The pimple patch, upgraded by dermatologists. CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches are the first and only hydrocolloid blemish patches with three essential ceramides plus niacinamide — so they go beyond simply absorbing oil and gunk to soothe skin and protect the delicate skin barrier at the same time. Each ultra-thin patch immediately reduces the appearance of blemishes on application and begins absorbing oil in as little as three hours, while its seamless, tapered edges are nearly invisible on all skin tones for discreet wear day or night.
By covering the spot, the patch also helps stop you picking — reducing the risk of post-blemish marks. The gentle formula is suitable for sensitive skin, allergy-tested, fragrance-free and paraben-free. In consumer testing, 95% agreed that no marks were left behind after removal, and 96% agreed the patch felt gentle on skin. Available in two sizes (10 mm and 12 mm) to suit blemishes big and small, with 22 patches per pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a blemish patch and how does it work?
A blemish patch is a small sticker that covers a spot. It contains hydrocolloid — a gel-forming material that absorbs oil and fluid from the blemish while shielding it from touching and picking. CeraVe Blemish Barrier Patches also contain three essential ceramides and niacinamide to soothe skin and support the barrier, with visible results in as little as 3 hours.
How long should I leave a patch on?
Leave it on for at least 6 hours or overnight. Use each patch only once, then dispose of it and apply a fresh one if needed.
Will it leave a mark on my skin?
The patches are designed not to. In consumer testing, 95% agreed no marks were left behind after removal, and by helping prevent picking, they reduce the risk of post-blemish marks.
Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. They’re suitable for sensitive skin, allergy-tested, fragrance-free and paraben-free, with 96% of users agreeing the patch feels gentle on skin.
Will they be visible during the day?
They’re ultra-thin with seamless tapered edges and are nearly invisible on all skin tones, so you can wear them discreetly day or night. 94% agreed they look and feel discreet on skin.
What size patches are included?
Each pack contains 22 patches in two sizes — 10 mm and 12 mm — to cover blemishes big and small.
Can I use them on active, weeping spots?
Yes — hydrocolloid patches are especially effective on blemishes that have come to a head, drawing out fluid while protecting the area. Apply to clean, dry skin for best adhesion.
