Despite our best efforts, breakouts can still happen—and blemish patches are a valuable tool in any anti-acne skin care arsenal. With the new Effaclar Duo+M Multi-Target Blemish Patches, La Roche-Posay is shaking up this product category by delivering visible results in just three hours. Read on to learn more about:
How do pimple patches work?
Worn day or night, pimple patches offer a gentle, discreet way to effectively treat and cover blemishes. These new pimple patches from La Roche-Posay spot-treat and promote healing through several modes of action.
Absorb gunk: Effaclar Duo+M Multi-Target Blemish Patches feature hydrocolloid technology that absorbs excess oil and sebum to reduce blemish size and associated inflammation.
Skin protection: Pimple patches provide a physical barrier that protects skin from bacteria, dirt and environmental aggressors while discouraging picking and touching.
Help for healing: Hydrocolloid patches support the natural healing process by keeping affected skin moist. This may also help prevent post-acne scarring.
Wear them anytime: With a thickness of 420 microns, Effaclar Duo+M Multi-Target Blemish Patches create an invisible protective barrier, and they can even be worn under makeup.
Tailor your blemish treatment: Each box of Effaclar Duo+M Multi-Target Blemish Patches contains twelve small (10mm) and ten medium (12mm) patches to target blemishes of different sizes.
Proven results from La Roche-Posay pimple patches
Effaclar Duo+M Multi-Target Blemish Patches work immediately and deliver visible improvement upon contact. After wearing a patch for three hours:
- 94% agree their spot looks flattened*
- 96% agree it protects and makes the spot less visible*
- 96% agree it prevents the spot from worsening*
Best of all, these pimple patches turn white as they absorb excess oil and gunk, so you can see when it’s time to replace them.
Introducing your new La Roche-Posay acne treatment routine
Effectively treating acne requires consistency and patience. A comprehensive La Roche-Posay acne treatment routine that keeps pores clear with proven active ingredients is the ideal approach for maintaining healthy skin. As always, if you are not seeing results or have severe acne to begin with, it is essential to consult your board-certified dermatologist for advice and potentially recommended medications.
Although these La Roche-Posay acne treatments are powerful on their own, they are suitable for layering and have been clinically tested as a routine.
