Expert Advice

“Our new innovative acne treatment combines the protection of a patch and efficacy of a serum in a targeted application. Unlike conventional acne treatments which often require 2 or more separate products – targeted treatment and physical blemish patch to address acne. The physical skin-like patch is invisible, behaves like skin and delivers acne healing ingredients to diminish the size and appearance of acne, acne marks and redness.”

Dr. Nancy Ilaya, PhD. Kiehl’s Global Scientific Director

Skin Pro Tip

Use one drop of our Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution in the morning and at night. For daytime use, always remember to apply UV protection after applying our invisible pimple patch with 2% Salicylic Acid. At night, our formula can be applied as the last step in your skincare routine.

When To Use A Pimple Patch?

It’s best to use a pimple patch right after cleansing. Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution is applied as the last step of your skincare routine. It not only helps protect against factors that lead to new and worsening acne, but it also protects against external irritants like dirt, oil, makeup, and picking to clear acne quickly.
