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.

  • This has been my 4th repurchase of hero patches. They are definitely worth the money and do the job. The box comes with a lot inside and can last a long time.

  • I have used The Original Mighty Pacthes for about 6 months now and they work really well and are pretty affordable. I have also used a couple of their diffrent products like the lighting wand and have liked them but have found better products on the market.

    I've used the Mighty Patches with micropoints with little to no results, I've retried multiple times and without a doubt they will just fall off of my face :/

  • These mighty patches are like therapy for the skin. They get to the root of your pimple problem and dig deep to bring it all to the surface. I like to wear these throughout the day because they blend in to the skin and neutralize any discoloration that may be present with an active bump. The packaging is thin enough that you can fit these into the smallest of medicine cabinets or purses.

    These are already magic in a bottle. I just need an entire sheet mask of them.

  • I suffer from hormonal acne and these mighty patches help me not pick at my acne. They do work, especially to bring the pus to the top of the skin and I feel it helps heal the pimple faster.

    Feedback

    If you don't peel them off correctly form the package, they fold onto each other and when you try sticking it to the skin it doesn't do that good of a job.

  • Definitely helped me with my pimples! Probably the only brand that I trust with my acne

    Feedback

    The sizing could be improved. It’s very rare that I would need the super tiny ones the provide. I only end up using the large/medium ones.

  • Mighty patch is a standard hydrocolloid patch that helps to heal acne faster. Personally, I prefer korean brands such as cosrx or olive young, as their patches are thinner, cheaper, and more adhesive, but as a consumer in the states, Hero Cosmetics is more accessible in a pinch. Their micropoint for blemishes retails for $12 for a pack of 6, but claims to fight emerging pimples with salicylic acid. I personally don't feel like they made a difference, even when applied to very early-stage blemishes, so I would not repurchase those.

    For what it is, the mightypatch line is a bit overpriced. The packaging is a little bit excessive as well, I'd like to see a sleeve or something that is less bulky and reduces waste.

  • I thought it was good! it would help with with white heads and honestly helped with redness! Bought it on a whim when I had some extra cash, and wasn't disappointed.

    Feedback

    Only thing I didn't like was once you took it off skin felt "oily" if you can call it that; of course washing your face can clear that up but works good! I'd say would be nice to get a little more and maybe make packaging smaller.

  • I religiously use these patches. They clear up any blemish in a night and it’s incredibly satisfying.

  • This product didn’t work for me. It did stay on my skin, but it didn’t clear up any pimples or acne.

  • I love it!! These patches are the best in the game. Being in your late 20s and having random pimples show up is the worst, these patches always save the day.

    Feedback

    maybe size variability but overall love the product

  • These are great for the big juicy pimples! They make my pimples heal faster and work really well.

    Feedback

    The only thing I didn't love was that it does not work on the deep under-the-skin pimples.

  • Never worked for my breakouts & had issues with it sticking / staying put

    Feedback

    Create a stronger formula & different dot sizes

  • They really work! They're so much cheaper and more effective than the other pimple sticker brands I've tried. I always make the trip to pick these up over other brands.

  • Definitely worked as advertised!!

    Feedback

    I have very sensitive skin and I have had a couple reactions to these. Not every time or everywhere but occasionally.

  • I have used their acne cream and their mighty patches. I think its a great product and super affordable

    Feedback

    The acne cream does separate and I would like for more quality control in that. product

  • Love this! Super easy to use and works like a dream :-)

    Feedback

    I would say when I remove the patch I do get a little dry in the area but this isn’t something that a good moisturizer/serum can’t fix.

  • Found these at target initially and just grabbed some to try, and THANK GOD. I don’t entirely know how it works but once you have a breakout that reaches the stage of having a tip showing you slap one of these over it and in a few hours it’s all gone. They also sell some that are for breakouts that haven’t surfaced yet, and it’s a light blue color, but I haven’t had much success with that. Absolutely love this one tho. It does wonders!

  • I really love the sizing of this product. It is the perfect size. I have recommended this product to clients often because it's so easy to find at Target. Great to have always in the house.

    Feedback

    I wish you guys sold in larger quantities at a discounted rate. I do buy in bulk and unfortunately because of value I prefer Cosrx.

  • Works pretty great, I will say it only works on fully formed whiteheads. If you try to use it before they’re just about ready to burst it really does nothing.

  • Absolutely loved them. Reduces redness and puffiness and pretty sheer when on the skin.
