Step One
How Do You Apply an Energy Patch?

Four-step visual guide showing how to clean skin, peel, and apply a Restelle patch firmly for 30 seconds.

The process starts with a clean patch of skin. Good spots are your upper arm, back, or abdomen. Skip any lotion first. It will stop the patch from sticking well.

Quick Setup Steps
  • Choose clean, dry, hair-free skin
  • Peel the backing off the patch
  • Press it onto your skin firmly
  • Hold for 30 seconds to seal it

Apply your patch in the morning. This lines up steady release with your day ahead.

The Science
How Does the Formula Enter Your Skin?

This process is called transdermal delivery. Your skin has several thin layers. Small ingredient molecules pass through those layers into tiny blood vessels underneath.

Why Skin Delivery Works
  • Skips your stomach and digestion completely
  • Skips early breakdown by your liver
  • Sends the formula straight into your blood

This is the same method used in nicotine and pain relief patches. It is a well-studied, proven way to deliver ingredients.

Steady Support
How Does the Release Stay Steady All Day?

The adhesive layer acts like a slow gate. It controls how fast the formula moves into your skin. This creates a steady, even flow.

Slow and Steady Wins

Coffee gives one quick burst that fades fast. A patch spreads that support across many hours instead. This avoids sharp highs and sudden lows.
