Hypoallergenic Explanation
- Reduced Risk, Not Zero Risk: Our medical-grade adhesive is formulated to minimize the likelihood of allergic reactions. However, “hypoallergenic” does not guarantee no one will react.
- Patch Test: If you have a known history of adhesive allergies or sensitive skin, test a small piece on your inner forearm for 24 hours. Discontinue if redness or irritation occurs.
- Stop If Symptoms Appear: Remove the strip immediately if you experience swelling, intense itching, blistering, or rash, and consult a healthcare professional.
Proper Application & Wear Duration
- Clean & Dry Skin: Wash and dry your nose thoroughly. Oils, lotions, or perspiration can weaken the adhesive, reducing effectiveness.
- Placement: Align the strip across the bridge of your nose, avoiding direct contact with the sensitive areas around the eyes or inside the nostrils.
- Wear Limit: Do not exceed 12 consecutive hours of wear within any 24-hour period. Allow your skin to rest before reapplying a fresh strip.
- Gentle Removal: Peel off slowly from one end at a low angle to avoid unnecessary skin pulling or irritation.
Skin Reactions & Irritation
- Mild Irritation: First-time users or individuals with sensitive skin may experience slight redness or itching that subsides once the strip is removed.
- Persistent Discomfort: If irritation persists, remove the strip and discontinue use. Monitor symptoms and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.
- Severe Reactions: Blistering, swelling, or intense pain is uncommon but possible. Seek medical attention immediately if these occur.
Use in Children & Minors
- Under 5 Years: Not recommended due to delicate skin and developing nasal structures.
- 5–11 Years: Use only under adult supervision. If uncertain, consult a pediatrician, especially for chronic nasal or breathing problems.
- Ages 12+: Generally safe, provided the user understands proper application and removal. Seek medical advice if underlying conditions exist.
Storage, Expiry & Disposal
