Why We Exist

We Refused to Choose Between Cute and Quality

Here's the thing about pimple patches: the cute ones don't work, and the ones that work aren't cute.

We watched brands slap stars on cheap patches, manufacture them as cheaply as possible, and charge premium prices. We saw others create clinical-grade patches that worked brilliantly but made you feel like you were hiding a wound, not healing your skin with confidence.

We also saw brands selling packs of 200 pimple patches... the equivalent of a phone charger company selling you 50 cables because the first 49 will break. If you need that many, they probably don't work.

Neither felt right.

So We Built Something Different

Astora was born from a simple belief: you shouldn't have to compromise between patches that actually heal your skin and patches you're proud to wear.

While other brands race to the bottom on manufacturing costs, we went the opposite direction. We partnered with Korea's top hydrocolloid manufacturers – the same facilities trusted by dermatologists and skincare professionals worldwide – because Korean skincare technology is genuinely unmatched.

Our patches use 100% premium hydrocolloid. No fillers. No shortcuts. No cheap materials that peel off overnight or barely absorb anything.

Why We're Different

We don't cut corners. Period.

When competitors saw an opportunity to capitalize on the star patch trend with cheap manufacturing, we saw an opportunity to do it properly. To bring Korean-quality hydrocolloid patches to Australia without the inflated import prices or months-long shipping waits.

Made in Korea. This isn't a marketing line – it's our non-negotiable standard. The same country that revolutionized sheet masks and essence formulations manufactures every single one of our patches to specifications we're genuinely proud of.

Designed for confidence, not concealment. Our star patches aren't meant to hide. They're meant to heal while you live your life unapologetically. Wear them to class, to work, to brunch, to your date. Your skin is healing – that's something to own, not hide.

For the Ones Who Want Both

You're not asking for much. You want patches that flatten your pimples overnight AND look cute while doing it. You want premium quality without paying import markups. You want to treat your acne without feeling clinical or embarrassed.

Astora is for you.

We're an Australian brand, shipping from Australia, bringing you Korean-quality patches that you'll actually be excited to use. Because skincare should work and make you feel good.

Choose Your Core. Heal with confidence.
