  • Reliable overnight blemish flattening
  • Discreet, nearly invisible wear
  • Gentle, non-irritating hydrocolloid
  • Effective post-blemish rescue balm
  • Limited deep-cyst performance
  • Occasional thick patch edges
  • Adhesive leaves faint ring
  • Inconsistent stick on oily skin

Hero Cosmetics earns rave reviews for its Mighty Patch, which consistently flattens whiteheads overnight, speeds healing, and prevents picking—users call it a staple. Reviews also flag limitations: patches do little for deep, under-the-skin cysts, edges can be thick or lift, and some experience residue, redness, or post-mark rings; several note comparable, cheaper hydrocolloid alternatives. Overall, Hero is considered effective and discreet (especially Invisible+), with strong post-blemish care like Rescue Balm and helpful Micropoint options, but not a cure-all.

  • Highly recommend Hero Cosmetics’ Superlight Sunscreen! The green tint cancels out redness, and my sensitive skin doesn’t break out from the product. I've tried several different SPF brands, but this one is my absolute favorite—I’ve repurchased it several times!

  • The patches are similar to other brands. I've used the Lightning Wand to successfully fade dark spots, and I also like the post-blemish Rescue Balm. The latter, however, usually has tiny granules in the cream that must be sifted out since they don't dissolve, which is a bit tiresome (see photo).

  • I really love the original mighty patches and the Brave Body moisturizer. I've had great results from both products! I wish that the price point was a bit lower on the mighty patches, but I have found them to be superior to similar, but less expensive products.

  • Love mighty patch! I’ve purchased many products from hero. The after blemish cream might be my favorite. It instantly treats the redness of your skin post pimple and helps with the healing process.

  • I love these little patches. They are discrete, actually work, and prevent me from picking at my skin. I especially love the ones with the micro needles. They work great on spots that are in need of a push to come to the surface.

  • I have used hero cosmetics for a few months now and they truly are hero products for acne! I am in love with the pimple patches and the sunscreen! Very clean and easy to use

  • I love having these on hand for breakouts. They usually work really well for blemishes and it's really satisfying to peel them off after wearing them overnight and seeing what it extracted from my skin. I find that they even work well for clogged pores. I use these (original) only at night because they're more noticeable than the invisible ones

    They usually work but not EVERY time.. sometimes it does absolutely nothing but maybe it depends on the type of blemish? I'm also not sure if these are particularly better than other brands on the market

  • I’ve officially replaced by Bioré nose strips with the Might Patch. They’re slightly more, but I like them better and feel I get more long lasting results.

  • I'm using the nose strips from Hero Cosmetics and to be honest I didn't felt a great change on my nose skin texture. And I feel that other options (clay masks for example) might be better for my skin complexion.

  • Never bought pimple patches before, but these work! The general pimple patches only work when a white head has appeared, and the microneedle patches are seriously lifesavers. Whenever I feel an acne bump on my chin, I put a microneedle patch on and it prevents it from coming to the surface.

  • Have yet to find a product that works as effectively as this guy does. I absolutely love it and it takes care of my typical monthly pitbull that comes to warn me of my period. They're nice and clear and are not very noticeable so I sometimes wear it during the day too.

  • I like their invisible patches. I find that I need to wear them for longer than 8 hours though. The larger rectangular ones are great for cutting into the shape you need but they're quite expensive. Pro tip: use these to cover mosquito bites and you won't itch them!

  • The Original Mighty Patch has saved my face time and time again! Anytime I feel a pimple coming on I throw one of these bad boys on it overnight and in the morning I can see what it extracted. These are also great because I work from home so if I wake up with a pimple I can throw one of these on and no one can tell on my Zoom calls because they are so small and clear. I definitely need to try more of their products!

  • Love these things! Great for helping clear pimples as they pop up- I like to use them overnight for the best possible results. Best for blemishes that have come to a head; help to clear and prevent scarring.

  • I have gone through multiple packs of the regular pimple patches but recently discovered the NOSE patches. I put one of these on and typically leave it on overnight and when i get up- its scary how much gross stuff it pulls from your pores! very satisfying though! highly rec <3

  • Hero patches are great for treating acne on the spot overnight. They are more durable than other brands and tend to stay on my skin overnight! I am a fan of Mighty Patch Invisible if I need to go to work and need a cover-up. I won’t go without!

  • I haven’t tried many pimple patches but these were good. Instead of popping a pimple I’ll just put a patch on and let it do its work. They work well and are good to use if you pop your pimples. I like the day and night variety pack, it also helps minimize the appearance of the pimple when it’s super red even though they’re kinda clear.

  • I love their Pimple correct clearing pen! This 2% Salicylic acid pen is my go to when I see the first sign of a bump forming or a pimple popping up. I dab a little on with the pen and the next day it's gone like magic. It also doesn't burn or sting like some so it's safe if you have sensitive skin. It's the only treatment I've tried that clears a pimple in the shortest time. Sorry this is a older picture.

  • LOVE these!! They do exactly what they say they will do and work quickly. I highly recommend them over some of the more expensive branded acne products on the market.

  • I LOOOOOOVE the hero mighty patches! They’re so great for zits. I love that I don’t have to pick at pimples anymore and it really does help them go away quickly.
