What it is
Deep Acne Invisible Liquid Patch is a sulfur-based spot treatment that dries into a semi-permeable film. Dermalogica says it is intended for acne blemishes and uneven skin tone.
Key ingredients
- Colloidal sulfur (5%): Dermalogica says this helps combat breakouts.
- Niacinamide (4%): The brand says it helps soothe skin and fade post-breakout marks.
- Lactic acid: Dermalogica identifies this alpha hydroxy acid as an exfoliant that brightens skin.
- Camphor: The manufacturer says it provides a cooling sensation.
How to use
Dispense a rice-sized amount onto the back of a hand, then dab it onto a deep blemish when it first forms. Rub gently until the product is absorbed and invisible, wait one minute for it to dry, and repeat as needed during the day. Avoid the eye and lip areas.
Who should be careful
The formula includes lactic acid and several essential oils, as well as limonene, linalool, citronellol and geraniol. Review the ingredient list if these are concerns for you, and follow the brand’s direction to keep it away from the eyes and lips. This is general product information, not medical advice.
What the brand claims
Dermalogica describes the formula as a liquid-to-patch treatment that helps clear blemishes, soothe breakout-irritated skin and help prevent future breakouts. These are brand claims, not our findings.
