A WOMAN has praised Garnier for “changing the skincare game” with their new invisible spot patches.
Victoria Underwood took to TikTok to share just how much the patches blend into the skin – even under make-up.
She began by asking if anyone could see the patches on her face, before turning her ring light on and asking again.
“Even with my light on, I still can’t see them. This is insane!” she said.
Victoria added that she’d worn the patches for the past eight hours, and struggled to even find them when it came to removing them.
“You can’t see them when you’ve got no make-up on,” she said.
“You can’t see them when you put make-up on top.
“They literally make your spots disappear. And they actually work!”
She then showed the “stuff” the patch had managed to pull out of the skin while she’d been wearing them.
“I literally love these things because one, they’re invisible,” she said.
“Two, they’re affordable.
“Three, they stop any more bacteria or make-up getting on my spot.”
And concluding her list, Victoria said that the other bonus of the patches is that they stop her from squeezing or picking at the spots.
“They are so good,” she said.
“I love these. I am obsessed!”
In the video caption, Victoria wrote: “I have never used a blemish patch that literally becomes invisible!!!
“@Garnier have literally changed the #skincare game.”
While the patches are on offer in Boots, they’re even cheaper on TikTok – coming in at just 22p a patch.
Face The Future’s Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery. Whether in topical formulations or clinic-based treatments, they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing and compromised skin barriers.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products like CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50 which combine active ingredients like ceramides with a broad-spectrum SPF50 for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world in 2025, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums, designed to enhance elasticity and hydration whist catering to a more eco-conscious audience.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions –
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. In 2025, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
“Invisible and covers them! Wow,” one person commented on the video.
“These are such a great product to have for break outs,” another added.
“They’re the best!!” a third praised.
“Omg how amazing do they look!” someone else wrote.
As another commented: “Omg no one talks about the fact these stop you from touching your breakouts so no unnecessary bacteria gets in!
“That’s such a huge bonus in my opinion!”
“Literally a game changer,” Victoria replied.
“I swear by these! They are the best pimple patches,” someone else raved.
While another admitted they’d just “added three to the basket”.
