The Science
How Do Focus Patches Work for Mental Clarity?

Focus patches use transdermal delivery. Nutrients move through your skin and into your blood. Nicotine patches and pain relief patches use the same method.

Skin Delivery in Simple Steps
  • You press the patch onto clean, dry skin
  • Nutrients move slowly through the outer skin layer
  • Small blood vessels carry them into circulation
  • The patch keeps releasing for up to 8 hours
Why Steady Release Matters for Clarity

A capsule delivers everything at once. The effect can spike, then fade fast. A patch releases in small amounts over hours. This helps you stay clear and steady, not sharp then foggy.

Application
Where Do You Apply a Focus Patch?

Apply your patch to clean, dry, hairless skin. The best spots are your upper arm, back, or abdomen. Skip lotion and oil first. They stop the patch from sticking.

Simple Rules to Follow
  • Apply one patch in the morning and replace it daily
  • Use a different spot each day to keep skin comfortable
  • Never apply to broken, red, or irritated skin
  • Press firmly for 30 seconds after applying

The Restelle Focus Patch is waterproof. You can shower or exercise without it coming off.
