Some By Mi Micro Pin Spot Patch: Micro-needle Pimple Patches
Can you feel that small bump growing under the skin, painful and not yet visible? This is exactly the right time to use the Some By Mi Micro Pin Spot Patches. Their secret: tiny micro-needles that deliver the active ingredients right into the blemish.
What are the Some By Mi Micro Pin Spot Patches used for?
These are a special kind of pimple patch. Their surface is covered with dissolvable micro-needles, much thinner than a hair, loaded with active ingredients. Once the patch is applied, they dissolve into the upper layers of the skin and release their active ingredients exactly where the blemish is forming.
They contain salicylic acid to unclog pores, tea tree leaf water to purify, niacinamide to fade marks, and hyaluronic acid and the brand's Truecica™ (centella complex) to soothe. They help the blemish dry out and go down faster, even when it is still under the skin.
Key active ingredients
- Dissolvable micro-needles: deliver the active ingredients right into the blemish.
- Salicylic acid and tea tree water: purify and dry out the blemish.
- Niacinamide, centella, hyaluronic acid: soothe and reduce marks.
Who are they for?
They are made for:
- new blemishes still under the skin;
- deep, painful blemishes;
- acne-prone skin;
- those who want to stop touching their blemishes.
They are not suitable for blemishes that have already been popped or are open: for those, use a hydrocolloid patch like the Pyunkang Yul Super Thin.
When to use them?
At the first sign of a blemish, preferably in the evening, so they can work overnight. The sooner you use them, the more effective they are.
How to use them?
- Cleanse the area and dry it completely: no serum or cream underneath.
- Peel off a patch without touching the micro-needles.
- Apply it to the blemish and press firmly in the center for a few seconds.
- Leave it on for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Remove it gently and continue your routine.
Clow's tip: press firmly in the center of the patch after applying it: this is what allows the micro-needles to make contact with the skin and dissolve.
What to pair them with?
For a complete anti-blemish routine, pair them with the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 serum and the non-comedogenic Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream. For surface blemishes, also keep some Pyunkang Yul patches on hand.
Are the Some By Mi Micro Pin patches vegan?
Yes. These patches are listed as vegan and cruelty-free, with no animal-derived ingredients.
