With our 10th year coming to a close, we’re feeling nostalgic and super grateful. We’re honoured to still be looking after your skin a decade later and so thankful for your ongoing love and support. We wouldn’t be the brand we are today without you, our amazing patching community!

Now let’s take a walk down memory lane…

Our line-refining range took home 5 awards, 3 from She-com for our Mouth & Lip Wrinkle Patch, Chest Wrinkle Patch and Eye Wrinkle Patches, and 1 from Prevention Beauty for our Hand Wrinkle Patch. We launched in the UK and rolled out into ALL Priceline stores across Australia (massive!).
