Q: What do Frownies Pimple Patches do?
A: Frownies Pimple Patches are hydrocolloid acne patches that help reduce the appearance of whiteheads and surface-level pimples. They absorb excess oil, pus, and debris while delivering gentle, plant-based ingredients like tea tree oil, frankincense, and salicylic acid to calm and support clearer skin—without irritation or dryness.
Q: Are Frownies Pimple Patches safe for sensitive skin?
A: Yes! Our patches are made with sensitive skin in mind. They’re free from artificial fragrances, harsh chemicals, and alcohol, and they include skin-soothing ingredients like frankincense and myrrh to calm inflammation and promote healing.
Q: How long should I wear a patch?
A: For best results, wear the patch for at least 6 hours or overnight. The patch may turn white as it absorbs fluid and impurities from the blemish.
Q: Can I use them under makeup?
A: We recommend wearing Frownies Pimple Patches on clean, bare skin. While they’re ultra-thin and discreet, they’re designed for healing—not as a makeup primer. Use them overnight or during the day when you don’t need full-face makeup.
Q: Can I use these on popped pimples?
A: Yes! In fact, our hydrocolloid patches are helpful for healing pimples that have already come to a head. They help protect the area from bacteria and picking, while supporting faster recovery.
Q: What kind of pimples do these work best for?
A: Frownies Pimple Patches are effective on whiteheads, surface-level blemishes, and early-stage breakouts. The salicylic acid can penetrate deeper to target cystic or under-the-skin bumps to help reduce inflammation and speed up healing.
Q: How often can I use them?
A: You can use our pimple patches daily as needed! Just be sure to apply to clean, dry skin and follow up with your Frownies skincare routine after removing the patch.
Q: Do Frownies Pimple Patches contain salicylic acid?
A: Yes! Each patch contains a low concentration of salicylic acid, a dermatologist-recommended beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that unclogs pores and helps prevent future breakouts—without drying or damaging the skin barrier.
Q: Are these patches vegan and cruelty-free?
A: Our Pimple Patches are a vegan hydrocolloid patches and all Frownies products are never tested on animals.
