application tips

how often can i wear hydro-stars?

you can wear 100% hydrocolloid stars as often as you’d like! let your hydrocolloid pimple patches work their magic overnight, or any time for 6+ hours, and then remove your star or replace it with a new one.

plz limit use of salicylic acid starstea tree stars, and micro-cloud to 1-3x per week to keep skin happy through the healing process. 

what should i do if my hydro-stars aren’t sticking or working?

if your stars aren’t sticking: plz make sure you’re applying patches to clean, dry skin! in order to stick, your stars need a surface free of moisturizer, makeup, and other skincare products. 

if your stars aren’t working: everyone’s skin and spots are different, so finding your perf patch can take time. all hydro-stars are made with hydrocolloid, which helps absorb fluid, reduce redness, and visibly shrink spots. if you feel like you need something a lil more powerful, try patches with added ingredients like hydro-star + salicylic acid (for deep spots), hydro-star + tea tree (for oily spots), or micro-cloud (for early stage spots). 

can i wear makeup or moisturizer with my hydro-stars?

ofc! just apply hydro-stars before moisturizer, makeup, or any other steps in your routine to make sure they stick :)

    disclaimerlift off pore strips should only be used on your nose for blackheads, not pimples. avoid using on active acne breakouts or skin that’s swollen, suburned, excessively dry, prone to spider veins, or sensitive to bandages or peel-off face masks. if your skin is being treated with prescription acne medication, please consult with a physician before adding lift off to your routine. remove lift off as directed, promptly after it becomes stiff. if your lift off strips are difficult or painful to remove, wet the strip thoroughly until it slides off easily. forceful removal of lift off should be avoided and may cause skin abrasions. if this occurs, plz discontinue use and consult a physician.
