Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do blemish patches work?
A blemish patch is like a small sticker that covers blemishes, containing a gel called hydrocolloid to help immediately improve the appearance of blemishes upon application. CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches, developed by dermatologists, contain three essential ceramides and niacinamide as well to achieve visible results in as little as 3 hours. They work by absorbing oil and substances produced by skin, while covering the blemish to prevent further damage, such as from picking.1
-
Are patches good for blemishes?
The purpose of a blemish patch is to help improve the look of blemishes. This patch can improve the look of blemishes overnight by absorbing the fluid and gunk from them while providing a protective barrier so that further skin irritation doesn't occur. You should only use a blemish barrier patch once, then dispose of it.2 CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches come in packages of 22, with visible results in 3 hours.
-
How do pimple patches work?
Typically, a blemish patch is made of hydrocolloid, a water-absorbing material that forms a gel. This helps draw out oil and other gunk from blemishes while protecting the skin from touching, picking, and drying out.2
