DR. ZAP'S Pimple PatchesAcne Spot Treatment for Everyone.
Dr Zap's Pimple Patches reduce and clear up pimples, acne and breakouts to leave you looking and feeling fresh! Our hydrocolloid patches work to draw out gunk and impurities, while forming an invisible protective barrier allowing the area to heal, and preventing further dirt and nastiness from getting in.

Three steps. One night.
Nothing to rub in, nothing to scrub, nothing to wash off in the morning. Just a thin sterile patch doing quiet work while you sleep.
30 seconds
Clean the spot, pat it dry
Hydrocolloid needs a dry surface to grip, so give the area a proper wash and dry it off. Put the patch on before toner or moisturizer — anything damp or oily underneath and it will lift by 2am.
6–8 hours
Stick it on and go to sleep
The 8 mm dot for a small spot, the 12 mm patch for a bigger one. It stays put through a pillowcase, seals the blemish off from dirt and bacteria, and puts something solid between the spot and your fingers.
By morning
Peel it off once it's cloudy
In the morning the middle has gone white. Peel the patch off, throw it away, and use a fresh one the next night if the spot still wants one.
The white bit is the whole point.
A fresh patch is clear. As it absorbs fluid and impurities from the blemish, the hydrocolloid swells and clouds over — that white circle is everything it drew out and is now holding onto, instead of sitting on your skin. Cloudy means done. Peel it off.

6–8 hours
By morning
The two doing the work.
One layer that absorbs, one oil that most patches leave out. No drug actives, because the whole thing is drug-free.
0.4 mmThickness
Hydrocolloid
The absorbent bit
A gel-forming layer just 0.4 mm thick. It draws fluid and impurities up out of the blemish and holds them, while sealing the spot away from dirt, bacteria, and picking. That combination is why a spot is usually flatter and less visible by morning.
Australian tea tree oil
The part plain patches skip
Plenty of patches are hydrocolloid and nothing else. Ours has Australian tea tree oil worked into the patch itself, so it stays on the spot for the whole six to eight hours instead of being dabbed on and rubbed off on your pillowcase. It's also why the pack smells of tea tree rather than of nothing at all.
And what's not in there.
Artificial colors, Synthetic fragrances, Parabens, Phthalates, Harsh sulfates.

Three ways to deal with a spot.
Plain patches and spot creams both work for people. Here's the honest difference, so you can pick the one that suits the spot you're actually looking at.

What one night looks like.
The flat spot in the morning, the right patch for the job, and mostly the not-picking.
“Put one on at eleven, forgot about it completely, peeled it off cloudy at seven. The spot was flat and, more importantly, I'd left it alone all night.”
“I'm a picker. That's my actual problem, not the spot. Having something physically covering it is the only thing that has ever stopped me.”
If you pick at spots “The two sizes matter more than I expected. Little dot for a whitehead, the big one when it's a bigger situation.”
If you use both sizes “You genuinely can't spot the small ones unless you're looking for them. I once wore one through an entire workday by accident.”
If you have an oily T-zone “It just sits there quietly and comes off cloudy in the morning. No sting, no fuss. It's a patch — that's the appeal.”
If you have sensitive skin
Everything else, answered.
Wear time, sizes, deep spots, sensitive skin, and shipping.
