cica inflused

Our cica-infused microdart pimple patches are designed to tackle stubborn breakouts before they surface.

Unlike standard hydrocolloid patches that sit on top of the skin, the fast-acting micro-dart technology physically penetrates deep into the skin to deliver actives directly to the source, targeting pimples that haven't even emerged yet.

Benefits

  • Micro-dart technology penetrates deep to target blind and early-stage pimples
  • Improves the appearance of blemishes
  • Visibly reduces redness and soothes irritated skin
  • Helps minimise the likelihood of post-breakout scarring
  • Formulated with Cica for added skin-calming benefits

How to use

Cleanse your face and make sure your skin is completely dry. Skip any extra skincare steps for now. Apply your microdart pimple patch dart side down directly onto your blemish and leave on for 6 hours for best results. Can be used daily. 

Here's our suggested line up for the ultimate results: cleanser, dry your face, microdart pimple patch on. Try to space out the rest of your routine to allow the microdart patches to sink in. Then finish with your toner, serum and moisturiser. Ps. Don't forget your SPF in the AM!

Who’s it for

Suitable for all skin types, but made for anyone who's ever felt a pimple brewing under the skin and spent the next three days poking at it hoping it would just go away. Spoiler: it won't. But these will help.

    Didn't seem to do much

    I was curious to try but think the tbh spot treatment works better for blind pimples, it didn't do much to an established big cyst. Might try again for a new one but applying heat to increase circulation and then tbh spot treatment does the trick for me.

    Good for stubborn spots

    Good for stubborn spots or the start of a blind pimple. I use them sparingly since there isn’t many in a packet. I like the zip lock closure on the top!

    THE must have for cystic blemishes

    These patches have (almost) single handedly made cystic blemishes manageable. Having adult acne and blemishes is painful and a real knock to your confidence sometimes - but these patches have alleviated so much of the pain when I use them on cystic blemishes overnight/during the day. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone!!

Check out our most commonly asked questions! If you can't find the answer you are looking for, just hit up one of our friendly customer care team members! They love a chat.

How do our microdart pimple patches work?

Unlike a regular pimple patch that sits on the surface, our microdart pimple patches, as the name suggests, uses micro darts to penetrate deep into blind pimples to deliver active ingredients directly to the source of inflammation. Think of it as your skin control pimple patch that works from the inside out, speeding up recovery and reducing redness while you sleep.

Are microdart patches safe for pregnant women?

Yes, The Breakout Hack products are baby bump friendly! You can find our ingredients list under the 'Ingredients' section on each product page. If you are concerned about any specific ingredients, please consult your healthcare professional before use.

Are the microdart pimple patches vegan and cruelty free?

YES, absolutely! We love our floofy friends… so all our products are NOT and NEVER tested on animals and are vegan and cruelty-free through and through.

Where do the microdart patches sit in my routine?

The best time to apply your dart pimple patch is just before bed, but you can wear them any time you feel a blemish coming on. We especially recommend reaching for your microdart patches when you catch yourself picking at your skin.
