How it compares
- Its label lists no scent ingredients, which is true of 7 of the 11 products in Pimple Patches & Overnight Spot Treatments with a recorded ingredient list.
What it is
CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches are ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches for individual pimples, made for blemish-prone, oily skin.
Key ingredients
- Hydrocolloid: A water-absorbing gel that draws out fluid and oil from a blemish.
- Ceramides (NP, AP and EOP): CeraVe says they help restore the skin’s natural barrier and keep moisture in.
- Niacinamide: CeraVe says it may help calm skin and reduce water loss.
How to use
Cleanse and dry the area, cover the blemish for at least six hours or overnight, then peel off slowly by stretching the edges. Use each patch once.
Who should be careful
CeraVe’s comparison table mentions 2% salicylic acid, but salicylic acid isn’t in the printed ingredient list, so don’t count on these as a medicated patch.
What the brand claims
In CeraVe’s consumer testing, 87.5% said blemishes looked smaller immediately and 90% said the patch stayed put. CeraVe says they absorb oil in as little as three hours.
