Mighty Patch Original User Manual

Instructions for Use

1. Prep the pimple: Identify the right type of zit — Mighty Patch works best on whiteheads. Cleanse the skin and let it dry. (If you have very dry skin, apply moisturizer and let it dry completely for up to 30 minutes).
2. Stick the patch on: Press lightly for 5 seconds to ensure the acne patch sticks securely, especially around the outer edges. Apply only to dry skin.
3. Take it off after 6+ hours: Let the patch work its magic for 6 hours or overnight (no more than 10 hours). Peel it off and moisturize the area.
4. Repeat if needed: Depending on the size and stage of the whitehead, you might need to use another patch to pull out more gunk. That’s normal! Grab a fresh Mighty Patch and repeat from step 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is hydrocolloid?

A: Hydrocolloid is a gelatin-type material that contains elements that aid wound healing. It keeps the wound exudate inside the dressing, helping the skin heal faster and preventing scars. Hydrocolloid patches work well on specific breakouts by absorbing the contents of the blemish and preventing marks or scars.

Q: Will this stick on oily skin?

A: It will stick on oily skin, but for best results, wash your skin first and then apply the patch. You can then apply moisturizers, makeup, etc. on top or around the patch, and it will stay put.

Q: Can I put these on a staph-infected whitehead?

A: You should not drain a staph-infected skin infection. If you have a staph-infected whitehead, do not attempt to treat it yourself or with at-home remedies. See a doctor to have it treated properly, as staph can cause serious health problems or complications if left untreated.

Q: Does this work on all types of acne?

A: Mighty Patch works best on acne with a head, such as whiteheads. It helps reduce inflammation and bring pus to the surface. However, it works best on acne that has been popped or "opened" in some way, as it can then completely absorb bacteria and oil, clearing the pimple faster than it would on its own.

Q: Are they all one size?

A: Yes, Mighty Patch Original comes in one size – 12 millimeters. If you need a larger patch, consider using multiple patches or looking for a different product that offers larger sizes.

Q: Has anyone tried these on inner pimples? Ones that don't have a "head" to pop them.

Q: This pulled out some darker gunk, more medium tan, I only see mentions and photos of white gunk... is this a concern?
