For most people, a pimple begins as a small red bump and evolves into an inflamed pustule, and finally ends with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or even scarring. Each stage has different needs. Traditional acne patches often offer a one-size-fits-all solution, but the skin deserves smarter care. That’s where RIBESKIN’s SOS Spot Patch stands out, offering a dual-patch system that adapts to the life cycle of a breakout.
Two Patches, Two Purposes
Unlike conventional acne patches that provide a single type of care, RIBESKIN’s SOS Spot Patch includes two targeted patch types:
1. Plasta (Before) Patch – For early-stage, inflamed acne
2. Hydrocolloid (After) Patch – For healing-stage acne and scar prevention This division reflects an understanding of the skin’s evolving needs during the acne cycle.
1. Plasta (Before) Patch – Prevent Escalation
The Before Patch is designed to be applied at the first sign of a breakout, when the blemish is red, swollen, or painful but has not yet formed a head. This patch contains Salicylic Acid and calming ingredients such as Tea Tree Leaf Oil.
- Oil-soluble Salicylic Acid exfoliates the pore lining, unclogging blocked sebum
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil’s anti-inflammatory properties suppress acne bacteria and soothe irritation
Together, these ingredients help prevent the blemish from worsening, while the patch physically protects the area from bacteria, dirt, and scratching.
2. Hydrocolloid (After) Patch – Support Recovery
Once the breakout has come to a head or been extracted, the After Patch becomes the hero. This is a hydrocolloid patch, a type of wound dressing commonly used in clinical care, which helps draw out impurities, absorb exudate, and maintain a moist environment for faster healing.
Key benefits of the After Patch:
- Accelerates wound healing
- Minimizes scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Acts as a protective barrier against external contaminants
This stage is critical because improper aftercare is a leading cause of acne scars, which are often much harder to treat than the pimples themselves.
Smarter Healing after Dermatological Treatments
The Hydrocolloid (After) Patch is ideal for use after a wide range of dermatological procedures that leave the skin vulnerable or healing. It can be applied after acne extractions, chemical peels, microneedling, fractional lasers, cryotherapy, and cauterization treatments, where localized wound care is necessary. By creating a moist healing environment, it helps protect opened lesions, minimizes the risk of secondary infections, and promotes faster recovery—making it a trusted post-treatment solution in clinical acne care.
Whether used at home or as part of a clinic’s post-procedure care protocol, the SOS Spot Patch offers a professional-level solution in a consumer-friendly form. Breakouts may be inevitable, but how we treat them is now smarter, simpler, and more skin-conscious than ever.
Designed for Daily Use and All Skin Types
Each patch is ultra-thin, transparent, and comes in three sizes, making it easy to blend with the skin and suitable for use under makeup. The hypoallergenic adhesive and skin-friendly materials make it safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Additionally, the dual-step system means that users are not left guessing which patch to use. The clearly labeled Before and After Packs ensure clarity and convenience—ideal for both home users and dermatology clinics offering post-treatment care.
RIBESKIN SOS Spot Patch is part of RIBESKIN’s 365ProCare range, designed for continuous use at both clinic and home, supporting and protecting the skin for 365 days.
