After cleansing, dry the area around the acne or blemish and apply an acne patch large enough to completely cover the spot. Press and hold the patch for 5 seconds to secure adherence. The patch goes on clear. When the patch becomes white, or after 12 hours, remove the patch and cleanse the area before applying a new patch. Discard used patch.
It is recommended to apply the acne patch onto clean and dry skin. Prior application of skincare or makeup products in the area may affect adherence of the acne patch.
The products you receive may routinely have the lot/batch number, manufacturing date, and/or expiration date printed on it.
The product labels may vary depending on the country of origin. This is generally what we see:
- Korean products usually print both the lot number and the expiration date.
- Japanese products usually print the lot number only. If a date is printed, it would typically be the manufacturing date.
- Taiwanese products usually print both the lot number and the manufacturing date.
This is a generalization only (there are exceptions). Not all manufacturers follow the same format.
Here is a quick translation/guide to reading the dates:
MFG = Manufactured date
EXP = Expiration date
製造日期 = Manufactured date
製造日 = Manufacturing date
出廠日期 = Manufacturing date
有效日期 = Expiration date
標示於瓶身 (西元年/月/日) = Marked on the bottle (year/month/date)
批號 = Batch number
保存期限: 3年 = Shelf Life is 3 Years
保存期限: 5年 = Shelf Life is 5 Years
