Frequently Asked Questions

Do UV patches really work?
UV patches can be effective at indicating UV exposure. They change color to visually represent how much sun your skin has absorbed, helping you reapply sunscreen or seek shade.
What are the three types of patching?
In skincare, "patching" can refer to three things: spot treatment patches (like acne dots), allergy testing patches (applied by a doctor), or UV-detecting patches used to monitor sun exposure.
How much do patches typically cost?
The cost of patches varies. Acne patches are generally inexpensive, while allergy testing patches are covered by medical insurance. UV-detecting patches range in price depending on brand and quantity, but often cost between $1 and $5 per patch.
What are Korean sun patches?
Korean sun patches are typically hydrogel patches infused with sunscreen ingredients. They are designed to be applied to areas prone to sun exposure like the under-eye area, providing targeted protection and hydration.
