How it works
This blemish patch opens its ingredient list with Polyisobutene, ahead of the rest of the formula, which is the clearest sign of what it is built around. Cellulose gum follows further down the list, part of the supporting cast rather than the headline. Hydrogenated Styrene/Methylstyrene/Indene copolymer follows further down the list, part of the supporting cast rather than the headline. That order is why SKIN1004 positions TEA-TRICA SPOT COVER PATCH 22patch x3ea as a blemish patch rather than a general moisturizer or cleanser: the concentration and format are built for the spot step, not for every step in a routine. It belongs in the spot step, pressed onto a clean, dry blemish and left in place for several hours or overnight.
Key benefits
- Size: 3ea, the Korean-market fill SKIN1004 sells inside Korea for this product.
- Led by Polyisobutene: it sits at the top of this product's own ingredient list, the clearest read of what the formula is built around.
- Format: blemish patch, dosed and textured for the spot step rather than a general-purpose step.
- Routine slot: pressed onto a clean, dry blemish and left in place for several hours or overnight.
- Sourcing: shipped with the Korean-market barcode and batch code intact.
- Also on the list: Cellulose gum, one of the supporting ingredients behind the rest of the formula's texture and feel.
Key actives
Polyisobutene
Polyisobutene is the tacky adhesive base that lets a hydrocolloid patch grip and stay in place over a blemish for hours at a time.
Cellulose gum
Cellulose gum is the thickener that gives the formula its body, controlling how the texture pours, spreads, and sits on the skin before it absorbs.
Hydrogenated Styrene/Methylstyrene/Indene copolymer
Hydrogenated Styrene/Methylstyrene/Indene copolymer is part of the adhesive matrix that keeps a hydrocolloid patch sealed to the skin while it draws fluid from a blemish underneath it.
Pectin
Pectin is a plant-derived gelling agent that helps hold the patch's absorbent layer together as it works over several hours.
Is the TEA-TRICA SPOT COVER PATCH 22patch x3ea sold here the Korean-market formula, not a US reformulation?
Yes. This listing is the release SKIN1004 sells for use inside Korea, the same formula Korean shoppers buy off the shelf there. A product with the same name can carry a different ingredient list or a different size in an export version, and we source and list only the Korean one, with that market's barcode and batch code intact on the unit that ships to you.
What is Polyisobutene doing in this formula?
Polyisobutene is the first ingredient of real substance on this product's own ingredient list, which puts it at the front of what the formula is built around rather than a trace addition. The rest of the list supports the texture and feel around it, in the concentration order the manufacturer itself declares.
Where does the TEA-TRICA SPOT COVER PATCH 22patch x3ea sit in a routine?
It occupies the spot step. Pressed onto a clean, dry blemish and left in place for several hours or overnight. Build a routine around the step you are replacing rather than the brand you recognize, since a handful of well-chosen steps tells you more about your skin than a shelf of unrelated products.
What size does the TEA-TRICA SPOT COVER PATCH 22patch x3ea ship in?
It ships at 3ea, the size SKIN1004 sells this product at inside Korea. We do not substitute an export format or a US-only size for the Korean one, so what you receive matches what a shopper buys for it in Seoul.
