Acne Solution

LITZIT Hydrocolloid Acne Patches

LITZIT Acne Patches are small, adhesive skin treatments that help reduce pimples by absorbing excess fluid, protecting the skin, and delivering active ingredients to speed up the healing process. They are effective for treating surface-level pimples like whiteheads, papules, pustules and some conditions of cystic acne.

Our advanced acne patches are formulated with a powerful effective blend of natural and medical-grade ingredients, including soothing Tea Tree Oil, exfoliating Salicylic Acid, and healing Calendula (Marigold). Made with high-performance materials like Thermoplastic Rubber and Petroleum Resin, these patches adhere comfortably while promoting deep, effective absorption. Featuring moisture-balancing compounds like Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Hexanediol, they create a protective barrier that draws out impurities, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing all without irritating the skin.

Active Ingredients for Acne Treatment:

Tree Oil (Tea Tree Oil):

Tea tree oil is a well-known antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent that helps kill acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes).

It also reduces redness and swelling of inflamed acne (pustules, papules), helping clear the skin more quickly.

Salicylic Acid:

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates the pores to exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce oil production.

It is effective in treating blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory acne, helping prevent future breakouts.

Marigold (Calendula):

Calendula is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, making it ideal for soothing irritated skin.

It helps reduce redness and swelling in acne-prone areas, while promoting the healing of acne lesions and minimizing the risk of scarring.

Effectiveness of LITZIT Acne Patches:

Whiteheads and Blackheads:

Acne patches with hydrocolloid technology can help draw out excess oil, debris, and impurities from whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones).

By absorbing oil and promoting gentle exfoliation, these patches can help unclog pores and reduce the appearance of comedonal acne lesions. Acne patches may not be as effective for blackheads as they are for whiteheads.

Papules and Pustules: Acne patches can effectively target pustules (pus-filled lesions) and papules (red, inflamed bumps) by absorbing excess fluid and promoting healing.

The adhesive patch creates a protective barrier over the lesion, shielding it from external irritants and preventing further contamination.

Nodules and Cysts:

While acne patches may not be as effective for large, deep-seated nodules or cysts, they can still provide some benefits in terms of protection and wound healing.

Acne patches can help prevent further trauma to nodular or cystic lesions caused by friction, picking, or touching, allowing them to heal more effectively over time. 

Inflammatory Acne:

Acne patches containing anti-inflammatory ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil can help reduce redness, swelling, and inflammation associated with inflammatory acne lesions.

These patches can provide soothing relief and promote a faster healing process for inflamed acne lesions.

Occasional Breakouts or Spot Treatment:

Acne patches are ideal for spot treating individual acne lesions or occasional breakouts, allowing individuals to target specific areas of concern without applying treatment to unaffected areas.

They are convenient and discreet, making them suitable for use during the day or overnight.

Absorption of Excess Oil:

Acne patches are made with hydrocolloid, a type of dressing material that absorbs excess oil (sebum) from the skin.

By absorbing oil, these patches help to unclog pores and reduce the risk of further breakouts.

Protection and Barrier Function:

Acne patches create a protective barrier over the acne lesion, shielding it from external irritants and preventing further contamination or infection. This barrier function can help promote faster healing and reduce the risk of scarring.

Reduction of Inflammation:

Acne patches contain ingredients such as hydrocolloid, salicylic acid or tea tree oil, which have anti-inflammatory properties.

These ingredients can help reduce redness, swelling, and inflammation associated with acne lesions.

Promotion of Wound Healing:

Acne patches create a moist environment around the acne lesion, which can promote the natural wound healing process.

This can help the acne lesion heal more quickly and effectively, reducing the overall duration of the breakout.

Prevention of Picking or Touching:

By covering the acne lesion with a patch, individuals are less likely to pick, squeeze, or touch the affected area, which can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of scarring.

Acne patches act as a physical barrier, reminding individuals to leave the acne lesion undisturbed while it heals.

Convenience and Ease of Use:

Acne patches are easy to apply and remove, making them a convenient option for on-the-go treatment of individual acne lesions.

They can be worn overnight or during the day, depending on personal preference and lifestyle.
