Stress-Free Spot Support

We get it—breakouts are the worst. But over-drying treatments and harsh scrubs? Not on our watch. Frownies Pimple Patches are your gentle, plant-powered go-to for covering spots.

Each patch is made of clear hydrocolloid and infused with salicylic acid plus a calming blend of tea tree, frankincense, and myrrh. They go on easy, stay put, and help you wake up feeling like your skin actually has your back.

How to apply for best results

1. Cleanse area thoroughly and pat dry. Do not apply serums or moisturizers to the area.
2. Peel and stick the patch directly to the blemish with clean hands or tweezers for precise application.
3. Leave patch in place for 6+ hours or overnight. You may notice the patch become white as it's doing its thing!
4. Gently remove the pimple patch with clean hands and discard. Continue with your favorite skincare routine.

Use daily as needed on surface-level spots.

You ask and we answer FAQ'S

Q: What do Frownies Pimple Patches do?

A: These little patches? Total game changers. Made with a vegan hydrocolloid polymer and a few plant-based favorites like tea tree, frankincense, and salicylic acid. Just stick one on and go about your day—no mess, no drama.

Q: Are Frownies Pimple Patches safe for sensitive skin?

A: We get it—sensitive skin needs extra love. These patches are made with that in mind: no artificial fragrance, no harsh chemicals, no alcohol. Just simple ingredients that vibe well with most skin types.

Q: How long should I wear a patch?

A: Most people wear their patch for at least 6 hours or overnight. You might notice it turns white—that’s just the hydrocolloid doing its thing.

Q: Can I use them under makeup?

A: We recommend wearing Frownies Pimple Patches on clean, bare skin. While they’re ultra-thin and discreet most people prefer to use them overnight or during the day when you don’t need full-face makeup.

Q: Can I use these on popped pimples?

A: Many people choose to use a patch after a blemish has surfaced. It can help keep the area covered and discourage touching—plus, it’s always satisfying to see how much the patch absorbs.

Q: What kind of pimples do these work best for?

A: Customers often use our pimple patches on whiteheads, surface-level spots, and even those deeper, hard-to-reach bumps. While they’re not designed to treat cystic acne, they can help cover and protect the area. For persistent concerns, check in with your skincare professional to find what works best for you.

Q: How often can I use them?

A: You can use our pimple patches daily as needed! Just be sure to apply to clean, dry skin and follow up with your Frownies skincare routine after removing the patch.

Q: Do Frownies Pimple Patches contain salicylic acid?

A: Yep! Each patch contains a low concentration of salicylic acid—a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that’s a longtime fave in the skincare world. We chose this ingredient to complement the hydrocolloid and help keep things simple and gentle.

Q: Are these patches vegan and cruelty-free?

A: Our Pimple Patches are made with vegan-friendly ingredients, and like all Frownies products, they’re never tested on animals.

TESTIMONIALS

“I was honestly shocked by how well these worked—overnight. 😳”

I put one of the new Frownies Pimple Patches on a big, red breakout before bed, and by the next morning it was visibly flatter, way less red, and just… calm. You can actually see how much it pulled out in the patch too (gross but satisfying lol). I love that it didn’t dry out the area or leave a mark—and it didn’t budge while I slept.

I’ve tried a lot of pimple patches and this one’s officially in my top drawer now. Super gentle, barely noticeable on the skin, and actually effective. 10/10.

Why Frownies Pimple Patches

At Frownies, we believe skincare should be gentle, effective, and aligned with your skin’s natural rhythm. Our pimple patches are free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh drying agents—making them ideal for those looking for gentler options in skincare.

Whether you're looking for overnight blemish patches, daytime breakout coverage, or a gentle spot care option that blends into your daily routine, Frownies Pimple Patches are a low-key must for your top shelf.

Botanicals for Blemishes

Frownies Pimple Patches combine a trio of vegan-friendly ingredients that support skin clarity—without harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances.

Here’s what's in our essential oil blend:

  • Tea Tree Oil: Commonly used in clarifying skincare routines
  • Frankincense Oil: Supports the appearance of balanced, clearer-looking skin
  • Myrrh Oil: Helps skin feel nourished and cared for

The Skincare Routine We Swear By

Here’s how we recommend using our Pimple Patches alongside a few Frownies favorites:

  1. Cleanse: Start with Frownies pH Balancing Face Wash to gently remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
  2. Patch: Apply a Pimple Patch directly to clean, dry skin and leave on for 6–8 hours (or overnight).
  3. Tone: After removing, mist with Calming Toner to help skin feel balanced and refreshed.
  4. Hydrate: Follow up with Skin Serum or a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain hydration.
  5. Mask (2–3x/week): Use the Blue-Green Algae Clay Mask to help absorb excess oil and keep skin feeling clear and smooth.

This gentle, supportive routine is designed with blemish-prone skin in mind—and proves you don’t need harsh ingredients to see visible results.

Powerful patches!

These little pimple patches are amazing and something I honestly didn’t know I needed until I bought them. I break out around when I get my cycle, and I thought I would give the a try. I popped a couple on my pimples and went to sleep, took them off the next day around the afternoon and I was shocked at how much my pimples shrunk!! They went away so much faster with the help of these powerful patches!

Under skin acne that last up to years

I used this on these 2 sposts that I have had under skin acne for about 5 years, and they never go away. With one use I was able to shrink them considerably. I can tell that I will finally be rid of these pesky beasts.
