Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do anti-spot patches work?
An anti-spot patch is like a small sticker that covers pimples, containing a gel called hydrocolloid to help immediately improve the appearance of imperfections upon application. CeraVe Anti-Spot Barrier Patches, developed by dermatologists, contain three essential ceramides and niacinamide to achieve visible results in as little as 3 hours. They work by absorbing oil and substances produced by skin, while covering the blemish area to prevent further damage, such as from picking.1 -
Are patches good for acne-prone skins?
The purpose of a patch is to help improve the look of spots. This patch help improve the look of the skin by absorbing the fluid and gunk from them while providing a protective barrier so that further skin irritation doesn't occur. You should only use an Anti-Spot Barrier Patch once, then dispose of it.2 CeraVe Patches come in packages of 22, with visible results in 3 hours -
How do pimple patches work?
Typically, a pimple patch is made of hydrocolloid, a water-absorbing material that forms a gel. This helps draw out oil and other gunk from blemish area while protecting the skin from touching, picking, and drying out.2

Can I wear anti-spot patches while sleeping?
