Patches – Effective Skincare Inspired by Nature

At Australian Bodycare, we have developed a series of patches inspired by nature, containing carefully selected active ingredients to target specific skin concerns. Our patches are designed for targeted care, allowing you to achieve visible results in a simple and convenient way—whether you need a quick solution for a pimple, dark circles under your eyes, or extra hydration for your skin.

What Are Cosmetic Patches?

Cosmetic patches are small, skin-friendly adhesive strips designed to treat specific skin concerns. They act as a protective barrier while slowly releasing active ingredients to maximize their effect. Patches offer an effective way to target problem areas, ensuring controlled absorption of nutrients and active ingredients without product evaporation or smudging.

Benefits of Using Patches

Patches offer several benefits that make them a popular choice for many. They are easy to use and can be worn day or night, making them practical for a busy lifestyle. Here are some of the key advantages of patches:

• Accelerated healing – Patches speed up the healing process by drawing out impurities from the skin.
• Discreet and invisible – Most patches are transparent and barely visible on the skin, allowing you to use them unnoticed.
• Protective barrier – They create a shield that protects the skin from bacteria and further irritation.
• Prevents scarring – By preventing picking at blemishes, patches help reduce the risk of scarring and dark spots.
• Targeted treatment – Unlike traditional face masks, patches focus on specific areas in need of care.
• Intensive care – The ingredients stay in contact with the skin for longer, allowing for deep absorption and optimal results.

Which Ingredients Can Cosmetic Patches Contain?

Patches can be infused with a variety of powerful ingredients depending on their purpose:

• Vitamin B12 – Supports the skin’s natural regeneration and soothes irritation.
• Salicylic Acid – Exfoliates the skin and fights impurities.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply hydrates the skin and reduces dryness.
