Pimple Patches? So Last Season. The Ordinary Just Dropped a Blemish Buster That Disappears Into Your Skin (Literally)
Let’s face it—pimple patches have had a good run. They were cute, discreet (kind of), and gave us the illusion of control over our breakout-prone skin. But if you've ever stared at your reflection thinking, “There’s still a weird shiny sticker on my face,” then you’re not alone. Enter The Ordinary’s latest skin-tech flex: Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate—a shape-shifting blemish treatment that takes transparency to the next level.
This isn’t your average zit zapper. Packaged in a powder format, it transforms into a featherweight cream when you press it into your skin—no water, no mixing, just science that feels like magic. Here’s how it works: during formulation, water and powder elements are blitzed together at high speed, creating tiny water capsules wrapped in a powder shell. The moment you apply pressure (a.k.a. your finger), the capsules pop and release blemish-fighting sulfur right where you need it.
“Invisible solution, visible results,” The Ordinary proclaims—and for once, it’s not just marketing fluff. Unlike pimple patches that try to disappear into your skin (but usually end up catching the light at the worst angles), this formula genuinely vanishes. That’s thanks to colloidal sulfur, which not only shrinks particle size for better absorption but also dials down the classic rotten-egg stench sulfur is infamous for.
And if you're counting coins (we always are), here’s something to smile about: one RM58 bottle equals the firepower of over 150 pimple patches. That’s major value, especially since your typical sticker pack only carries about 20-30 patches. More blemish-fighting power, fewer awkward moments in public bathrooms applying zit stickers. Win-win.
Best part? It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and flexible enough to slide into your current routine without stirring up drama. Just maybe don’t cocktail it with three other spot treatments unless you’re into chaos.
So if you’re ready to ghost your patches and level up your blemish routine, this might just be your new skin saviour. It's innovation, affordability, and skincare that actually listens. Because honestly, your skin deserves better than a sticker.
