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 patches are a game changer for my adult acne! As soon as I feel pressure from a forming pimple, I put one of these on and let it work its magic until the spot is no longer painful and my pimple has been minimized. These also conceal pimples, making me feel less self conscious. I love that you can see them working their magic based on the amount of moisture they’ve absorbed.

Only for pimples with heads, especially whiteheads, which it emphasizes on the packaging. Doesn’t do anything for under-the-skin pimples. Great at pulling out the gunk. Any time I would get a pimple with a head before, I’d pop it and still see it return the next day, and war back and forth with it for a few days until it finally went away. Now I slap one of these on overnight and by morning all the gunk is pulled out and even the size and swelling are dramatically reduced. Makes it so much easier to deal with painful pimples too. I’ve only had to put a patch back on a spot a handful of times, and usually, because I didn’t quite leave it on long enough or because I wasn’t covering the whole pimple enough. Recommend only using this overnight. It will not do its full job if you take it off before the 6-8 hours (I say 8-hour range is best to prevent the pimple from coming back), so do not expect to use the patch for only 2 or 4 hours and see results; wait until the patch turns white from pulling out the gunk!
The original patch tends to work best for me, i always like to keep these on hand for when a flare-up sneaks up on me.
I was skeptical for so long because of the price. I was in a pinch one day with a HUGE pimple on my forehead, and these were all I could find in the store. My mind was completely changed! these work better than any other pimple patch i’ve used. The regular ones and the microdot ones are both super effective. my pimple was significantly smaller after wearing the regular patch for only a few hours!

Best pimple patches on the market. They really do suck all the gross gunk out of a blemish. So disgusting but satisfying at the same time. Helps so much to prevent picking skin.
I've used many different types of skin patches and these are by far my favorite especially for their price. I repurchase these every couple of months and always keep them handy.
I love these patches! I'll pop one on at night and I wake up with a clear spot. Definitely recommend these.
Great at helping the healing process, but you can find cheaper and effective products at tj maxx.
As someone who struggles with hormonal acne and skin picking , this brand means everything to me. Their large zit patches are amazing for sucking out gunk and have been a lifesaver for stopping me from picking. The green Rescue Balm is amazing for covering redness with or without concealer or foundation (don’t fall for the Essence product as a cheaper dupe, it’s not comparable!). The green sunscreen is also amazing! Blends in easily, decreases redness like the rescue balm, feels nice on the skin, and doesn’t pill. Love that it’s easily accessible from Target and CVS and frequently on sale!
The dark spot hero REALLY WORKS!!!
My teenage daughter uses these when she gets a blemish, but I honestly don’t really notice a difference. I think it’s great for covering a pimple to prevent touching or picking at it but it doesn’t seem to suck the pus put like it claims. I bought my daughter a couple boxes of these last Christmas as stocking stuffers and she still has one box left. They just don’t work enough for her to reach for them when she has any blemishes.
This is the only pimple patch brand that works for me. I love it!
Work pretty well and can find at most retailers!

I’ve only used the hydrocolloid patches, and they work decently for my acne, but a hot tip is that they can also be used as blister bandages and I like using them better than band-aid brand!
Tried most of their patches and I can never quite tell if it helps my zit or not. I still end up buying them at Target because they get such rave reviews, I just can’t tell if it’s really doing much. Bought the chin patch for zits and felt it was a little uncomfortable, going to stick to just the dots from now on.
Love their blackhead patches! Actually just ran out of the chin ones I need to order more!
Best pimple patches I’ve tried to date! Love this brand and honestly every product I’ve tried of theirs for acne prone ladies like myself. Highly recommend for overnight use or if you’re lounging around the house and want to clear up some blemishes! They absorb white heads and the stuff under the skin by morning for me :)
The OG pimple patch. I’m sure there are more advanced patches out there, but these are tried and true for me.

These seem to shorten the time a zit is on my face by a day or two. I like that they’re small enough that you can bring them with while traveling.
Overall these are pretty good. They don't always work for me, a lot of the time they'll just pull out the gunk but leave my skin bleeding where the pimple it. Other times thought hey have worked really well and practically made my pimple disappear completely.
