FAQs
What is Hydrocolloid?
Hydrocolloid is a type of medical grade material used in acne patches. It is a substance that forms a moist environment when applied to the skin.
In the context of our acne patches, hydrocolloid acts as an absorbent and protective barrier over the acne lesion. It helps to draw out impurities, excess oil, and pus from the pimple, while also creating a barrier that prevents external contaminants from entering the blemish.
Hydrocolloid also aids in the healing process by keeping the area moist, promoting faster recovery and reducing the risk of scarring.

What kind of pimples IS HALOSKIN'S PATCHES USED FOR?
