Beauty patches might deliver fast, focused results.
If you’re looking for skincare solutions targeted to a specific concern, beauty patches could be the way to go. Designed to deliver results quickly, transdermal patches have become a favorite tool in beauty and self-care routines, and a recent study by BCC Research predicts that the global market will hit $8.8 billion by 2027. From blemish-busters to products designed to smooth wrinkles in just a few hours, here are some patches to boost your beauty routine.
Blumbody Chest & Neck Wrinkles Pads ($40.99 for a 30-day supply)
The neck and chest area can be the first to show early signs of aging, thanks to fewer oil glands and thinner skin. To combat lines and wrinkles—especially for side-sleepers— these clever silicone pads for chest and neck should be worn overnight to repair while you sleep. The reusable pads are designed to boost skin’s moisture, reduce the look of “crepe-y” skin and smooth horizontal neck lines caused by sun exposure and the looking down at tech devices.

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Expression Line Hydra-Gel Patches ($65 for 60)
The market has tons of eye gels designed to sit right below the eye. Part of what makes this product unique is that it comes with under-eye patches and patches shaped for use between the brows and on top of the nose to smooth those pesky “scrunch” lines. The gel patches are infused with a 2% solution of the brand’s proprietary Uplevity, a clinically engineered peptide proven to reduce wrinkles, as well as brightening niacinamide and hyaluronic acid and squalane, both included for their moisture-plumping properties.

Fazit Nose Pore Patch ($15.99 for 10)
If you struggle with congested pores on your nose, these patches offer a gentler solution versus the stick-and-rip strips that gained popularity in the late 1990s. Instead, this iteration contains a proprietary blend of ingredients to absorb oil and sebum (an oily, waxy substance that can clog pores) while you sleep. Just apply the patch to your nose, snooze for eight hours or so and remove in the morning to reveal smooth skin.
