Dermalogica Deep Acne Liquid Patch — Sulfur & Niacinamide 0.5 fl oz, invisible liquid-to-patch spot treatment for blemishes

Dermalogica Deep Acne Liquid Patch is an invisible liquid-to-patch spot treatment that transforms on contact to shield, soothe, and help clear blemishes while supporting even skin tone.

This compact, dermatologist-developed formula delivers a lightweight liquid that sets into a breathable patch over active breakouts. It combines 5% colloidal sulfur to manage surface oil with niacinamide to assist in calming and evening post-blemish discoloration. Cooling camphor and polylysine add a refreshing sensation while pomegranate extract helps refine texture, making this a targeted option when you need fast, subtle coverage and treatment.

How quickly does the liquid-to-patch action work?

The serum dries down into an imperceptible film within minutes, forming a protective barrier over the blemish without creating a visible occlusive layer. That barrier helps keep out pollutants and hands while still allowing the skin to breathe.

• Sets into a flexible, translucent patch in minutes
• Provides immediate physical protection from external irritants
• Leaves no obvious residue for daytime wear

What active ingredients reduce redness and oil?

This formula uses 5% colloidal sulfur to target excess surface oil and help reduce the look of blemishes, while niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports barrier balance and helps improve uneven post-blemish tone. Camphor offers a light cooling effect to ease sensation around the spot.

• 5% colloidal sulfur reduces surface oil and the appearance of pimples
• Niacinamide helps support skin balance and brighter post-blemish tone
• Camphor and polylysine deliver a soothing, refreshing feel

Can I use it with other skincare or makeup?

You can layer this treatment under non-comedogenic makeup or over your usual skincare routine once the liquid has set into a patch. Because it becomes a thin protective layer, it helps makeup adhere and prevents direct transfer of oils from fingers to the blemish.

• Apply to clean, dry skin before makeup—wait until it sets
• Compatible with most serums and moisturizers when used as directed
• Works discreetly under non-greasy foundations or powders

How is skin texture improved while treating spots?

Pomegranate extract and polylysine support smoother-feeling skin as the active ingredients work on the blemish. While sulfur addresses surface oil and the look of pimples, the botanical and conditioning components help minimize roughness and promote a more refined appearance over time.

• Pomegranate extract contributes to a refined skin surface
• Polylysine soothes and conditions the treated area
• Targets both visible blemishes and immediate texture concerns

Who is this for: Dermalogica Deep Acne Liquid Patch suits anyone dealing with occasional to frequent spot breakouts who prefers an invisible, quick-setting treatment that both protects and treats. It's a good choice for people who want targeted blemish care without opaque patches, for those who wear makeup over treatments, and for anyone seeking ingredients that balance oil and address post-blemish tone. Avoid use if you have known sensitivities to sulfur, camphor, or any listed ingredient, and patch-test first on sensitive skin.
