Before you apply
Choose skin that is clean, dry and unbroken. The upper arm, shoulder blade and inner wrist are the placements shown in the Pacheez application guide. Avoid moisturiser, oil, sunscreen or body lotion on the spot you are about to use — a film on the skin is the most common reason a patch lifts at the edges.
If you are using two patches in a day, put them in different places. Rotating the site gives each area of skin a rest.
Applying the patch
Peel the backing away, press the patch onto the skin and smooth it from the centre outwards for a few seconds. Press the edges down last. Wear it for up to 8 hours, then remove it.
Do not cut a patch to fit. A cut edge exposes the adhesive layer and the patch will not sit flat.
Removing it comfortably
Peel slowly from one corner, holding the skin steady with your other hand. If the patch is stubborn, warm water on a cloth for a few seconds loosens the adhesive. Any residue washes off with soap and water.
If you notice redness, itching or irritation, remove the patch straight away, leave that area of skin alone until it settles, and speak to a pharmacist if it does not. Do not reapply to irritated skin.
Storing the rest of the box
Keep the sachets sealed until you use them, and store the box somewhere cool and dry — a cupboard rather than a bathroom shelf, where steam and heat are constant. Keep the box out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Once a sachet is opened, use that patch rather than putting it back. The adhesive and the patch itself are both affected by air and moisture.
Common questions
- How long can I wear a Pacheez patch?
- Up to 8 hours per patch, then remove it and rotate the placement.
- Can I wear a patch in the shower or at the gym?
- The directions do not restrict normal daily activity. If a patch lifts at the edges, dry the skin and apply a fresh one rather than pressing a wet patch back down.
