Which CLERIVY Patch Fits Each Spot Stage?

If you are comparing Korean pimple patches, start with the stage of the spot and the product classification. Choose the cosmetic Microdart Spot Patch for an early bump you can feel before it surfaces. Choose the cosmetic Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch for a surfaced spot on healthy, intact skin that you want to cover. The Microdart Acne Patch is a separate OTC drug for acne with its own Drug Facts label and is scheduled for October 2026.

Product Classification

CLERIVY separates each patch by spot stage and product classification. The cosmetic Microdart Spot Patch is for an early bump, while the cosmetic Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch is for a surfaced spot on healthy, intact skin. The Microdart Acne Patch is a separate OTC monograph drug with its own Drug Facts labeling. FDA listing does not constitute FDA approval or endorsement of the product.

Product-Specific Testing & Evidence

The Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch and Microdart Spot Patch each have two one-week use studies and a separate 24-hour primary skin irritation patch test. The two one-week Microdart Spot Patch studies evaluated the complete Blemish Clearing Pad and patch routine. The 24-hour tests evaluated each patch separately. These six studies do not apply to the Microdart Acne Patch.

Suitable for Sensitive Skin

CUTIS Biomedical Research Center conducted a one-week sensitive-skin human use study with 23 participants (CBRC-E-260610-52). No assessed adverse skin reactions were observed.
