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.

  • Absolutely love these! They work like magic. Before a fun event having a pimple come up randomly is so stressful! But putting a patch on it for a few hours it’s all gone and you’re stress free!!

  • These patches do wonders especially for premenstrual volcanic like zits! I really love!

  • When you can get the patches to stay on your face they really helped my acne. The patches stay on my face really well, but they also stay on their sheet really well too. I found myself throwing out a few patches before I could use them because they got deformed and lost their shape while I was trying to get them off the sheet.

    Feedback

    Make it easier to get the patches off of their sheet.

  • I have tried all of the different patches from Hero and I love them all. They actually work! My favorite is the micropoint patches. Those things work like a charm every time.

    Feedback

    More patches in the box especially for the micropoint patches. Way too few in a box.

  • I prefer other brands of Korean pimple patches. I got these on sale and was using them for a while, but didn't notice much of a difference. My face gets a bit oily and these didn't stick on my face that well and would peel off too easily. When they did stick on, they stuck on *too* well and would leave a circular residue on my face :( I do like their post-acne cream though.

    Feedback

    The texture is weird and the stickers are a little too thick. If they were thinner and more transparent, I would feel more comfortable wearing them outside. The adhesiveness could be better as well.

  • Best patch around . Fantastic company

  • Hands down, love that its so accessible! I can order it online and delivered to my destination if I'm in a pinch or run to my nearest Target/drugstore to find it just barely in stock because it's THAT good. I'll immediately throw a patch on if I the slightest inkling that I have a not-so-friendly neighbor about to encroach on my space. In the first 24 hours, the redness and size is overall diminished and I can rest assure that my little unwanted friend will be on its way off my face the next day.

  • Spots looks much better the next day. Works as intended!

  • Feel like it didn't do much. Prevented me from picking with my pimple but when attempting to remove the patch it pulls out the whitehead with it which defeats the purpose.

  • Love this product it helps my acne so well

  • i tried the pimple patches from hero at target. i love them, i felt like the were affordable compared to other ones and they worked the same if not better then the higher priced ones.

    nothing!

  • Love these! I always keep them on me. They get rid of pimples so fast perfect for emergencies!!

  • Loved the effects it had on my pimples. Really worked in disappearing any inflammation in such a short time! Would definitively buy again!

  • These are my go to patches when I get an annoying pimple! It literally minimizes the pimple even those ingrown ones that hurt when you touch them. I love how it gets all the gunk out and gets rid of redness.

    A few more patches would be awesome for the price!

  • These are by far the best pimple patches I’ve used in my experience. They stay on very well. I usually keep them on over night and they are always still on in the morning.

    Feedback

    The only downfall is the price. They are pretty expensive for how many you get in a pack.

  • I’ve used all different versions of Hero’s pimple patches and they are the best out there. The patches stay on even with oily skin (same cannot be said for other brands) and each type works great!

    Feedback

    Would be nice if there was a case to put patches in, similar to star face

  • It works!! I love it, not the cheapest option out there but pretty straight forward

    Feedback

    Sometimes sticks to my fingers the patches and I waste one, but not sure how else it can be better

  • I love this patches. They soak up my larger pimples and in a few days they’re gone!

  • Amazing use them overnight pimples went down

    Feedback

    Less plastic packaging

  • Mighty Patch Original is ok... it's kinda thick and only usable at nighttime. There are way better options for an invisible look from many other brands. If you are in Australia, Mecca makes the best ones with the best value for money.

    Feedback

    Adhesive is a bit leaky - it spreads. original is too thick, even for nighttime use. I'd rather just but 1 kind for day AND night.
