What CLERIVY Has Actually Tested

Vegan certification is in progress. We do not display the word or the mark until the product certificate is issued.

Acne treatment or prevention claims — our patches are cosmetic products.

In a one-week human use test, 23 women with clinically classified sensitive skin used the patch once daily. No adverse skin reactions were observed, and all 23 rated adhesion, hygiene, ease of use and overall feel "good" or "very good".*

In a separate one-week study, 22 people with visible blemishes used the patch once daily. The study's question was whether the patch would increase blemishes — it did not, and no adverse reactions were observed.*

*Human use tests, Cutis Biomedical Research Center (Seoul, Korea), August 2026 — reports CBRC-E-260610-52 (n=23; sensitive skin classified by lactic acid sting test) and CBRC-E-260610-53 (n=22). Self-assessed surveys after one week of once-daily use. Individual results vary.

It means the product was tested in a study conducted by Advanced Science Laboratories, Inc. The statement refers to the scope of that testing. It does not mean the product is recommended by dermatologists, and it does not mean the product treats acne or any medical condition.

Testing tells you how a finished product behaved in a study. A certification, like a vegan certificate, is issued by an outside organization against its own standard. We report the two separately so neither borrows credibility from the other.

We do not call our Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch or Microdart Spot Patch vegan, cruelty-free, non-comedogenic, or fragrance-free. Those words appear on a lot of patches. We have not run the testing that would let us print them, so we do not print them.

We do not publish consumer-test percentages. If you see "93% agreed" on a patch box, ask who the 93% were and what they were asked. We would rather show you the full ingredient list.

No. CLERIVY Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch and Microdart Spot Patch are cosmetic products. They are not intended to treat, prevent, or cure acne or any other medical condition.

CLERIVY Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch carries the on-pack statement "Suitable for Sensitive Skin." As with any skincare product, reactions can vary from person to person — if irritation occurs, stop using the product.

CLERIVY does not currently display a vegan claim. We will only add a vegan claim if and when a product-level certification is issued for the specific product. This page will be updated if that happens.

No cosmetic is "FDA approved" — the FDA does not approve cosmetic products before they are sold. CLERIVY Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch and Microdart Spot Patch are cosmetic products, and CLERIVY does not make drug claims for them.

CLERIVY is a brand of GUHADA Co., Ltd. (K-Glowing), a Korean company. All CLERIVY patches are made in Korea.

Yes. In a one-week human use test, 23 women with clinically classified sensitive skin used the patch once daily. No adverse skin reactions were observed. The patch also carries the on-pack statement "Suitable for Sensitive Skin."
