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).

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.
