Review

Results you may expect from using Miss Spa Clear Blemish Patches:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Miss Spa Clear Blemish Patches:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.2 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Miss Spa Clear Blemish Patches has a moisturizing rating of 2.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a moderate humectancy of 4.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Miss Spa Clear Blemish Patches is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Water
Est. %11
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Alcohol Denat.
Est. %6
Function

Denatured alcohol is ethanol that contains additives that make it unsafe to consume. It is mainly used as a solvent and an antimicrobial agent. A major drawback to alcohol denat. is that it dries out the skin.

Butylene Glycol
Est. %4
Function
Origin

Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil

Function
Origin
An extract from a plant known in North America as Fireweed and in Europe as Willowherb. It is commonly used in traditional herbal medicine. Due to its abundant content of tannins and flavonoids, it has great astringent and antioxidant properties.
