How can I minimize irritation from patch adhesives?Updated 2 hours ago

Our patches are built with your skin in mind. Skin Grip’s Smart Grip™ adhesive is made with 100% acrylic—no fillers—making it tough enough to last through sweat, showers, and activity, while still being gentle on skin.

That said, everyone’s skin is different. If you’re prone to irritation, here are a few tips our community has found helpful:

• Use barrier wipes. Apply a barrier wipe like Skin Tac® or Skin Grip® Adhesive Barrier Wipes before placing your patch. This creates a protective layer between your skin and the adhesive.

• Try Flonase® (yes, really). Some customers report using a light layer of Flonase® as a skin barrier before applying their patch.

• Avoid MAX + Clear patches if sensitive. Our MAX and Clear patches are extra-strong formulas that may not be the best option for sensitive skin. Stick with our standard patches if you’re concerned about irritation.

If irritation continues, remove the patch immediately and consult with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
