There’s a new way to tackle acne that doesn’t involve antibiotics or chemical dressings.
Instead, you use a hydrocolloid dressing that is a simple fabric made from plant fibers that go over your pimples.
They dry out the pimple but don’t dry out the skin around it and while you’re wearing it – you won’t pick at the spots.
That means fewer pimples, fewer scars and the pimples you do get heal faster than ever before!
So, check out our 10 best natural acne patches for pimples and acne scars and your body will love you for it.
Best Natural Acne Patches
Hero Cosmetics Micropoint Patches
The Mircopoint patches have tiny little points which penetrate the spot (but without causing any pian) this speeds up the drying process.
The Hero Cosmetics patches also come loaded with other natural ingredients to aid the healing process.
You can find the Hero Cosmetics Micropoint Patches on their website.
Peace Out Acne Healing Dots
These were one of the first natural acne treatments to hit the market and they blend the hydrocolloid standard of similar patches with a bunch of anti-bacterial and healthy cell promotion natural ingredients.
They are super kind to the skin.
You can find the Peace Out Acne Healing Dots on the Sephora website.
Dr. Jart + Focuspot Blemish Micro Tip Patch
Another microneedle patch, and again we’d encourage you to remember that this doesn’t hurt, that will quickly draw out the grease and gunk from the pimple without allowing it to become infected or spread.
We like the use of Vitamin B3 too which is meant to stop the skin from becoming discolored after treatment.
You can find the Dr. Jart + Focuspot Blemish Micro Tip Patch on the Sephora website.
Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Surface
Sometimes the microneedles aren’t going to cut it, they’re designed for a single pimple but what happens if you have a larger outbreak?
Well, then you need a surface patch that covers a much larger area and can be easily tailored to fit the curvature of the skin no matter where the outbreak is. These are those patches!
You can find the Mighty Patch Surface on Hero Cosmetics website.
Peach Slices Acne Patch
If you want something from the K-beauty lineup then this is the way to go.
Peach & Lilly’s patches come in a wide variety of sizes which can be used in almost any circumstance. They’re also very cost-effetive.
You can find the Peach Slices Acne Patch on their website.
Skyn Iceland Blemish Dots
Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories take center stage in these super-effective (but quite pricey) acne treatment dots.
They say that they even put back nutrients into the skin which have been lost when you are stressed.
You can find the Skyn Iceland Blemish Dots on the Skyn Iceland website.
Rael Microneedle Technology Acne Healing Patches
The “secret” ingredient here is tea tree oil which is well known for making people’s skin feel better and for fighting bacterial infections.
They feel super tingly on the skin too which we feel means that they’re clearly doing something.
You can find the Rael Microneedle Technology Acne Healing Patches on the Iherb.com website.
Alba Botanica Acne Pimple Patch
You’ll never end up with an ugly, dry scab on your face when you use these Alba Botanica patches and while they don’t have quite the range of ingredients as some of the other patches, they are very low cost and easy to find.
You can find the Alba Botanica Acne Pimple Patch at Target’s website.
Starface Hydro Stars
We love the playful packaging, and you can put these on at any time of the day.
The star designs do call attention to the patches but we feel that they do so in a way that makes them fun and hip rather than screaming “I HAVE ACNE!” which would definitely be a bad thing.
You can find the Starface Hydro Stars at the Starface website.
Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch
These are a plain and simple hydrocolloid dressing.
There’s no fancy stuff, no special ingredients but we’ve found that worn overnight, they do as good a job as any patch does.
They’re very much worth trying out.
You can find the Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch on the Soko Glam website.
Last Word on Natural Acne Patches
If you want to deal with pimples permanently it can also be good to use makeup that’s kind to your skin (check out our picks for the best cruelty free makeup brands for ideas).
Also, make sure that you’re not getting oil build up during your sleep by using a wicking pillow (check our picks for some great organic pillows for some ideas on this) too.
Then with the help of these natural pimple removers, you should be good to go!
