Zits are a pain, and sadly a struggle not isolated to adolescence. Thankfully, there’s been an increasing air of acceptance and maybe even occasional glamour around them over the past several years, thanks to the growing popularity of acne patches that come in fun shapes.
Nascent beauty brand Skincare for Weirdos leans into the bit in a couple of interesting ways. Their candy heart-inspired patches not only feature text that practically encourages staring at the “problem areas,” but they come in cute, recycled plastic compacts that turn acne maintenance into an alluring beauty ritual. Hey, we’re human, why not own it?
This in-house packaging design takes a modern approach on early 2000s internet aesthetics with a slightly pixelated serif font and save folder icons. The text and patches both glow with shiny silver foil detailing that can’t help but attract attention.
