Hero Cosmetics earns strong reviews for Mighty Patch, which visibly flattens whiteheads overnight, curbs picking, and blends well on skin; many say it’s the only patch that reliably “gets the gunk” and prevents scarring. Reviews also flag limits: hydrocolloid patches don’t help deep, under‑the‑skin or early‑stage cystic pimples, adhesion can lift on oily skin, edges can look thick, and several note comparable cheaper alternatives and occasional irritation or lingering marks.

These work reasonably well - in my experience they help clear up skin slightly faster. The down-side for me though is they can feel slightly itchy, and I really have to fight the urge to scratch them off, especially if worn overnight.

Rescue Balm is the best thing you can use once your pimple is healing and at that dried out, flaky stage. It really helps speed up the healing process and it doesn’t clog your pores. I love this so much that I prefer to buy the one in the extra large tube.


Finally!!! Hero Cosmetics came out with face cleansers! I’ve been loving this gentle milky cleanser. It’s creamy and lightly lathers up. I love that it includes the Cica ingredient for my sensitive and reactive skin. My skin feels comfortable after I rinse off without leaving my skin feeling stripped or tight. I also love that it’s a large size and will last me a long time!

I admit I was a little hesitant at first. I thought this would solve a problem I have quite often being that I have SO many breakouts at one time that I go through an entire sheet of mighty patches easily in one day. My initial hesitation was that the Mighty Shield would be a good way to protect my pimple but wouldn't help bring to a head the same way the OG mighty patches do. I was WRONG! I had a deep pimple for days that never came to a head and after trying Mighty Shield on it one time it completely worked! It not only protected it but also completely brought to a head and now my pimple is finally healing! I’m really impressed. It can take a little getting used to how much you need to apply and it takes a little time to dry. It’s a great alternative to the OG pimple patches.

I struggle with a lot of dark spots after my cystic acne heals. It’s difficult to get them to fade so I think that Hero’s Micropoint for Dark Spots helps jump start the lightning process and does more than the average skincare topical. The Micropoints have 2 layers with niacinamide and vitamin c that helps target the dark spot. I also want to shoutout Hero for lowering the price for these! You never hear of brands LOWERING their prices these days.

It took me a long time to try this brand because I was sure it was just a scam, but it is actually as good as it says. I have tried other pimple patch brands and they have never worked for me, but these ones absolutely do. I also really like the way they slightly hide your acne when you're wearing them. My only issue with these is the price point, I wish they were more affordable.

I've used these patches for years on whiteheads. They work well as long as you actually keep them on for 6-8 hours. I have taken them off a few hours earlier a few times in the past and they have been less effective. Also, don't recommend leaving it on too long as that can cause the whitehead to bleed.

I feel like these are better than 'The Original' patches for covering up a spot because they're more opaque, but I don't know that they necessarily do anything for an early-stage blemish. I think for any of these patches to actually work they need to be further along.

These are great and I always make sure to keep them in stock! Putting one of these on a pimple speeds up the pimples progression so much and also prevents me from picking at it. I especially like wearing one of these overnight.

I've been using the Hero Cosmetics original pimple patches for a couple years now. They don't work the best for pimples that aren't popped, which is my biggest complaint. They reduce redness a bit but don't pull anything out of the pimples. However, they work really well for pimples that are popped - they do a great job of sucking out all of the gunk, and the pimples are practically gone the next day. I also love how well they stick to and blend into skin!

I will start by saying I have used the competitors pimple patches that look slightly more aesthetic. They did absolutely NOTHING except look cute. So i tried these and man do these WORK. I will not go back to the other ones. These are nearly invisible so you can wear them out while they are working their magic.

Hero Cosmetics has been a real hero to me! I loveee to use pimple patches, always have since they first hit the American shelves, because they do work & their pimple patches work wonders & come in so many types, night time & day time, which are truly invisible! I use the duo patches, as mentioned above, each one for at night & during the day! The night ones are thicker but they are still the best! The daytime ones are invisible & you cannot tell when wearing them, as they literally disappear on my face! The proof is in ALL the gunk in the patch that you can physically see!!!!! They work, period! I'll always use pimple patches, it's the fastest way to get rid of them, keep them clean & they work within hours, win win to me!!! These ones do not have any ingredients in them, as some of them can have natural ingredients & even the tiny needle patches! These are the plain day & night ones & they work phenomenally well! I most definitely recommend!!!!!!!

I like this brand, I think it is probably one of the most effective acne patches on the market. I don't know if it is worth the price but I would try it again, maybe a different type to see how it is different than the one I bought.

My boys have been going through the normal teen acne stage of life and they are obsessed with these. Not only are they easy for them to use, they wake up and those stubborn little pimples are usually gone.

Honestly was sus was about these - but they really do minimize pimples and expedite the healing process. Personally, I get self-conscious wearing the skin color patches, and prefer Starface star-shaped and colorful patches instead. Also cannot figure out for the life of me how to unpeel the patches for any of the leading pimple patch brands, and get that they are in extra packaging for cleanliness, but feels like excessive single-use plastic.

Cumpre exatamente aquilo que promete. Regenera muito bem a pele, fiquei surpreendida! Relação qualidade-preço que compensa realmente. Fácil de transportar, como por exemplo para alguma viagem. Recomendo imenso.

It's a good patch but I have tried others that I think work better. I did not find using this patch made a material difference compared to other patches that I have tried. But it's a good price and did not irritate my skin.

They didn’t feel as high quality as other patches I’ve used. They peeled off more easily, didn’t stay on all night, and didn’t seem to have a strong effect. I was told so much about them, and I was definitely disappointed.

I had a few pimples and decided to use the patch instead of popping them, and it really worked. I slept with it on, and by the next day the swelling had gone down a lot. I haven't stopped using it since.

Best patches on the market. Stay on until your removed them. Even when you shower
