After cleansing, dry the area around the acne/blemish. Carefully apply to completely cover the acne spot. Press firmly onto the patch to secure it in place. The patch goes on clear. When the patch becomes white, remove the patch and cleanse the area before applying a new patch. Discard used 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
