At Nua, we have found a way to help you combat this! Our newly launched Acne Control range includes our first ever Acne Healing Patch made out of 100% hydrocolloid. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about an acne patch that will help treat your acne or pimple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-hydrocolloid\"><strong>What is hydrocolloid?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hydrocolloid is a moisture absorbing agent that creates a moist environment on the skin to promote healing on a film sheet. In simple terms, when hydrocolloid is used for acne, it helps in soaking up all the liquid, pus and gunk from the infected pore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-acne-patch-and-how-does-it-work-on-acne\"><strong>What is an acne patch and how does it work on acne?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hydrocolloid is added to a carrier-like a film to create an absorbent, self-adhesive, waterproof protective cover &#8211; what our acne patch is!\u00a0 This patch draws out ALL the impurities from the skin.

For other types of acne, it serves as a protective layer to prevent popping or picking on the acne.

An acne (or pimple) patch usually comes in a circular shape to fit perfectly over an acne spot. Taking this consideration to mind, our Acne Healing Patches come in two sizes &#8211; 12mm and 10mm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.nuawoman.com\/blog\/PatchInfographic.png\" alt=\"Acne healing Patch - Nua\" width=\"2111\" height=\"2276\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-should-i-keep-the-patch-on-for-it-to-work-and-how-often-can-i-use-it-on-one-spot\"><strong>How long should I keep the patch on for it to work and how often can I use it on one spot?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You must keep the patch on for 6 hours or until the patch turns white. You can use upto 2 patches on one acne in a day but do not keep the patch on for more than 12 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-dispose-an-acne-patch-correctly\"><strong>How to dispose an acne patch correctly?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The disposal process is similar to that of a bandaid. Fold it, wrap it up in a bit of tissue and put it in the bin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-advantages-of-using-an-acne-patch\"><strong>What are the advantages of using an acne patch?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>It creates a healing environment for faster recovery for the acne.<\/li>\r\n<li>It prevents any external bacteria or dirt from entering.<\/li>\r\n<li>It keeps you from picking and popping the pimple.<\/li>\r\n<li>You can wear makeup over the patch.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The verdict?
