Microneedle technology uses ultra-fine, self-dissolving micro-spikes made from active skincare ingredients. These tiny microneedles painlessly penetrate the top layer of the skin, creating microchannels that allow ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen, peptides, and salicylic acid to absorb where they’re most effective — deep within the skin, not just on the surface.

All products in our Awesome Series feature microneedle innovation:

• The Awesome Patch targets wrinkles and fine lines
• The Awesome Dot helps stop acne before it surfaces
• The Awesome Lips hydrates and plumps dry, lined lips

Each product is formulated with science-backed actives tailored to specific skin concerns, and all are powered by Moonshot’s advanced transdermal microneedle system.

• The Awesome Patch: Apply to clean, dry skin under the eyes, on smile lines, or the forehead. Leave on for 4 hours or overnight.
• The Awesome Dot: Clean the breakout with the included Skin Prep Swab, then apply the patch and leave on for 6–8 hours.
• The Awesome Lips: Place the patch on clean, dry lips before bed and wear it overnight for full hydration and plumping.

After removing any patch, gently massage the remaining serum into the skin — no rinsing required.

Yes. All Moonshot Labs microneedle patches are:

✔️ Dermatologist-tested

✔️ Fragrance-free

✔️ Alcohol-free

✔️ Non-irritating

✔️ Cruelty-free

They are formulated to be safe for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin.

We recommend using each patch once a week for best results.

• For wrinkles or dryness: use weekly for 4–8 weeks
• For acne: apply whenever you feel a breakout starting
• For lips: use weekly or as often as needed for hydration

• Patch: Most users notice visibly smoother, brighter skin after the first use
• Dot: Many see reduced swelling and redness overnight
• Lips: Lips appear softer, smoother, and fuller by morning

For cumulative improvements, regular weekly use is recommended.

Not at all. The microneedles fully dissolve into the skin, and any remaining serum should be massaged in to maximize results. Follow with your regular moisturizer if desired.

Yes! After using the Patch or Dot, wait about 5–10 minutes for the serum to absorb fully, then follow with your usual makeup routine. Many customers use our patches as pre-makeup skin prep for smoother application.

Creams often sit on the surface of the skin. Moonshot’s microneedle system delivers active ingredients directly below the surface, where they can create visible, lasting change — without irritation or downtime.

Our products are non-invasive alternatives designed to complement or delay more intensive procedures. While not a substitute for injectables, our microneedle patches deliver clinic-inspired results at home, using ingredients proven to improve skin texture, hydration, and clarity over time.

Yes, our products are carefully formulated to be non-irritating, fragrance-free, and alcohol-free — making them suitable for most sensitive skin types. However, if you have active eczema, broken skin, or an open wound, we recommend avoiding use on those areas and consulting a dermatologist before applying any microneedle product.

While The Awesome Patch, Dot, and Lips are topically applied and not absorbed systemically, we always recommend that pregnant or nursing individuals consult their doctor before starting any new skincare product — especially products containing niacinamide, caffeine, or salicylic acid, which may not be suitable for all stages of pregnancy.

Absolutely. All Moonshot Labs patches are lightweight, TSA-friendly, and individually sealed, making them perfect for carry-on bags, weekend kits, or inflight use. They’re a favorite among frequent flyers for overnight hydration and travel breakouts.

Use the patches on clean, dry skin before applying any other products. After removal, massage in the remaining serum, then follow with your regular skincare — such as moisturizer, eye cream, or sunscreen (if daytime). Avoid layering strong actives like retinol directly underneath or on top of the patch area.

Yes. All Moonshot microneedle patches are designed to dissolve fully and safely overnight, so it’s perfectly fine to leave them on for 6–8 hours while you sleep. However, once dissolved, the patch has released all its actives — so wearing longer offers no added benefit.

Our microneedle patches are single-use for hygiene and performance reasons, but they are manufactured using clean, cruelty-free, and minimal-waste processes. We’re actively exploring eco-conscious packaging as part of our next-gen innovation roadmap.
