If you feel stinging, burning, or notice redness or swelling after applying DIZAO hydrogel patches, remove them immediately and rinse the area gently with cool water. Do not attempt to "push through" the discomfort, as this could worsen irritation. The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and sensitive, making it more prone to reactions from even gentle cosmetic ingredients.
Common triggers can include fragrance components (though these patches are not specifically described as fragranced), certain botanical extracts, or individual sensitivity to ingredients like snail mucin or chamomile—even though both are generally well-tolerated. The product information advises cautious first use if your skin is very reactive, and explicitly states not to apply on irritated or damaged skin.
After rinsing, apply a bland moisturizer or a product you know is safe for your skin to help restore the barrier. Wait at least a few days before trying the patches again, and consider testing on a less sensitive area like the inner forearm first. If reactions persist or you have a history of contact dermatitis, it may be best to avoid using them. Remember: cosmetic hydrogel patches are meant to enhance your skincare routine comfortably; they should not cause pain or visible irritation.
