removing patch residue!
« on: November 14, 2021, 12:41:01 PM »

Hello. I have no issue at all with the patches themselves, but when I replace them I am left with grey marks - the outline of where the patches were - like you'd get with plasters I guess?  Any ideas how to remove this ? Thank goodness its winter as it looks horrific  ;D ;D Thanks all

Baby oil on a cotton pad, comes off a treat & smells lovely  😊

I’m a bit like Taz - I use nail varnish remover pads.  :)

Ha, I had this issue but read about using baby oil and it works really well. I had a slight rash because I didn't fully remove the grey line a couple of weeks back. Lesson learned. A dollop on a reusable bamboo pad is my go-to :)

I use cold wax strips for my ‘moustache’. They come with cleaning wipes which are perfect for removing the patch residue.

It's worked for me over the past fourteen years - it's such a tiny amount. I've got a really sensitive skin too so I must admit I was surprised. Think I read about it first on hystersisters. There is always the adhesive remover wipes from amazon too which may work.
