KOCOSTAR Yellow Cream Patch
The panel liked that this cream-to-patch blemish formula “combines both the convenience of dabbing on a cream, and the protection and effectiveness of a patch.” “I also like how this can be used under make-up, allowing people to cover up an active blemish with [fewer visible] ramifications,” said one juror. The formula forms a thin, breathable barrier that delivers the blemish-clearing ingredients when applied to the skin. The “patch” effect is created with a patented marine cellulose that forms the film on the skin. The biofilm is flexible and breathable and made from naturally derived cellulose, a material commonly used in medical applications to protect wounds from contaminants and promote an optimal healing environment. “This product seems to be a great alternative to pimple patches for anyone looking for an effective and skin-friendly way to manage their breakouts,” noted the panel. Among the formula’s healing ingredients are betaine salicylate, capryloyl salicylic acid, sulfur, niacinamide, tea tree leaf extract, and seaberry oil. The formula can be applied before make-up and worn throughout the day. “Very innovative, love that it turns from a cream to a patch - I can see this being very popular,” said one juror.

What sets your product apart and why is it innovative?
Yellow Cream Patch redefines spot treatment by combining the benefits of traditional creams and blemish patches into a unique 2-in-1 solution. Designed to calm blemishes before they fully develop, it helps reduce the pain and discomfort of breakouts. If you apply it at the first sign of a blemish, it will be gone as soon as the next morning.
Unlike creams that stay on the skin’s surface, limiting their effectiveness, our formula transforms into a breathable cellulose film that allows deep penetration of blemish-fighting ingredients. Powered by patented marine cellulose, this innovative film also shields the skin from irritants. Unlike bulky sticker patches, our patch adheres comfortably, even under makeup, and can be easily removed during cleansing.
Hypoallergenic and free from plastics and chemical adhesives, Yellow Cream Patch offers a gentle, skin-friendly blemish care suitable for all skin types.
