How it works
The Triple Acid Spot Care Microdart Patch is a 12ea patch, used apply a patch from it to clean, dry skin at the end of the evening routine. The active it is built around is Succinic Acid, named third on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Madecassoside, Gluconolactone and Lactic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Succinic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the patch format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the patch Anua sells in Korea, Succinic Acid and all.

Key actives
Succinic Acidactive
Succinic Acid is a small organic acid used for the look of blemish-prone skin and as a pH adjuster. It is far milder than an AHA at the levels used here. On this patch's own ingredient list it is named third.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. It is named ninth on this patch's list, alongside Succinic Acid.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named fifth on this patch's list, alongside Succinic Acid.
Lactic Acidexfoliant
Lactic Acid is a larger AHA than glycolic, so it works nearer the surface and is easier on skin, and it is a humectant as well as an exfoliant. It is the AHA of choice for dry skin. The panel names it seventh on this patch's list, beside Succinic Acid.
Glycolic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the bonds between dead surface cells and is used for the look of dullness and rough texture. The panel names it eighth on this patch's list, beside Succinic Acid.
Where does this patch go in my routine?
Apply a patch from it to clean, dry skin at the end of the evening routine. Toner goes on before it, and the rest of the routine goes on after you take the patch off. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Succinic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market patch or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Succinic Acid and all. We match this patch to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Succinic Acid?
Madecassoside, Gluconolactone and Lactic Acid. The order they are printed in on this patch's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Succinic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Sodium Salicylate.

How to use
- Cleanse and let the skin dry completely, since a patch will not stick to a damp or freshly moisturised surface.
- Press one patch onto the blemish and hold it for ten seconds so the edges make contact.
- Leave it on for several hours or overnight, then peel it off gently and continue with your usual routine.
- Do not put a patch on broken or freshly squeezed skin, and never reuse one.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this patch on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Succinic Acid on the list.
- Gluconolactone and Glycolic Acid on this list makes this patch an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
