How it works
The Ultra Thin Spot Cover Patch is a 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 Madecassoside, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Ceramide NP, Cholesterol and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Madecassoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the patch format rather than by the list alone. Anua sells this Madecassoside patch in Korea, and this is that version.

Key actives
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. On this patch's own ingredient list it is named thirteenth.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is named eleventh on this patch's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. It is named twelfth on this patch's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Aloe Leaf Extract is mostly water with polysaccharides, amino acids and mild plant acids. It hydrates and leaves a light, cooling film, which is why it is the default after-sun ingredient. The panel names it ninth on this patch's list, beside Madecassoside.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it tenth on this patch's list, beside Madecassoside.

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 Madecassoside and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Madecassoside?
Ceramide NP, Cholesterol and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this patch's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Madecassoside sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Centella Asiatica Extract.

How to use
- Apply a patch from the Ultra Thin Spot Cover Patch to clean, dry skin at the end of the evening routine.
- Press it down from the middle outward until the edges sit flat, and leave it in place for at least six hours or overnight.
- Nothing goes over it, and it holds best on bare skin, so put it on after your last leave-on layer has fully absorbed.
- One patch per site per session. Do not press a fresh patch onto damp skin or over a cream; it will lift within the hour.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this patch on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Madecassoside on the list.
- Introduce this patch on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Madecassoside rather than to three changes at once.
