Mentholatum Acnes Dressing Sterile Hydrocolloid Acne Patch 26 pcs

Acnes Dressing is a sterile hydrocolloid film acne patch by Mentholatum (Rohto-Mentholatum), specialists in acne skincare across Asia. At 0.03cm thin, it is nearly invisible — the translucent film blends with skin tone for comfortable day or night wear.

How it works:

• Hydrocolloid layer absorbs fluid, sebum, and pus from the spot. It swells and turns white when full — creating a moist wound-healing environment that supports recovery.
• Breathable outer film acts as a physical barrier against bacteria and environmental contaminants.
• Covers the spot to prevent accidental picking, reducing the risk of dark marks and scars.

Key differentiators from standard patches: genuine sterile manufacturing + 3 sizes in a single box.

Hydrocolloid acne patches help in 4 key ways:

• Absorb fluid: Draws out pus, fluid, and sebum. The patch swells and turns white/opaque when full — a visible signal it has worked.
• Block bacteria: The outer film prevents external contamination and re-inflammation.
• Stop picking: Covers the spot to prevent squeezing, reducing dark marks and scars.
• Speed healing: Acnes Dressing by Mentholatum creates a moist wound-healing environment, reducing swelling and redness.

Best for whiteheads or already-popped spots. For blackheads/comedones, effect is limited — pair with Benzac topical cream for better results on clogged pores.

When to apply: Day or night — the 0.03cm ultra-thin translucent film is comfortable for overnight wear.

Pop first? Not recommended. Popping spreads bacteria. Apply directly on a visible whitehead — the patch absorbs naturally.

How to use Acnes Dressing:

• Wash face and pat completely dry
• Choose a size slightly larger than the spot
• Peel without touching the adhesive side
• Center over spot and press gently to seal
• Leave 6-8 hours or until white/opaque
• Peel gently along skin; wash face as normal

Do not reuse — replace with a fresh patch each time.

Most acne patches on the market are not sterile. Acnes Dressing by Mentholatum undergoes genuine sterilization before packaging — this matters because:

• Acne is an open wound: Whiteheads and popped spots have exposed skin; a sterile patch reduces the risk of introducing bacteria.
• Sensitive skin-friendly: Inflamed skin is more reactive; a sterile acne patch provides an extra layer of safety.
• Higher standard: Sterilization adds production cost, reflecting Mentholatum's quality commitment.

For severe inflammation, swelling, or pain, consult a pharmacist before use.

Acnes Dressing by Mentholatum contains 26 pieces across 3 sizes, allowing you to match each patch to the spot:

• 0.8cm × 16 pcs (most included): Small to medium spots, delicate areas — nose sides, lip corners, small cheek pimples. The most numerous size for everyday use.
• 1.0cm × 5 pcs: Average-sized spots on forehead, chin, or prominent cheek pimples.
• 1.2cm × 5 pcs: Larger or more inflamed spots — cystic pimples or clustered spots needing broader coverage.

Sizing tip: Pick a patch about 1-2mm wider than the spot. The border must adhere to normal skin — too small and it lifts, especially under makeup or with sweat.

All 3 sizes in one Acnes Dressing box — no need to buy multiple products for different spot sizes.

Comparing acne patches (patch form only) available at Intimo Life:

• 3M Nexcare Acne Dressing Standard — popular everyday patch, budget-friendly, does not specifically emphasize sterile standard.
• 3M Nexcare Acne Dressing Thin 30 pcs — thinner than standard, 30 pcs, single size only.
• 3M Nexcare Acne Absorbing Patch Clear 12 pcs — ultra-thin clear edge, 12 pcs, single size, emphasizes concealment.

In summary: Choose Acnes Dressing when you want a sterile acne patch with 3 sizes in one box — ideal for multiple spot sizes at once or sensitive skin requiring a higher hygiene standard.

Acnes Dressing is safe for most skin types — but note:

• Adhesive reaction: Redness, itching, or swelling → remove immediately and stop using.
• Prolonged wear: Skin around the patch may over-hydrate and peel — change as directed.
• Not for large wounds: For small acne spots only, not open injuries.
• Sensitive skin: Patch test on a small area for 24 hours before first use.
• Children: Keep out of reach to prevent swallowing.

Severe inflammation, swelling, or no improvement after 1 week → consult a pharmacist or dermatologist.

Acnes Dressing can be used alongside topical treatments — follow the right order:

• Apply topical first, wait to dry: Use Benzac (Benzoyl Peroxide) or Clinda-M (Clindamycin), let it absorb fully, then apply the patch.
• Never patch over wet medication: Adhesion fails and both products lose efficacy.
• Order: Cleanse → Topical → Wait 10-15 min → Apply Acnes Dressing

If irritation increases, separate timing: patch by day, topical at night.
