HATHERINE 스팟케어 패치 [붉은스팟]

What is this product?

A 10mm matte film spot patch from the Korean brand HATHERINE, for the stage before a spot opens. Sixteen printed ingredients and no water: three film forming and adhesive polymers, then tea tree leaf oil at 4, salicylic acid at 6, a solubiliser, willow herb and grape seed extracts, volcanic ash, an antioxidant salt, phytosphingosine and sodium hyaluronate, closing with limonene and linalool declared as allergens of the tea tree oil. No fragrance entry, no alcohol, no disclosed level for anything, and the Korean statutory block files no functional cosmetic claim. The brand sells this patch inside two patch kits rather than on its own, and pairs it there with a hydrocolloid patch meant for the stage after a spot opens. Suits an oily or blemish prone user who wants one spot covered and treated for eight to twelve hours; reactive skin should weigh the essential oil and the allergen pair, and the label keeps it off the eye area and off children under three.

What makes it different?

The composition is an adhesive film rather than a hydrocolloid pad, which is what separates this patch from the one sold beside it in the same kit: the brand assigns the film to the stage before a spot opens and the hydrocolloid to the stage after. Tea tree leaf oil sits at position 4 of 16, ahead of the acid, with its two allergen constituents declared at the end of the same list.
