Reviews mention

  • 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 love Colloid patches for wound healing and covering acne spots. If you haven't tried, it's a must!

  • Bye bye pimples! These mighty little patches do all the heavy lifting when it comes to masking and eliminating an unsightly blemish. I can even wear them during the day because the edges blend right in with my skin making them nearly invisible.

  • I love love love this brand and I wish it was around when I was a teenager. They really do work (at least the pimple patches). They typically clear up any spots within a day or two without drying out my entire face. I love that I can pack them when I travel and how discrete they are. They are pricey but worth it to have them on hand.

  • These are my go to patches. Love them out of all the brand ms I’ve tried. They are the most effective.

    I purchased
  • I love these and wear these everyday - I love these for pimples

  • The mighty pimple patches are great for those pimples that are deep into the skin and they are a great way for me to avoid picking at my pimples. Super effective I am always buying more!

  • These patches are pretty pricey compared to other competitors but I like using their pimple patches and nose patches for skin concerns. It's pretty easy to use and delicate on the skin.

  • Love the Mighty Match, however, the Cosrx are equally as good and much cheaper.

  • Love the mighty patch! It works so well and is very easy to use. I always keep them on hand.

  • I resisted buying these for so long because I thought they would do absolutely nothing, but a friend convinced me to use one of hers one time and I was absolutely wrong! They are now a staple in my bathroom cabinet. I use acne prescription cream so I tend to only get the occasional big pimple which is exactly what these are perfect for!! I will note that they really work on pimples with a head, whereas they do nothing for those pesky under-the-skin cystic pimples (which makes sense). But overall I do feel that they pull the oil out of the pimple and it goes away much faster. I also think the patch prevents me from picking/popping the pimple which is a well-appreciated side effect!!

  • I have two teen girls so we go through a lot of pimple patches. These seemed to work great and they were not unhappy! But they also didn't ask me to purchase them special unless they were on sale.

  • I typically use a mighty pimple patches when I have a prominent pimple I need to get rid of fast. I usually leave one on overnight and I notice in the morning the pimple flattens out and is less noticeable. For me, the patches don't get rid of the pimple after one use but they do help, or make me feel like I'm being proactive. Sometimes, they leave a shine on the spot they were placed on from the adhesive stick, which does bother me but I can usually get rid of it by washing my face.

  • This does the job when I have a nasty zit that won’t go away!

  • So good to have these on hand for when those pesky pimples pop up. Use this overnight and it helps so much!

  • I’ve used their zit stickers for several years. The invisible one really does blend in and I feel comfortable going shopping, work, etc with it on my face. Green color corrector also works well, but is a tad drying. Great for the price compared to other options.

  • They work but they’re like the prehistoric version of the pimple stickers you can get from Korean skincare brands.

  • Hero Cosmetics has been such a lifesaver in my skincare routine. I struggle with hormonal acne on my lower face that is so stubborn that no amount of washing, or moisturizing helps. Luckily the mighty patch helps with overnight success and Instant gratification. They also have soothing balms to help recover a bad breakout, and full face patches. Love love love Hero Cosmetics.

  • It's amazing how well these little patches are able to pull even my deepest of pimples straight to the surface. Pro tip: make sure your skin is non-greasy when you apply!
