FAQs
What makes hydrocolloid patches effective?
Hydrocolloid creates a moist environment that absorbs excess fluid and shields the spot from external irritation, helping blemishes look flatter with less redness.
Can I use the moisturiser with actives like vitamin C or retinol?
Yes. Apply your treatment first, then seal with this moisturiser. If your skin is reactive, alternate your actives and use the moisturiser daily.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The moisturiser focuses on comfort and barrier support, and the patches are fragrance-free, drug-free and gentle on even the most delicate skin.
Why choose refills and recycled packaging?
Refill pouches and recycled paper reduce single-use plastic, packaging waste and help keep carbon emissions down in transit. Not only that, they cost significantly less than buying the jars, which is a saving for your wallet and the planet.
