The latest drop from the brand furthers this, with glow-in-the-dark patches that improve one's skin health in a manner that's exciting and photo-friendly. To activate the glow-in-the-dark properties, users just have to hold the patches under a light for a few minutes. Users can then seamlessly place the star-shaped patch on top of their zit, and turn off the lights for an Instagram-ready photo opportunity. In addition, these adorable acne patches are equipped with hydrocolloid, which can dry out the pimple, while blocking out any bacteria.
