FRANZ - UV Patch UPF 50+ Sun Protection for Daily Outdoor Activities - Breathable Lightweight Comfortable - Peptide for Radiance, Wrinkles, Anti-Aging - 5 pairs

Strolling in the sun with the kiddos? No problem. Playing tennis or pickle ball outside with the girls? Not an issue. Golf with hubby? No problem! This photo is taken 12 hours after I put it on in the morning before I went out. Do you see how thin this patch (film) is? It was easy to put it on for me (but I do recommend to watch the YouTube guide video, which is available via QR code behind each patch package) and it stays on! It is a clear patch and very thin- it feels and almost looks invisible. Even with hats sun hits where my cheekbones are and this patch can really protect that area. If you enjoy outdoor activities during summer, I highly recommend it! I just throw it in my purse and put it in the car after I put my babies in their car seats lol

As a mom who's always out in the sun, I love how naturally this UV patch stays on my face and can even be applied over makeup. It's water resistant, so it's perfect for outdoor activities including kayaking in the springs, field day games, and water parks. It's so thin and transparent that you forget you are even wearing it. I also attached a photo of my face after removing it, and there were no signs of sun exhaustion.

Terrible stuff

These are great for protecting parts of the face that a hat doesn’t fully cover while playing tennis. They held up really well against sweat and stayed on even after a full tennis session. I also think they’d be perfect for people like my husband who hate applying sunscreen in general.

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 patches adhere naturally to the skin and are thin and transparent enough to be virtually invisible. They’re water- and sweat-resistant, and the convenient pouch makes them easy to use anytime, anywhere.

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 was skeptical of the product but it turned out so much better than I thought! Putting it on was a little funky but once the top layer was off, it didn't feel like I had anything on my face at all. I put on the patch, then the peptide on top, which made it stick to my face better and smoother. I was able to put on my make up on top of it without the issue. I was out all morning with the patch on and it didn't come off, and no one noticed it. The third photo is from the end of the day after my child rubbed her head against my face 😅 On the fourth photo, you can see how stretchy it gets as you take it off. I have a long road trip coming up and the Franz patch is going to be very useful. It's easy to pack and just put it on as long as you have a mirror. It also covers pretry big part of your cheeks so that's also a plus. I'll have to try it at the pool next time!
