FRANZ Invisible UV Sun Patches for Face, UPF 50+ Golf (Large, 5 Pairs) | 0.013mm clear peptide film with hyaluronic acid & glutathione; UPF 50+ spot coverage for golf, pickleball, tennis & outdoor

Great option for sun protection! Note that I did not use these for their intended purpose on the face. I noticed that they would be a perfect shape / fit for my treasured tattoo, so I bought them to protect my tattoos from the sun. They are awesome! I think the photos speak for themselves. One photo shows the patch on my skin after several hours and shows how it’s starting to peel a bit. The other photo shows the clear line around the tattoo, you can see how the patches very effectively protected it from the sun compared to the rest of my arm (which had SPF30 applied). A few quick tips: • I applied a small amount of sunscreen before applying the patch and let it dry completely. This worked well and I had no problems with the patch sticking! • I also tried reapplying sunscreen over the top of the patch. This did not work well, it began peeling. • they do not perform well in water/getting wet. As soon as I got in the water, it pilled and came off. • they are thinner than I expected - not in a bad way; just to set your expectations. I was expecting it to be more like a hydrocolloid/pimple patch. It’s more like if you made a very thin layer of serum and dehydrated it. • they’re not sticky to the touch! After letting it dry down, I was able to wear a shirt over it and it didn’t seem to affect its stickiness/wear time. Overall, I was impressed with these and will definitely purchase them again for future use! I’d love to see them made in different sizes or shapes!

What I received isn't what the video showed. I received repacked cell phone screen protectors that were cut in the shape of a sun patch. It had a peel away layer on each side, but the middle layer was stiff plastic, not stretchy or compliant in any way. I do not recommend.

Not gonna lie, placing the patch for the first time was a pain as I did not understand the instructions correctly. I ended up wasting the first one. However! If you've ever placed a screen protector on your phone it is basically the same idea and very straightforward. Once I was able to place them correctly it was the best thing ever. I live and play golf in CA and hated wearing those skin colored UV patches to block out freckles and sun spots. You feel them on your face no matter what, they peel off here and there and overall you look ridiculous lol. But these are virtually invisible and feel soooo comfortable. I almost forgot to peel them off at the end of the day! And my face is quite oily but the patched area stayed nicely matte (but not overly drying). Applying the supplied peptide cream on the patches is the key! Do not skip this final step. Once the cream goes on, small creases you may have magically disappears and the skin feels so moisturized and plump. I was very impressed with the product at the end of my rounding and told all my friends. Truly a game changer if you play golf or like to stay out in the sun a lot. Yes it's expensive but honestly I think it's worth every penny.. ***There is a tiny QR code on the back of packaging which will lead to a YouTube video showing a how to. Must watch before your 1st application. Otherwise you may get grumpy and trash the product like i almost did!

These work really well! I used them on my neck and I didn’t get sunburned. They were able to withstand 3 times of going under water (in a pool) before I had to remove them. I don’t think they’re necessarily made for under water. I wish they had more sizes and shapes.

I love the idea of an invisible sun patch but it doesn't stick well, comes off/wrinkles after an hour and when exercising. It looks worse than the traditional sun patches as it looks I've splattered something on my cheek.

I recently spent $$$ on Picolaser sessions in Asia to lighten all my sunspots, so when a weeklong trip to Hawaii came up, I wanted to ensure that they did not return. Overall? don't hesitate, GET THESE PATCHES. Why? -WEIGHTLESS: You know those fancy NexCare waterproof bandaids or 3M TegaDerm wound coverings made of an ultrathin, transparent film? Pretty much the same type of material as these patches. They are micro-thin and infused with sunscreen. -APPLICATION: similar to those fancy bandaids - you remove the backing, apply the adhesive side to face, and then remove the top film to secure the patch. I only messed up one time -- and realized that the trick is to peel back the top film suuuuuper slooooowly at a 45 degree angle or even less. See, If you peel the top film at a 90 degree angle or more, the patch can "lift" off the skin and get wrinkled. After I realized this, it was smooth sailing each time. The peptide serum (water-based) applied as a last step, helps to secure the patch even further. -NEARLY INVISIBLE (without makeup): Sitting across the table from me, my husband didn't notice the patches until i mentioned it. And with a big hat on, it was totally undetectable. It does look slightly matte, but being transparent it blends in. -LONG WEAR: these lasted all day even through snorkeling, ocean swims, pools, and more. Sure, the patch started to lift slightly at the edges after a long day, but still stayed in place with repeat applications of physical and chemical sunscreens gently patted (not swiped or smeared) on top. (More on that below) -REMOVAL: super easy -- you can peel it off, or dissolve the adhesion with a cleansing balm (My fave is Milani's Green Goddess which is a total dupe of Clinique's Take The Day Off cleansing balm (Milani's is much cheaper, and both are made in Japan). it slides off easily and just toss! Overall, after one week of wearing Franz XL patches in Hawaii under the bright beach sun, (I also wore sunglasses and beach hats when possible), and after careful inspection, I can say that these patches prevented my sunspots from getting darker by about 75-85%. Why not 100%? Well these are not OPAQUE. Only full opacity will prevent sun contact, period. And these patches are still clear and transparent and allow light to shine thru, despite being imbued with sunscreen. I also layered extra sunscreen on top (both physical and chemical types), gently patting in to prevent lifting of the film. I'm not sure if that helped any extra. On two days, I added foundation and concealer on top to create even more opacity. Eeks! Welp--- I do NOT recommend doing that. Makeup will adhere strongly, and the finish will be more matte and create a weirder texture than the rest of your skin. The contrast makes it more obvious and my skin looked worse. If you desperately want some coverage, use a very light tinted moisturizer. Do not use full coverage makeup; it can look very aging. At worst, it looks like you have opaque skin colored patches on.

These were a total disappointment. It was hard to get them on, and then when I finally did, I put the serum on top as directed, and they fell off immediately. Do not recommend.

I liked these, though they took a bit for me to apply the first time. Now I have the hang of it. I thought maybe I could apply over makeup but that is not the case, they won’t stick so just keep that in mind. I wore them in Mexico and I will say after a few hours they started to slip after sweating profusely. But you’d have to reapply sunscreen anyways by that point so didn’t bother me. I would buy these again. I enjoyed the fact that they weren’t as noticeable as other sun patches I’ve tried.
