FAQ

Stiq is a Spanish brand of vitamin patches and pimple patches for your daily care routine. The vitamin patches are made up of Energy, Focus, Sleep and Relax.

Vitamin patches are products applied to the skin to bring certain ingredients into a daily routine, as an alternative to taking them in pill form. Their effectiveness depends on the specific formula and consistent use, not on the format itself.

They don't replace a healthy lifestyle or act as medication. They're a practical format for staying consistent with certain ingredients. Brands like Stiq formulate their patches with pharmaceutical grade criteria, but no patch guarantees the same result for everyone.

Apply them directly to clean, dry skin, on the area indicated for the product, and leave them on for the time specified on the packaging.

We combine a formula developed with pharmaceutical grade criteria with a product designed for real, everyday use: fast, discreet and free of complicated routines.

Yes, they're formulated to minimize the risk of irritation. If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend checking each product's details first.

Directly here, with shipping across mainland Spain.

Each one is designed for a different moment of the day: Energy for those energy dips, Focus to help you concentrate, Sleep for your rest routine, and Relax to manage built up tension. You can use one or several, depending on what you need that day.

A hydrocolloid patch is a dressing that creates a moist environment on the skin, absorbs fluid and impurities, and is used both for minor wounds and for treating pimples and blemishes.

Between 6 and 8 hours, or overnight. You'll know it's working when the patch turns white as it absorbs the impurity.

Yes. Once the patch is properly stuck to the skin, you can apply makeup over it as usual, although many people prefer to leave it visible.

The patch keeps protecting the area and stops you from picking at it, but you'll notice the effect more slowly. That type of pimple needs more time to mature, with or without a patch.

Yes, you can place one patch on each affected area. There's no fixed limit on how many you can use at once, although each one covers a single spot.

Hydrocolloid is a widely used material known for being well tolerated. Even so, if your skin is very reactive, we recommend testing a single patch on a small area first before using several at once.

Applied to clean, dry skin, it won't leave residue. If it feels sticky, peel it off slowly and clean the area with warm water.

Yes. Once applied to clean, dry skin, it holds up against water, sweat and normal everyday friction, day or night.

Each pimple patch pack comes with 30 units.

For now, Starwear is only available on the Stiq online store, where you can also choose between the 4 colors and mix them.

No. Each patch is designed for single use. Once it has absorbed fluid, it loses its ability to keep doing so, so it's best to replace it with a new one.

The principle of absorption through the skin (transdermal) isn't new or exclusive to vitamins. It's been used for years in other pharmacy products. A vitamin patch applies that same principle to ingredients like melatonin, caffeine or magnesium, avoiding the dose loss that happens during digestion.

Because you skip digestion, which is where a pill loses part of its dose, and because it doesn't depend on remembering to take it with water or after eating.

Yes, it's designed to be safe to use even on sensitive skin.

Yes. It resists sweat and water without peeling off. Just make sure to apply it on dry skin first and leave it on for a few minutes before it gets wet.

Yes, they're designed to be combined. For example, Focus in the morning and Relax in the afternoon.

Since it's applied externally with gradual release, the risk of adverse effects is lower than with an oral pill. But as with any wellness product, if you notice skin irritation or have a pre-existing medical condition, consult a professional before using it.

On a clean, dry area with little hair. The arm, shoulder or collarbone work well. Avoid applying cream to that area beforehand.

A vitamin patch is an adhesive placed on the skin that gradually releases vitamins or other wellness ingredients, which are absorbed directly through the skin instead of through digestion.

They don't replace pills in every case, but they avoid the dose loss that happens during digestion, offering a steadier release throughout the day.

It depends on the product, but the usual release is gradual, lasting up to 8 hours of continuous use.

Yes, as long as they're formulated to be compatible with each other, like the Sleep, Energy, Focus and Relax range from Stiq.
