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.

  • These do work to minimize surface-level acne, and as a bonus, they keep me from picking at my zits. It's no miracle, but it does reduce size and redness of the zit. And it's satisfying to see the white gunk in the morning.

  • I love these! They help me not pop my pimples/pick at my face. They are also very satisfying after you take them off. I’ve used the pimple and dark spot patches and love them!

  • I can't recommend these enough. Ever since I started using them I tell everyone about them! I swear they work like magic. I sleep with one covering a pimple and the next day there is so much improvement, after 2 days almost gone! I love these!

  • I LOVEEE these. When I have a pimple that’s a white head I put it on and it’s mostly gone by morning!

  • I love the pimple patches - they work so quickly and effectively. An absolute must for my hormonal pimples to minimize pain. The rescue balm is also such a lifesaver and immediately reduces redness. Great formulation, great products, great prices!

  • So unfortunately I am someone with a very oily face, and I have tried alot of things to get the oil production down. I originally found this product while searching for products that help with this issue, so I tried some of the spot treatment patches and they helped majority! When I would get what I call grounders(under the skin pimples with tons of pressure) I would one of the spot treatments on before bed and by the next morning all the pressure was gone, truly helps alot.

    I think it would be really awesome to offer a full face mask set, last time I checked I could order separate patches for my face but I couldn't fine a whole face kit in one package.

  • These are great, and I feel like they actually work. You never know, though, but I do trust the gunk they pull out of my pores. A little pricey but make me feel better when I have a big pimple.

  • The patches are really good, nice packaging. I usually put them overnight to reduce my whiteheads and in two nights it’s almost always gone! I have tried other brands too and I don’t see any major differences - but no complaints!

  • 🔥 pimple patches. Do the job and relieve the pain for cystic acne.

  • I used these pimple patches and they pretty much cleared my pimple in about 4 hours. If I would’ve left it longer it would’ve got every bit of of it but for that amount of time and the results I got I am impressed

  • Everyone loves the pimple patches. My favorite is the Green Rescue Balm!! Perfectly moisturizing and takes the red hue out of my skin. It’s the only pigmented product I trust to use on my entire face.

    Thanks for making bigger sizes of much loved products!

  • My go to for years. Stops you from picking at your face and keeps whiteheads manageable.

    I think that travel size pimple patch on smaller sheets would be helpful. Or maybe patches that target different types of skin problems.

  • It was so amazing! I used one for a white head and it worked overnight! All you have to do it wait at least 8 hours( I left mine overnight) and peel it off. It may take more than one but for me, it was only one. My sister recommended these and I was shocked. I loved them sooooo much

  • Mixed results using these. I know they're only meant to work on surface acne, but even then, some would go away within a day or two while others wouldn't really change at all. They might be good for cleaning out problem spots, but there's no overnight success here - probably something a good suction or facewash could take care of too - and more cost-friendly. I'll probably buy at least once more before trying something different.

  • Really helps new pimples and protects old blemishes if I'm picked at them. Great if you touch your face.

  • This product works fine, it keeps me from picking my face.

    Feedback

    Allowed me to let the pimple heal naturally.

  • These work magic for pimples (but only ones that are ready to pop--otherwise they don't do much). They are also somewhat helpful to prevent picking for unpoppable pimples just because something is covering up the zit. Also very easy to use and discrete enough to wear during the day (depending on placement/personal preference).

    Feedback

    My only comment is the packaging is a bit excessive--probably doesn't need all the plastic in addition to the cardboard box etc.

  • super easy to use and i personally like using them at night for when i go to bed. truly takes care of the situation in my sleep and when i wake up blemishes and zits are significantly smaller which is always a plus
