A considered patch routine

The best routine is one you can follow without thinking about it. With a patch, that means the directions on your pack, a little attention to your skin and a moment each day that soon becomes habit. No complicated schedule. Just the right information for the patch you are wearing.

Begin with your reason for choosing it

Maybe you would rather skip tablets, want a step that travels or like seeing exactly what is in it. Name your reason first. It makes it easy to notice what the format brings to your day: convenience, easy application and comfort.

Each 24/sync patch is built for a purpose, from alert, steady days with Energy to calmer nights with Deep Sleep. Our Science & standards page sets out the ingredients and research behind each one.

Give the instructions a place in the routine

Read the directions for your exact product before first use. Keep them with the pouch so you can check the permitted placement, timing, wear duration, frequency and precautions. Each patch has its own schedule, so follow the one for the patch you are wearing.

If a direction is missing or unclear, check with us before applying the patch. Then set a simple reminder from the product's directions and let it become part of your day.

Make application unhurried

Choose an appropriate area of clean, dry, intact skin in line with the label. Give yourself enough time to check the skin, remove the liner and apply the patch carefully. Oils and lotions on the application area can interfere with adhesion. Your patch guide brings together the practical steps and the details to check.

Keep the routine within the directions

Wear each patch as directed: more patches, longer wear or several formulas at once are not an upgrade. Follow the exact instructions, and ask us about any combination before you try it.

The same goes for showers, swimming and exercise: check the guidance for your patch.

Notice how your days feel

Everyone's different. Give it a couple of weeks of daily wear and notice how your days feel, along with how easy the patch is to apply, how comfortable it is and how the routine fits around you. Our guide to the amounts on the label explains what each number means.

Remove the patch gently as directed. Stop use if irritation occurs; do not treat discomfort as something to work through. Seek appropriate advice if symptoms persist or are significant.

Make it yours

A routine earns its place by fitting your day. Keep the pouch and instructions to hand and follow the storage directions. For help with ingredients, materials or use details, contact our team. For personal medical suitability, speak with a pharmacist or clinician.
