SKINFOOD SKINFOOD Cica Clear Spot Patch

What is this product?

A hydrocolloid-style spot patch with a short seven-ingredient list that adds salicylic acid, calcium pantothenate and madecassoside to the patch base, suiting blemish care with minimal exposure to fragrance or essential oils.

What makes it different?

The formula is unusually short at seven items, with the patch polymers styrene/isoprene copolymer and hydrogenated poly(C6-20 olefin) at the top and cellulose gum as the gelling agent. Salicylic acid sits fifth, calcium pantothenate sixth and madecassoside seventh, so the actives are positioned in the later half of the list. No fragrance, essential oils, ferments or drying alcohols appear in the list, which keeps the patch simple for reactive skin. Concentrations of the three actives are not given.
