The Awesome Dot

The Awesome Dot

From early-stage pimple to clean skin — without harsh topicals.

The Awesome Dot is a 2-step acne breakthrough that targets blemishes from the inside out. Start with the Skin Prep Swab to clean and prime. Then apply the microneedle dot — a 173-needle patch that gently penetrates inflamed skin, delivering salicylic acid, niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, and zinc PCA directly into the root of the breakout.

Unlike surface-only acne treatments, this transdermal microneedle system works at the inflamed pore level to calm, clear, and heal faster — without drying your skin.

  • Rapid relief for early-stage acne and red spots
  • Microneedle technology delivers actives deep into the lesion
  • Reduces inflammation, bacteria, oil buildup, and pore congestion
  • Proven ingredients: salicylic acid, niacinamide, Centella, zinc
  • Dermatologist-tested, suitable for sensitive skin
No picking. No drying. Just science. Wake up to clearer, calmer skin.

Why should I use Patches

Harnessing the power of DermaJect™ microneedle technology, this innovative patch is designed to treat acne and blemishes at their source. By penetrating deep into the skin, it effectively combats breakouts and promotes clearer, healthier skin from within.

This advanced treatment includes a Skin Prep Swab, followed by The Awesome Dot, both working in tandem to deliver potent acne-fighting ingredients with precision. The Skin Prep Swab prepares the skin by cleansing and priming the affected area, ensuring optimal absorption of active ingredients. Following this, The Awesome Dot utilizes cutting-edge  Dermaject™ Microneedle technology to penetrate the skin’s deeper layers, targeting blemishes at their source. Clinically tested and scientifically formulated, this 2-step kit provides a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to clearer, healthier skin, making it an essential tool in the fight against acne.   

It infuses our age-fighting Awesome ingredients into a hydrogel-based array of super-thin self-dissolving Microneedles. It utilizes this cutting-edge microneedle technology to deliver our Awesome ingredients deep into the skin that are often difficult to absorb. With 175 Microneedles the patches work by self-dissolving and releasing the ingredients deep into the dermal layers of the skin. Painlessly penetrating the skin, these patches infuse Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Zinc PCA, Panthenol, and many others. You'll see a visible difference the second you remove your Patch and it only amplifies when you use them regularly.

QUESTION - WITH ANSWERS

What is microneedle technology, and how does it work?

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.

Which Moonshot Labs products use microneedle delivery?

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.

How do I use the products?
  • 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.

Are these products safe for sensitive skin?

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.

How often should I use the microneedle patches?

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
When will I see results?
  • 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.

Do I need to rinse or wash off the serum afterward?

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.

Can I apply makeup afterward?

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.

Are these better than creams or serums?

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.

Is this a replacement for Botox or cosmetic treatments?

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.

Can I use Moonshot microneedle patches if I have sensitive skin or eczema-prone skin?

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.

Are the patches safe for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

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.

Can I travel with microneedle patches?

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.

Should I use other skincare products before or after applying the patches?

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.

Can I leave the patch on longer than 4–8 hours?

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.

Are the patches recyclable or sustainable?

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.
