Where and when should I apply my patch?

Patches should be applied to clean, dry skin. Avoid placing patches on your face, head, or any areas with broken or irritated skin.

Some of the best spots include wrists, upper arms, shoulder blades, collarbone, back, hips, thighs, and ankles. Our melatonin patches should be applied only when you want to sleep. Otherwise, you can apply our patches at any time, day or night! For sensitive skin, rotate patch sites (arm, back, hip, shoulder, etc.). Don’t use the same spot every day.

Do patches expire?

Yes, our patches expire after 3 years. Each package of patches includes a printed expiration date on the back of the pack for you to reference.

Are patches safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?

All of our patches are formulated with plant-powered ingredients that are generally safe while pregnant or breastfeeding. Some specific vitamins, like Vitamin D and Iron, are essential during pregnancy but should be used with caution to avoid exceeding the upper safe limit. Our patches are specifically formulated with safe, appropriate doses — however, always check with a doctor or medical professional before adding any supplement to your routine. This is especially important for our Big Sleep Mealtonin and NAD+ Youth Repair patch, as the safety of its ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not yet been established. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.

What happens if I leave my patch on longer than 12 hours?

Ingredients will release from the patch over the course of 8-12 hours, but if you forget to remove it, don't stress. Nothing will happen if you remove it after the 12 hour mark.

Who can wear barrière patches?

Our patches are designed for ages 12+, and we offer kids patches for ages 2-11.

Will patches irritate my skin?

Our patches are hypoallergenic and should not cause irritation. If any irritation occurs, please remove the patch. For sensitive skin, rotate patch sites (arm, back, hip, shoulder, or shoulder). Don’t use the same spot every day.

I can't find the vitamin I'm looking for. Why is that?

Because we let science dictate our formulations, we only include ingredients shown to be effective through transdermal delivery—at least equal to, if not better than, other available formats.

For that reason, we don't currently offer every ingredient in a patch. Email wecare@mybarriere.com with any of your questions or suggestions about our ingredients or formulas!

How do I peel a patch from the backing?

1. Place Face Down
Lay the patch sheet face down on a flat, clean surface.

2. Pick a Corner
Choose a corner or edge of the patch to start with.

3. Gently Fold the Backing
Slightly bend (don’t crease) the backing sheet near the chosen edge. This creates tension to help the patch lift.

4. Peel Slowly
Once the edge lifts, peel the patch off slowly at a low angle using fingers or tweezers.

5. Apply Immediately
Stick your patch to the desired surface right after removal to keep the adhesive clean.

Tips for Best Results:

• Avoid creasing the backing.
• Use tweezers for delicate patches.
• Warming the sheet with your hands can help loosen adhesive

Can I cut the patches in half if I want a smaller dose?

We do not recommend cutting the melatonin patch in half, as altering the patch can affect how the ingredients are delivered. One helpful option is that the patches only deliver ingredients while it’s being worn, so you can simply remove it earlier if you’d prefer a shorter delivery time rather than wearing it for the full recommended 8–12 hours.

How should I store my patches?

Store your patches in their pack packaging or in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Each pack includes an expiration date (typically 3 years from production).

What if I’m allergic to adhesives?

The adhesive used in our patches is a PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) and is not produced with colophony/rosin. For sensitive skin, rotate patch sites (arm, back, hip, shoulder, etc.) and don’t use the same spot every day.

Can I wear patches with other vitamins or supplements in my routine?

For the most part, yes. Just make sure you are not doubling up on ingredients. For example, if using a Brains & Beauty patch, an additional Biotin supplement shouldn't be in your routine.

We always recommend consulting your doctor before starting a new regimen, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.

Why choose a patch over capsules or pills?

Our transdermal patches offer an easy, peel-and-stick alternative for anyone overwhelmed by their capsule routine or just prefers not to swallow pills. Our patches are also a great solution for parents, especially those with picky eaters.

They’re travel-friendly, recyclable, and hypoallergenic, making them a convenient part of any wellness routine.

How do I know if my patch is working?

Our vitamin patches are designed to deliver both instant and long-term benefits. While some patches may offer noticeable effects shortly after application—like increased focus, energy, or calm—others work behind the scenes to support your health over time.

Your experience may vary depending on the specific formula and your individual needs, but consistency is key.
