If you haven’t already experienced an acne patch for yourself, think of it as an adhesive sticker that sits over a blemish and works to absorb toxins, take down inflammation and heal the area. Starface's Hydro Stars – Bieber’s go-to – are made with hydrocolloid, an ingredient used in surgical dressing that helps absorb bacteria and fluid.

As well as helping spot treat (no pun intended) a specific area on the face, acne patches prevent the picking or squeezing of spots, a (common) habit that can lead to scarring and pigmentation in the area. Whack a star on it and you’ll be hard pushed to touch and infect the spot further.

As well as Starface’s acne patch offering, look to brand’s like Squish, whose Flow Power Acne Patches are equally as fun, or Zitsticka's Killa Patches, which catch spots in their early phases.
