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 were great to cover pimples so I wouldn’t keep touching them. I found it hard to tell if they really helped my pimples heal faster because I noticed the time frame was similar to if I’d just let it do it’s thing on it’s own. Great packaging and ease of use!

    Not completely sold on product functionality

  • A good range of sizes for all types of blemishes. Pretty invisible PLUS you can use your FSA money on them!

  • I have used the patches a few times. When the blemish is in a flat/large area I think it works pretty well at removing the pimple and keeping it clean. However, if you have oily skin or you sweat it comes off pretty easily.

    If there is any way to improve the adhesive property

  • I don't believe in "miracle" solutions for skincare and know that most things take time and patience. This product truly is a miracle product when you need to fix a pimple quickly! It doesn't work completely overnight but definitely helps reduce and heal in 2-3 days versus 1-2 weeks.

    Feedback

    The only downside to these is it can dry out your skin around the problem area if left on too long!

  • Absolutely love!! I’m someone who needs a barrier or a reason to stop myself from picking/popping my pimples. Now that I have these I wait till my pimple is ready to pop and slap one of these on. They help extract all the gunk and don’t leave a scar.

  • I use these all the time. Anytime I have a pimple, I put these on top to help me not pick at my pimples. They don't actually help that much at removing all the gunk, but it does help with not messing with them.

    Feedback

    Nothing. They're great to me.

  • I really love it!! It is honest when it says that it obvious doesn’t always work and pick up white heads but I would say 90% of the time it does!

    Feedback

    Nothing really

  • I've tried the mighty patch but I found them REALLY thick compared to what you could get on Amazon. When I used this I found that my hair kept getting stuck around the edges. Also, 36 patches don't really last long if you use multiple every day. They do the job though, get all that gross stuff out. After a while, I ended up using this at night time or when I was staying at home so that I don't pick at my pimple.

    Feedback

    It could be thinner around the edges and more invisible for daily use.

  • these work really well to clear out white heads, but only once they’ve fully come to a head, if they are still a bit below the surface of the skin, using a patch on that pimple is a waste of time.

  • Have tried the mighty patch original (so cant speak for any other products) but these are my holy grail -- I will slap one on a whitehead that I have popped and it will draw out all the gunk that otherwise I would spend hours digging at. Haven't seen them help with blackheads but do also help with cystic (under the skin) pimples. In general though I am lucky to have pretty clear skin so not sure how these would work if you have more severe acne problems or sensitive skin.

    Feedback

    all good!

  • Love this product. Worked wonders for me. Always good to have in your arsenal specially when traveling.

    Feedback

    Nothing to improve

  • Have only used the Mighty Patch and Mighty Patch Nose. So great at disappearing zits overnight as preventative or damage control treatment. Satisfying to peel off and see all the gunk cleaned out.

    Feedback

    High price point for how much you get. Mighty Patch Nose is doesn't fit my (Asian) nose.

  • The best pimple patches. They stay on all night long.

    Feedback

    An option to buy in bulk would be nice.

  • The original patches are pretty great! I've tried a few pimple patch brands and I think Mighty Patch is the best. I see the best and quickest results. While they're not miracle workers, they do create real results.

  • Way better than trying to pop your pimples. My boyfriend and I both use this. Honestly they are so clear I forget I have it on.

    Feedback

    This but a nose strip would be awesome to try.

  • Between the SPF's and the percent solutions of chemicals I couldn't pronounce, skin care can be an incredible daunting area to get into. Hero cosmetics feels refreshing to use with easy to understand packaging and very specific goals that their products aim to address. I've used their mighty patch and dark spot serum wand and both work a solid 85% of the time. To see this brand become more accessible in price and in it's emerging presence in retail stores like Target is quite satisfying and I look forward to seeing the other products they put out

    There are a few instances where their products may not work. These circumstances can be hit or miss and vary from person to person.

  • I love the mighty patches from Hero. I have pretty bad hormonal acne, but when I put these on overnights my blemishes diminish or they go away.

    Feedback

    These can be a bit expensive, but I think they are totally worth the price!

  • Pros: Compact packaging, product is easy to use, prevented me from touch blemishes Cons: Only mildly effective at healing blemishes

  • I was pretty skeptical but this patch did exactly what it promised. I placed the patch on my massive pimple and by the next morning the patch was full and the pimple was empty.

    Bigger to cover more area
