Split by count | 30 count: 15 and 15 / 72 count: 36 and 36 / 96 count: 48 and 48 |
Product | CLERIVY Hydrocolloid Pimple Patch — translucent hydrocolloid, water-resistant barrier |
Wear time | 4–8 hours, or until the patch turns opaque |
Size rule | The patch should cover the whole blemish with a small margin |
Why Two Sizes?
Blemishes vary in size, so it helps to have a choice. A patch should cover the whole spot and lie flat against the surrounding skin. If the smaller patch leaves part of the blemish uncovered, reach for the larger size.
What Comes in Each Pack?
Every pack has an equal split of 10 mm and 12 mm patches:
Pack | 10 mm | 12 mm | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
30 count | 15 | 15 | 30 |
72 count | 36 | 36 | 72 |
96 count | 48 | 48 | 96 |

How to Choose Your Size
Place the patch so the translucent hydrocolloid covers the entire blemish, with a small margin around it. If the spot falls between the two sizes, choose 12 mm for fuller coverage.
The 10 mm size can be convenient around the nose or chin, while 12 mm offers more coverage on the cheeks or forehead. Let the size of the blemish guide your choice wherever it appears.
When Another Size Will Not Help
The spot is too wide. A blemish wider than 12 mm cannot be fully covered by one patch from this pack.
The skin is wounded or damaged. Do not use a patch on open, wounded, or damaged skin, regardless of its size.
The bump has not surfaced. The Microdart Spot Patch is designed for an early bump you can feel. It has a different format and comes in one 13.5 mm size.
Which Pack Should I Choose?
A 30-patch pack is a simple starting point if you are new to the format. The 72- and 96-patch packs keep more on hand for regular use. All three include both sizes.
Apply to clean, completely dry, healthy, intact skin. Leave on for 4–8 hours, or until the patch turns opaque.
