Reviews mention

  • Overnight, reliable blemish flattening
  • Discreet, skin-blurring patches
  • Satisfying impurity extraction
  • Consistent, high-quality adhesion
  • Limited deep-cystic efficacy
  • Occasional adhesive irritation
  • Edges can visibly lift
  • Residual circle discoloration

Hero Cosmetics earns high marks in reviews for Mighty Patch, which consistently flattens whiteheads overnight, curbs picking, and blends discreetly on skin—especially the Invisible+ and Surface patches. Reviews also flag limits: minimal effect on deep, cystic or under‑the‑skin pimples, occasional irritation or circle marks, edges that can lift, and frequent comparisons to cheaper hydrocolloid alternatives; packaging waste and price sensitivity recur.

  • These hydrocolloid patches are really good for pimples that are very close to the surface! Also, I tend to pick at my face, and these patches help my wounds heal faster and prevent more picking. They don’t do much for pimples that are deeper in the skin.

  • I love the idea behind these, but like most pimple patches they don’t work amazingly. I find that I have to use a couple patches on the same blemish for them to make much of a difference.

  • I am not someone who suffers from bad acne however, I do suffer from occasional breakouts and blemishes on my skin. I was hoping this product would help when the occasional pimple or blemish appeared on my skin. However, that was that was not the case. I left the patch on as directed and noticed upon waking up and removing it that the blemish/pimple had actually gotten bigger. I’ve had better results minimizing blemishes/pimples with other products.

  • I brought these from target to help when I would get breakouts during my and cycle and they work perfectly. I could use them at night and even during carline drop off with the kids. No one ever notices.

  • i love this brand sm💗 they’re great for pimples that you don’t wanna pop or pimples that aren’t ready to pop yet🙌🏾

  • The mighty patch micropoint is amazing. You put it on a pimple you feel forming BEFORE a whitehead appears and it wipes it out before it even comes to the surface. The original mighty patch is fine. The cosrx brand's patches are much more effective and comes with three sizes to a sheet and is more cost effective. If I cannot get any of the cosrx ones online I will turn to the mighty patch as my back up. I also like the fact that Target sells them, so it's convenient.

  • These are the best patches on the market. I appreciate how seamlessly they press the ick down to the point where it appears really natural. They don't come off while sleeping, and they work well on blackheads that are just so annoyingly not pimples, but also are trying to be! I 10/10 recommend, and will keep buying.

  • I hate to say it, but the Hero. patches have not worked for me. I've given them at least 3 chances (meaning I've bought the item 3 times) and nothing was pulled. I give it 2 stars because it did stay stuck, even through the night. Just a little disappointed I can't love the product as many people do.

    I wouldn't buy this unless you're OK to splurge or don't break out often. There are other patches out there that give you more patches for less cost. And, surprisingly, those did work for me.

  • I LOVE these pimple patches. I have tried so many different pimple patches and these seem to be the only ones that work!

  • I do love these and they do the job. The job is: preventing me from picking at my skin, preventing acne from scraping on bedsheets, reducing acne size. The only thing is there are cheaper options that pretty much do the same.

  • These helped to drastically reduce the size and appearance of a fresh pimple. My husband was initially skeptical but now steals from my supply.

    Feedback

    Very convenient this is FSA eligible. I had money I needed to spend and don’t think I would’ve bought it for myself otherwise.

  • Really great and super effective. Honestly, I was skeptical and I used them and I really wished I had these at my disposal during my teens and 20s.

    Feedback

    Absolutely worth the money, especially when traveling when you may not have your normal skincare routine with you!

  • I think their acne patches are nothing special. You can get cheaper ones on Amazon that do the exact same thing. However, I do like their nose patch because I can wear it overnight and it does a decent job at removing my white heads.

  • gets rid of pimples almost instantly and helps them stay clean + I love the packaging!

    Feedback

    they could definitely have pretty colors! not necessary, but cute! otherwise, no change needed!

  • My daughter uses the pimple patches and thinks they work well. They work best on pimples that have a white head. If it’s an under the skin pimple you must first open it for the patch to draw the stuff out.

  • I love these patches. They definitely speed heal pimples/zits. I wish they had existed when I was younger!

  • I personally love this product it keeps my acne in check

  • I had a baby a year ago and since pregnancy, these have been a lifesaver for my hormonal acne. I’ve never found a product that can literally such the juice out of a pimple. Love these, I cannot go without them.
