Deepcare + Serum Infused Micro Dart Patches — Advanced Retinol Formula
0.1% retinol (3,300 IU/g), designed for the delicate under-eye area.
Delivered through 1,000+ dissolving micro-darts for precise under-eye application.
Beginner-strength retinol, made for gradual nightly use.
Developed in Korea using patented micro-dart technology.
Formulated to help soften the look of fine lines and support a smoother-looking eye area.
Our unique Deepcare+™ serum formula helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines while nourishing and plumping the skin. This micro dart technology offers a deeper delivery versus topical serum.
Our patches utilize 1000 micro darts per patch, each infused with 30mg of Deepcare+™ serum and designed to enhance serum absorption. This innovation aims to revitalize your skin by efficiently delivering key ingredients directly to the surface of the skin in a gentle, non-invasive manner. Best of all, there is no recovery time needed, as the formula focuses on safety of the skin above all else.

The 2026 Edition
We didn't change much.
We just made it work where retinol couldn't.
0.1% retinol (3,300 IU/g), rebuilt for the delicate under-eye area through a micro-dart format designed for gradual nightly wear.
Retinol, rebuilt for the eye area.
Most eye creams stay conservative for a reason: the skin around the eyes is thinner and less tolerant than the rest of the face.
Deepcare+ uses 1,000+ dissolving micro-darts to place the formula with precision where traditional surface-applied formats fall short.

Eye creams cap retinol at 0.01–0.05% for a reason. Face serums hit 0.3–1%, but never near the eyes. We brought face-level retinol to the eye area, by routing around the stratum corneum entirely.
How it works
250 micrometers. Exactly where retinol does its work.
Deep enough to reach the cells that build collagen. Shallow enough to leave the surface, and the irritation entry point — alone.

Anything deeper crosses into medical-device territory. Anything shorter wouldn't reach the cells that matter.
Not All Micro-Darts Are Created Equal
Depology’s Korean-engineered micro-darts are sharper, denser, and more uniform — designed for deeper serum delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions, answered.
Yes, our upgraded Deepcare+® formula contains3,300 IU/g of Retinol (≈0.1%), a gentle, beginner-friendly concentration well-tolerated by most skin types. We recommend a 24-hour patch test before first use.Not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those with a known retinol allergy.
Mild tingling on first use can be normal. If you experience persistent redness, swelling, or rash, stop use, rinse with cool water, and contact support@depology.com we offer a satisfaction guarantee for adverse reactions.
Retinol creams sit on top of the stratum corneum (the outermost ~10μm of skin) and most of the active never absorbs. Our 250μm microdarts deliver retinol through the surface and into the layers where fibroblasts and keratinocytes can actually use it.
Leave the patches on for at least 2 hours. Remove after use. Gently press down the needle area for about 3 seconds to ensure full contact with the skin. Use every 2–3 nights.
Yes. All of our patches are dermatologist approved and third-party tested for skin irritation. Our micro dart patches are developed in a high facility lab based in South Korea and have been safely tested with stringent protocols.
Not at all! Our micro darts are formulated to go deep into the skin to deliver key ingredients without hurting your skin. No pain and no downtime, just effective results!
Some customers may noticed a residue serum after removing the patches. This is a normal part of the treatment process due to the primary ingredient, hyaluronic acid. Here’s why it happens and how you can maximize the benefits.
a. Why is there Residue?
The base ingredient of our microneedle patch is hyaluronic acid, a powerful moisturizer known for its skin benefits. When the patch is applied, the needles dissolve upon contact with moisture, allowing most of the hyaluronic acid to be absorbed into your skin. The residue you see is the remaining hyaluronic acid that hasn’t fully absorbed.
b.How to Handle the Residue?
[1] Gently Massage: After removing the patches, gently tap or rub the remaining serum into your skin. This helps the hyaluronic acid fully absorb and enhances its moisturizing benefits.
[2] Optional Wipe Off: If the residue feels uncomfortable, you can lightly wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth. However, tapping it in is recommended for optimal skin benefits.
[3] Shorter Duration: If you find the residue too bothersome, consider reducing the application time to 2 hours instead of overnight. This still allows the serum to work effectively while minimizing residue. By following these tips, you can ensure you’re getting the maximum benefit from your Depology patches while minimizing any residue.
No.Retinol is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Pause use and we'll keep the formula here when you're ready to come back.
