Description
Combined technologies of microneedling and evidence-based ingredients to provide improved results in managing hyperpigmentation, particularly age spots (solar lentigines).
Each patch contains 2,000 dissolving micro needles made of hyaluronic acid. And the tip of each needle contains: 4-n-butylresorcinol (4NB 0.3%), Retinal (Vitamin A 0.1%), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 4%), Green Tea Extract, Resveratrol and Ferulic acid.
While Complexion Correction patches will have a small hydrating effect after just one use (due to the application of hyaluronic acid). Studies showing the real effectiveness of dissolving microneedle patches allow for 8 to 12 weeks
About microneedles
Technological advances have allowed skincare active ingredients to be incorporated into dissolving microneedles! These tiny needles can painlessly penetrate the skin barrier where they create a micro-wound. This sounds terrible but when the skin starts to heal it stimulates a cascade of chemical reactions that include growth factors to stimulate new skin cells along with collagen and elastin to rejuvenate the face. Secondly, the microneedles allow skincare actives to get past the skin barrier (or stratum corneum) to deliver critical ingredients into the deeper epidermis and dermis.
Although they are fairly new to the skincare game, dissolving microneedle patches have been successfully used to reduce hyperpigmentation. And even greater reductions in hyperpigmentation can be achieved when dissolving microneedles are used in combination with skincare (both containing 4-n-butylresorcinol).
Evidence

Retinal
Also known as Vitamin A, Retinal is a next-generation retinoid used in skincare to help refine skin texture and improve the appearance of uneven tone and visible signs of ageing. It’s well tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including those that find traditional retinoids too harsh.

Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and supports an even-looking skin tone. It is well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile addition to many skincare formulations.

4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.

Dissolving Microneedles
Dissolving microneedles are designed to deliver skincare ingredients into the skin in a precise and controlled way. Since 2016, research into dissolving microneedles has advanced, and they are now commonly used in skincare to support the absorption of active ingredients and improve the appearance of skin texture and smoothness.
Emerging evidence

Hyaluronic Acid
The optimum size of Hyaluronic Acid for skincare is still a topic of research. Emerging evidence suggests that medium-size HA can support skin hydration and help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and plumpness.

Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Green Tea
Green Tea Extract is a plant-based antioxidant that supports the skin’s surface and helps maintain an even-looking tone and smoother texture.

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a plant-derived antioxidant that helps support an even-looking skin tone and improves the appearance of skin texture and smoothness.
Usage
Step 1:
For use at night on clean skin or even better, over skincare. Ensure that skin is dry.
Step 2:
Remove patch from plastic packing. Remove the white protective strip surrounding the patch. Make sure not to touch the needles
Step 3:
Apply patch to the desired area. Smooth patch over the skin, applying gentle pressure. A light prickling/ scratching sensation will be felt.
Repeat until the prickling sensation is no longer felt.
Step 4:
Leave the patch on for at least 20 minutes or (preferably) overnight.
Things to note:
It is normal for a residue to remain after removing the patch (this is excess hyaluronic acid).
Recommended minimum usage frequency: 2 times weekly for 8-12 weeks.
Recommended minimum usage 1 time bi-weekly for maintenance.
While starting Complexion Correction patches will have a small hydrating effect after just one use (due to the application of hyaluronic acid). Studies showing the real effectiveness of dissolving microneedle patches allow for 8 to 12 weeks.
