Protective hydrocolloid acne patches designed to absorb impurities, reduce visible inflammation and support faster healing without drying out the skin. Ideal for blemish-prone and oily skin.
Ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches that help protect active breakouts from dirt, bacteria and picking while absorbing excess oil and impurities. The patches create a moist healing environment to support faster recovery and help reduce the appearance of redness and irritation.
Hydrocolloid - absorbs excess oil and impurities from blemishes while helping protect the skin barrier during healing
Protective Barrier Technology - shields breakouts from external bacteria, touching and irritation to help prevent worsening of spots
Moisture Retention System - helps maintain an optimal healing environment without drying out the surrounding skin
1. Use on clean, dry skin before applying skincare products
2. Select a patch size that fully covers the blemish
3. Apply directly onto the breakout and press gently to secure
4. Leave on for several hours or overnight until the patch turns white
5. Remove and replace with a fresh patch if needed
6. Continue with the rest of your skincare routine around the patch area
Best for: Oily, combination, acne-prone and breakout-prone skin
Use with caution: Sensitive skin - remove gently to avoid irritation
Avoid if: Skin is broken, severely irritated or reacting to adhesive products

This has COMPLETELY changed my skin! I’m an acne girlie and have struggled with my skin for years, so I honestly didn’t expect such a difference. Since adding this into my routine, all those little bumps have cleared, my skin feels so much smoother, and I haven’t had a breakout in ages! I started with the mini size to trial it as the skin scanner recommended it. Now it’s genuinely the most important step in my skincare routine. I couldn’t be without it!

Enjoying all the skincare! Love love love the Dr. Althea 345 Relief cream. So hydrating but won’t clog my acne prone skin! The Anua Azelaic Acid is a game changer! Literally my red acne spots are so much less noticeable in the morning! Also the Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is perfect for winter months when my skin is craving some hydration and barrier love!

Founder review: Before starting True Essentials, I struggled with acne for years and spent a lot of money trying products that didn’t work for my skin. Learning about Korean skincare, focusing on hydration and skin barrier health, and building a consistent routine completely changed my approach to skincare. The products I stock are products I genuinely use and believe in.

I’ve recently added the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream to my evening skincare routine and I’m honestly obsessed. My skin feels so hydrated and smooth, and I wake up with such a healthy glow. It sits beautifully on the skin and has made my complexion look so much fresher. Definitely a new staple in my routine! Also super impressed with my next day delivery, great service!

This is the first sunscreen I’ve ever used that I actually love. It smells amazing, feels super hydrating, and gives your skin such a nice glow without leaving a white cast. I have acne-prone skin and it hasn’t caused me any breakouts or irritation at all. It’s tinted but blends in really nicely and colour corrects your skin while making it look glowy and healthy. It also sits perfectly under makeup. I’ve used it both when I’m pale and when I’ve fake tanned and it blends well with both.

Amazing products! So happy with all my purchases. Kelly has been so amazing and advised me of what I should try and she was absolutely bang on. Seeing Kelly’s results and now experiencing these products for myself I can confirm how fabulous they are! Love the large size jars too, total value for money. The cleanser is so lovely, the wipes are amazing and made my skin feel so clean. The collagen jelly cream is epic and made my skin feel so glowy and hydrated. Thank you for my fantastic new glow! Would highly recommend to all. Thank you Kelly from one very happy customer xxx

SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml
I do like the effect these give but they are slippery and tend to slip down from under the eyes and end up on my cheeks which isnt soo bad but I have been laying down with them on instead to stop them from slipping
