how it works
the science, minus the jargon
Hydrocolloid technology was first developed for professional wound care - here it's cut down to spot size. The material absorbs fluid and locks it away, keeping the spot covered and protected. That's the whole trick, and it's a good one.
prep. place. peel.
prep - start with clean, dry skin. no actives underneath (the patch does that part).
place - center the patch over the spot. press for 5 seconds so the edges seal.
peel - 6-8 hours later, peel slowly from the edge.
the white dome is the receipt
The white you see is absorbed fluid trapped in the hydrocolloid gel - proof the patch spent the night absorbing instead of you picking. Its size isn't a scoreboard, just a sign the gel has been busy. the full fact-check is in the journal.
night vs day
vestela. night is thick, with 1% salicylic acid - built for overnight absorption through the 8-hour shift while you sleep.
vestela. day is cut ultra-thin with feathered edges - invisible from talking distance, fine under makeup, protects from picking all day.
