Originally used in pharmaceutical applications patches for personal
care represent a relatively new concept. Designed as one or multi-layer
adhesive matrix systems the key focus is the increased penetration
of actives in the skin. The adhesive matrix is a variable system
that allows incorporation of a large variety of actives, e.g.: plant
extracts, AHAs, vitamins, essential oils, salicylic acid, kojic
acid, arbutin...
Skin care patches should be used as additional products to the
conventional skin-care routine.
There are many key advantages of this advanced delivery system
in cosmetic applications, including:
- Controlled release
- More effective active delivery
- Improved efficacy/decrease in loss of actives
- Improved penetration
- Stabilization of actives
Used weekly long term effects are also possible.
The applications include acne treatment, anti-ageing, skin whitening,
cellulite treatment, etc.
