Skincare and creepy crawlies, two things you'd never expect to go hand in hand. But Dododot's Beauty has boldly bridged the gap with their latest acne patch design that's causing quite a stir online.
It all started when a user on X (formerly Twitter), @hannabunnyb, shared a photo of herself wearing the brand's newly released cockroach-themed acne patches. The post quickly went viral, drawing reactions ranging from horror to hilarity.

Unlike conventional acne patches, this quirky edition features small cockroach-shaped stickers in various sizes. Each pack comes with 12 patches, and while they function like any typical acne patch, their unsettling design is what truly sets them apart.
In her post, Hanna jokingly warned others to wear them at their own risk.
"Dododots made a cockroach acne patch, but I'd advise you to wear it carefully or you might get slapped by someone nearby," she teased.
From afar, the patch does resemble an actual cockroach sitting on the skin, an illusion that has shocked and amused many. Some users joked they would panic at their own reflection, while others praised the creativity behind the design.
Surprisingly, the novelty didn't just grab local attention. Interest has also grown internationally, with skincare enthusiasts from Singapore expressing curiosity about the product.
For those wondering why cockroaches, of all creatures, were chosen as the theme, Dododots offered some insight on TikTok. According to the brand, the idea came from a team member named Mag, who was oddly passionate about turning the insect into a skincare statement.

"After hours of staring at cockroaches, reviewing designs, and planning our marketing strategy, we were all just like 'eugh,'" the brand shared, embracing the gross-out factor with humor.
To top it off, Dododots named the limited edition "Your Ex," drawing a cheeky parallel between exes and cockroaches, both known for their persistence in coming back when least expected.
Equal parts weird and wonderful, the cockroach acne patch has proven that in the world of skincare, even the most unexpected ideas can leave a mark, literally and virally.
