JAKARTA - Almost everyone has a Acne face. In fact, acne affects more than 50 million Americans, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA). Even though the small, annoying lump is normal, the bump can hurt, it's annoying, and embarrassing. Pimple patches or acne plasters will not get rid of acne in full, but can help overcome them.

"Pimple patches are small stickers made of soothing gels called hydrocoloids," says Dr. Bradley Glodny, a certified dermatologist and owner of Park Avenue Dermatology in New York City.

"Because this hydrocoloid gel sticks to the skin, this content absorbs excess oil and dirt from acne," said Dr. Hadley King, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, as reported by NBC News, Friday, August 1.

"Even though it sticks to the skin, the patch Simple also has additional benefits, namely preventing squeezing or trying to squeezing acne," said King. This is important because squeezing acne can increase inflammation, prolong healing time, and increase the risk of infection, changes in skin tone, and scar tissue.

To help determine the best patch implementation for the skin, dermatologists recommend things to pay attention to when buying these beauty products.

To choose the best patch Simple, there are several key factors that need to be prioritized. Here are the advice of a dermatologist:

Ingredients: The hydrocoloid gel patch Simple is great for dealing with flexis. However, if you have more specific skin needs, you may need to pay more attention to the patch content, says Dr. Orit Markowitz, board-certified dermatologist and OptiSkin Medical founder at New York City.

Consider a patch with salicylic acid content or tea tree oil if you have difficulty overcoming stubborn acne. Or, if you have a deep characteristic acne, Glodny recommends a patch with micro dots (also called micro arrows), which gently penetrates the skin to send content down the skin's surface.

Size: Simple patches are available in various shapes and sizes, the same as acne. A larger patch is best suited for acne sets, while a small circle is suitable for one acne.
