Adaptive package

A method of producing a multi-layer beauty care product for applying a skin active agent to the skin. The method involves applying a water-soluble fluid to a transfer substrate. The water-soluble fluid contains a skin active agent and is applied to the transfer substrate through an image carrier having a mesh size of 40 to 500. The water-soluble fluid is dried to form a water-soluble film, which is then transferred to a backing layer coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. The resulting multi-layer beauty care product provides a suitable a means of delivering the skin care active agent to a target portion of skin.
