Innovative Microneedling Patches

Blemish-prone Skin

Description

Vice Reversa Pimple Patch is an innovative microneedling skincare patch that targets pimples in their development stage, helping to neutralise and flatten them before they fully develop. Suitable for all acne-prone skin types. Can be used on the face or body and suitable for all ages. 8 patches come in a box.

Key ingredients include Salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates into sebum-filled pores, exfoliating the pore lining and loosening sticky keratin. Green Tea Extract and Madecassoside are well-studied antioxidants with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. They also promote wound healing. Hyaluronic Acid is a moisturising ingredient found naturally the skin, it attracts and holds onto water, increasing hydration and elasticity for plumper skin. Dissolvable microneedles are affixed to a Medical-Grade Hydrocolloid patch (biodegradable) which functions in two ways: it covers the area to maximize ingredient absorption whilst protecting the area from outside contaminants and bacteria.

Dr. Webster’s Recommendation: Vice Reversa Pimple Patch makes use of a unique delivery system for targeting deeper pimples. Each patch contains 360 microscopic pyramid-shaped needles made from crystallised active ingredients. Once applied, the microneedles begin to dissolve, allowing for maximum absorption. If the pimple life-cycle is halted, it also prevents scarring, another benefit and common post-acne frustration. After application, most pimples will shrink in size and swelling after 6 hours, but in some cases, it might take a little longer. Stubborn cases may require a follow-up application. Results will vary from pimple to pimple. Patches will work best on smaller pimples that have yet to form a head. Very deep cystic acne is generally harder to treat topically. Follow usage instructions to achieve the best results and always wear a high-factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

    Works extremely well on blind pimples, pain and swelling will be gone the next day. Would not recommend using on broken skin or pimples with a head. Patches are huge so only good for using overnight.

    This works incredibly well if the placement of the pimple is convenient and if you get it in the early stages or if the pimple burst and left a mark.
    If it’s too close to the lip for example the sticky part does not stick.
    When the pimple is yellow and ready to be burst it doesn’t help as the sticky part again doesn’t want to stick.
    But other than that it really is a phenomenal product.

    This has been such a lifesaver! I just pop one on when I see a pimple starting to form and it is basically gone by morning. Will definitely purchase again.

    I normally get a few small pimples after shaving, and I used them on a few spots, have to say great results, and instant. A true winner. Worth every cent.
