medium, 8 small. The packaging itself not only opens, but you can also close it with a plastic lock (like a bag of beads), and inside the patches in a mini package are also hermetically sealed. And there is also a booklet attached for 1 spread with pictures. If you're interested, I'll take a photo. It clearly shows how the patch draws out all the contents. Well, yes - they don’t go anywhere at night. Sometimes 4 hours are enough for him to work. I buy and will buy again and again. Cost: about 250 rubles Rating: 5 Used: since April
Here is a review. I hope it will be useful to someone. I settled on the last option, but if they run out and it takes a long time to wait for the parcel, then I go for No. 1 on my list. The rest of them visit me regularly, but I’m not enthusiastic about them—they’re ordinary hard workers. Better than nothing. As for comments like “fu-fu-fu” - well, that’s your right. I won’t talk about “masks”. But, as they say, what is natural is not ugly - even princesses go to the toilet. For me, a person who didn’t get into pathology only because I wasn’t good with chemistry, this is, in general, a trifle.

How to choose anti-acne patches

The composition of the patches varies greatly. It is recommended to select a specific product for yourself according to the following principles:

Universal products for people with problem skin. They have a general healing, moisturizing and brightening effect. Designed for skin with minor problems without a medical diagnosis.
Directed action. May contain salicylic acid and alcohols. They dry the skin and stop inflammatory processes. The care and moisturizing effects are minimal or non-existent. Suitable for people with a diagnosed disease.

Targeted patches are designed to solve a specific problem, stop the development of pimples and the proliferation of bacteria. If rashes only bother you occasionally, it is better to choose universal petals.
