ABOUT / OUR STORY EST. 2026 · LOS ANGELES

Pimples happen.
Keep going.

We've all been there. You wake up, look in the mirror, and there it is — a pimple that decided to show up at the worst possible time.

Philosophy
Small patch. Big difference.

01
THE PROBLEM / THE TIMING

Something so small feels like a much bigger problem.

  1. 06:52 Before school.
  2. 08:30 Before work.
  3. 19:45 Before a date.
  4. REC • Before a camera.

And suddenly, the smallest thing on your face is the only thing you can think about.

02
THE FOUNDERS / TWO ROADS

Very different backgrounds. One common idea.

Robert Nguyen, co-founder of SKINPATCH
CO-FOUNDER

Robert Nguyen

  1. THENGrew up dealing with acne himself — experimenting with different skincare products and following daily routines.
  2. LATERYears in the beauty industry gave him a different perspective: evaluate products carefully, find practical solutions people can actually use.
  3. BRINGSProduct selection and quality testing.
Joe Jitsukawa, co-founder of SKINPATCH
CO-FOUNDER

Joe Jitsukawa

  1. THENNearly two decades creating content and spending much of his life in front of cameras.
  2. KNOWSThe frustration of an unexpected pimple showing up exactly when appearance mattered.
  3. BUTSkincare always felt overwhelming — endless products, unfamiliar ingredients, complicated routines.
THE COMMON GROUND

Taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

03
THE AISLE / WHAT WE WALKED AWAY FROM

Sometimes doing nothing felt easier than figuring out where to start.

THE SKINCARE AISLE
  • Endless products
  • Unfamiliar ingredients
  • Complicated routines
  • Unnecessary markups
  • Something to research first
SKINPATCH
  • One patch
  • One material: hydrocolloid
  • One job, done well
  • More patches per box
  • Press on. Get on with your day.
04
THE PROCESS / HOW IT CAME TOGETHER

Together, we saw an opportunity to make things simpler.

  1. STEP 01Compare

    We put different pimple patches side by side.

  2. STEP 02Evaluate

    We tested their absorbency, with Robert's eye for product quality.

  3. STEP 03Select

    We kept the product that met our expectations.

  4. STEP 04Price it fairly

    More patches per box, at a more accessible price.

  5. RESULTSKINPATCH

    A straightforward pimple patch for everyday life.

05

THE ROAD / START SMALL, GROW BIGGER

We're launching a pimple patch. We're building something bigger.

    Robert and Joe start SKINPATCH in Los Angeles.

  2. PHASE 1 · YOU ARE HERE Pimple patches

    Become a recognizable brand for simple, affordable pimple care. Day, Night and the Combo.

  3. PHASE 2 · IN DEVELOPMENT Adhesive self-care

    Breathe (nasal strips), Cool (menthol patches), Rest (mouth tape, subject to safety evaluation), Protect (blister & anti-chafing). Nothing ships before it passes evaluation.

  4. PHASE 3 Everyday self-care

    A trusted name for practical adhesive self-care essentials. The products may change. The philosophy stays.
