Reviews mention

  • Reliable overnight blemish flattening
  • Discreet, nearly invisible wear
  • Gentle, non-irritating hydrocolloid
  • Effective post-blemish rescue balm
  • Limited deep-cyst performance
  • Occasional thick patch edges
  • Adhesive leaves faint ring
  • Inconsistent stick on oily skin

Hero Cosmetics earns rave reviews for its Mighty Patch, which consistently flattens whiteheads overnight, speeds healing, and prevents picking—users call it a staple. Reviews also flag limitations: patches do little for deep, under-the-skin cysts, edges can be thick or lift, and some experience residue, redness, or post-mark rings; several note comparable, cheaper hydrocolloid alternatives. Overall, Hero is considered effective and discreet (especially Invisible+), with strong post-blemish care like Rescue Balm and helpful Micropoint options, but not a cure-all.

  • These patches have saved my face!!! Now they are NOT for any cysts or pimple that does not/will not have a head on them! If you've picked a pimple, you can simply do your skin care and then put a patch on it. By the morning, all of the excess liquid will have been absorbed! I love the patches.

  • I have incredibly stubborn white heads/black heads on my nose and chin, this suckers pull them right out…..With a continued skincare routine & these, literal baby skin

  • Mighty patch has saved my life. I’ve put on a spot in the morning while I worked and it diminished the pimple by the end of the day.

  • I’ve used plenty of acne patches and honestly, for the price I don’t see much of a difference. They are more likely to be pulled up with “gunky” but I hardly ever see much of a pimple reduction from it. I do have oily skin, so I’m never sure if it’s actually acne or sweat/oil it’s collecting. That said I do like it’s accessibility in the market. You can find it in most places that have acne spots- like Walmart, Target, Ulta and Amazon. And it’s price is pretty consistent across the board. I also like that the Hero brand offers a variety of sizes and a dark spot microdart that I have yet to try but have great hopes for.

  • 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!
