Let’s Chat

Join us for a special episode featuring the iconic brand that put pimple patches on the map, Peace Out Skincare. Junior Pence joins us today to share the story of what led to Peace Out’s iconic pimple patch and the vision behind the brand. 

Founder Enrico Frezza tried more acne products, doctor prescriptions, and infomercial products than you can possibly imagine, and could not find an easy-to-use solution with fast-acting results. His frustration became the catalyst for developing a technology that treated the root cause of our pesky breakouts, not just the symptom.

The breakthrough “A-HA” moment came while Enrico was scouring the drugstore aisles for anything that could possibly clear one of his nasty breakouts. It was then that Enrico discovered hydrocolloid dressing - a biodegradable, flesh-coloured dressing normally used to heal wounds in the medical field. He bought every hydrocolloid bandage in the drugstore and began self-testing until he found a one-step, easy skincare solution to treat his acne.

Enrico was immediately met with resistance from all labs except one. With a lab secured, Enrico powered through the product development process of the first ever hydrocolloid acne dot to be infused with active ingredients. After years of tireless research and 14 prototypes later, Peace Out Acne was born and recruited into an exclusive partnership with Sephora U.S. in January 2017.
Peace Out Acne hit shelves 8-months later in July 2017 and immediately took Sephora by storm, while quickly becoming the leader in patch technologies. Enrico continued to create new skincare technologies that delivered easy to use, one-step solutions for skin concerns, with fast-acting results.
