Welcome to the final stretch of summer, when the temperatures are high, the weekends are long, and the season’s early vacation glow has transformed into a continuous sweat. But all that fun in the sun can have a funny way of impacting your skin, clogging pores on the forehead, chin, and nose. While a tried-and-true retinol regimen may work for some to keep blackheads and spots at bay, there’s nothing worse than an uninvited spat of cystic acne, which often require a visit to the dermatologist’s office for an emergency cortisone injection. Or, at least, that’s been the case until now.

Enter Acropass, a new kind of at-home microneedling technology that just arrived stateside from South Korea to treat breakouts. The small, circular strips send tiny dissolvable pressure point “needles,” made with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, into the skin. And while acne patches have long been available, Acropass’s formula claims to penetrate the surface to infuse faster-working anti-inflammatory agents and dramatically reduce the circumference and life of a spot.
