  • Overnight, effective extraction
  • Discreet, invisible patches
  • Comfortable, secure adhesion
  • Soothing, restorative balm
  • Limited deep pimple efficacy
  • Occasional adhesive irritation
  • Bulky, raised edges
  • Inconsistent oily-skin stick

Hero Cosmetics earns strong reviews for Mighty Patch, which visibly flattens whiteheads overnight, curbs picking, and blends well on skin; many say it’s the only patch that reliably “gets the gunk” and prevents scarring. Reviews also flag limits: hydrocolloid patches don’t help deep, under‑the‑skin or early‑stage cystic pimples, adhesion can lift on oily skin, edges can look thick, and several note comparable cheaper alternatives and occasional irritation or lingering marks.

  • I mean...She understood the assignment! These really are a life saver. I have very sensitive skin and these work beautifully.

  • Unremarkable for the price in my opinion. The patches work, but just as well as any other hydrocolloid patch. I haven't found their rescue spot treatment to be all that effective either. I just buy the store brand patches now--I don't miss the Hero Cosmetics ones.

  • Very convenient for fast healing especially those big cysts. They work a lot better for white heads but I still find that using them on cysts for a few days does help with redness and reduces the chances of them scaring/leaving marks, plus it helps to not pick at them! The patches are a good size as well.

  • love these pimple patches; a little thicker than some other brands and occasionally peel up but solid overall

  • I went to their pop-up at the Allure store in NYC and got their Supercharged line and Mighty Patches in a goodie bag. I really like their Mighty Patches a lot. They definitely work very well, stay on, and are comfortable to wear even overnight. Among the many different hydrocolloid patch brands on the market right now, this one is definitely one of the better ones that I have tried. My favorite one? No. But definitely better than most (and easily accessible in Target too!) The Supercharged mist comes in a cute, compact bottle with a secure lid. The mist was very fine and fresh and leaves a moisturizing layer that sits on top of your face even after the spray has dried. If you're into that, this could definitely be for you. I also took it with me on the plane and it stayed secure in my bag.

  • I bought the little combo pack from Target‘s travel cosmetics aisle and it worked really well - I don’t get pimples often but now I use them even when I just feel one forming to avoid picking at it and making things worse. They’re really easy to use and most importantly small enough to bring anywhere. Also barely noticeable to me or other people.

    I would definitely ensure that the patches are sealed individually. Having an open packaging once you use one just feels not as clean as I’d like it to be

  • Hero mighty patches are great for stubborn pimples or acne. Takes care of it overnight and prevents picking.

  • My favorite lifesaving beauty product!!!!! Nothing better than these magical patches.

    Cheaper prices!

  • I have been using different brands of these patches for a long time, and while it was years ago, the Mighty Patch may have been the first acne patch I used. And it was definitely a magical experience to start using them. Getting to peel a patch off and see the residue that came off of your face is pretty satisfying. Fast forward a few years, and I have tried several other brands of these patches, pretty much all are exactly the same, but just cheaper. If all have the same effect and will come with more patches for the same price or less, then unless you are very attached to this brand, I don't really see a reason to buy this brand speficially. But without taking price into account, they do their job well, and deserve a good rating.

    Lower the price of your products, which is definitely possible.

  • Giving them five points for their extra-large hydrocolloid patches that are super sticky and effective. That's their best product.

  • Seems like just about everyone uses these patches now. They are fantastic and definitely work. Gotta give it to the brand for capitalizing on a product that has been around for decades. Just crazy because they increased the price 100 fold by making them into tiny circles. Wish they'd use less packaging.

  • I received the mighty patch as a gift from my daughter and it’s definitely a game changer.

  • These are lifesavers when you have a breakout! I typically put these on at night and by the morning it has extracted much of the goo, leaves it relatively flat, and the red dissipated.

  • Patches are easy to use and and effective in drawing out blemishes. I was hoping for a little more dramatic difference in lightening dark marks. I will buy again.

  • These worked great for me! I love the invisible ones because you can’t even tell that you’re wearing it. Works so much quicker than any spot treatment zit cream I’ve tried over the counter.
