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.

  • I love these!! I’ve used more expensive pimple patches in the past and Hero is just as good. Also, it doesn’t budge. It’s so sticky!

    Feedback

    Make patches for darker skin tones!

  • Love these. Always keep a pack on hand for me and my husband. We're in our 30's but still the occasional surprise will arise - at the first sign, I slap one of these on at night and can usually nip it in two nights before it even starts.

    Feedback

    I wish there was a resealable Ziploc style edge as I like to keep them sterile and fresh between uses.

  • I never struggled with acne until I was adult and these have transformed my life! Whenever I get a white head I rush to the store to grab these

    Feedback

    I don’t LOVE the packaging but the product is flawless.

  • Worked well to absorb the oil of a headed zit. Would not recommend on cystic acne as it does not seem to do much.

    Feedback

    Medicated patches

  • Love this product, it works really well and I would definitely recommend it to someone who’s not sure about if they want to buy it.

    Feedback

    The patches really only work if your pimple has already gotten a whitehead

  • Great brand! Very affordable and very effective products too, I love their pimple patches :)

    Feedback

    No notes!

  • Not as effective as other brands, I’m not sure what it is but other brands just always get more gunk out.

    Feedback

    Effectiveness

  • Overall great product, helpful for spot treatments.

    Feedback

    Would prefer less plastic!

  • I genuinely love this brand. The pimple patches work well the reduce inflammation (it doesn't cure the pimple but it does seem to move the process along much faster). These are my go to when I have a blemish.

    Feedback

    I would like a larger variety of patch sizes.

  • Overall I really want to buy into the fact they work but truthfully I think they are a glorified tool to keep me from picking. I’ve notice the “build up” that you see on these when you take them off comes from any wet surface. Your skin is naturally oily - I don’t think this pulls out my breakouts but I will say after popping a pimple I think this might help to heal it quicker.

    Feedback

    I’m not sure there’s a way to improve - I think they have a great online presence and I’d call this an effective acne treatment tool (even if it doesn’t do exactly what it says for me!)

  • Does not work for all pimplies!

    Feedback

    Case for travel would be helpful

  • Best pimple patches ever. The ones with the mircopoint is the best for blind pimples.

    Feedback

    Price point, they are expensive for one a few patches

  • They work okay, but definitely not the best acne treatment I’ve tried.

    Feedback

    N/A

  • Simple, effective, and fool-proof! Have seen visible improvement after one use.

  • Great patches for using overnight to shrink the size of a pimple. I swear by these and they are constantly on my re-purchase list.

    Feedback

    It would be nice if there was a small container you could store them in I stead of having the sheets laying around. It makes it easy to lose them since they’re clear.

  • It works so well every single time. Sometimes the cheaper options won't do anything for me, but these always do.

    Feedback

    A little cheaper would be great, it's hard to justify buying for someone with lots of breakouts.

  • I love this brand of skincare, the pimple patches work wonders whenever I take it off I’m amazed by how much oil and gunk was in my skin!

  • These are fantastic. If you are someone who picks at blemishes or uses a lot of topicals this is a whole grail product. It keeps you from picking and is not overly drying. Really helps diminish the look of blemishes the next day.

    Feedback

    The price point could be better, maybe a few dollars. That deters me from constantly purchasing also the stickers can fold if you don’t pull them “just right” when removing from the packaging.

  • I love these patches. They’re perfect to wear overnight and they’re sheer enough to wear during the day. When I have a pimple I just throw one of these on and it definitely helps clear it up.

    Feedback

    My only critique is that I wish the packaging was resealable.
