Reviews mention

  • Overnight, reliable blemish flattening
  • Discreet, skin-blurring patches
  • Satisfying impurity extraction
  • Consistent, high-quality adhesion
  • Limited deep-cystic efficacy
  • Occasional adhesive irritation
  • Edges can visibly lift
  • Residual circle discoloration

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.

    Feedback

    Definently recommend these when you feel a zit or pimple coming in, place it on before bed and in the morning GONE!! I swear by these, a MUST HAVE!!

  • great and effective skincare products. love not only their patches but their whole line

    Feedback

    a little more expensive than other hydrocolloid patches but definitely very effective.

  • I've used more effective acne patches and their other products are just ok.

    Feedback

    I think if you're new to skincare this is a great starter brand, but if you've had experience with others then you don't need to try it.

  • These products are my holy grail!!! They work incredibly, once you notice a pimple use these and it pulls them right out in a day or two. Even my husband has started to use them, they great!

    Feedback

    The only thing that could be better for me is if they came in a larger pack.

  • Cute packaging, and a product that really works! Love the little patches and all the shapes and sizes they come in. Super easy to use.

    Feedback

    Nothing

  • I keep purchasing these but honestly none of the products have worked for me! I don't know if it's my skin pigmentation or type (combination), but the different pimple patches, creams and hyperpigmintation products have done nothing for me. But, their marketing and branding is so good that I keep trying!

  • I love their nose and chin strips for when I feel like a need a good pore cleanout. I use them a few times a month and find them to be pretty effective. Their Mighty Patch also does a great job of bringing things to the surface. I tried their dark spot creams and haven't found them to be as effective, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. A big bonus is that these are available at Target, which makes it easier for me to pick them up.

    Feedback

    Overall, I'd say they are pretty good! The only downsides I've found have been the dark spot creams don't work well on me and sometimes the stickers have a hard time staying put. Otherwise, I love the products.

  • The best pimple patches on the market - I've tried loads of different brands and always go back to this. They're super sticky so they stay in place, do a great job of getting all the gunk out, and are almost invisible on the skin. Perfect size as well.

    Feedback

    More expensive than other brands, but worth the money in my opinion.

  • I like the pimple patches a lot! But don’t really work for more than 1-2 pimples but if you need a invisible patch for day to day this is the best!

  • I ma a huge fan of this brand and their pimple patches! I like to wear them overnight or during the day since I work from home. They really help reduce size, redness, and length of breakout.

    Feedback

    They are pricey, but worth it.

  • The mighty patch works like magic - it completely sucks away blemishes when work overnight.

    Feedback

    I did get a slight ring of irritation around where I wore my patch - while the zit went away, the surrounding skin was a little red and inflamed. I would still use again, knowing that I may need some color correction the next day.

  • Use these on my pimples that have come to a head and they work pretty well. Some have fallen off but for the most part think they are one of the better pimple patch options on the market.

    Feedback

    Would definitely recommend particularly some of their more unconventionally shaped patches.

  • Live this brand’s sunblock. This is the first sunblock that I look forward to putting on. The green color helps a little worth redness, the texture is a light cream that speaks in quickly and it did not irritate my skin like countless other brands.

  • What’s not to love?! I had to understand how to use this product, but once you figure it out… it works!!!

  • Amazing colloidal patches. They truly stick the best compared to other brands ive tried. They're so sticky that they've even survived taking showers with me.

    Feedback

    I wish they could collab with costco and we could get a huge pack at a discounted price.

    Loyal sub
  • I have been purchasing hero patches for a few years now and swear by them. I tried a cheaper brand and they just did not work as well. The options for pre/during/post pimple breakout work wonders. I have even worn them out and about without shame, especially when my breakout is so red the patch lessens the look already. Highly recommend, I use for all my pimple breakouts. I have found to be careful with how many times you use on one spot, it can easily dry out your skin (as what it’s supposed to do). I have cut them down, or used other sizes so the patch only covers my pimple spot.

    Feedback

    The pre-breakout patches don’t always work. Wish there was more explanation on what time/stage the patch should be used.

  • Mighty patch is great for those pimples that won't go away. Peeling them off in the morning is super satisfying as well!

  • ONLY PIMPLE PATCH THAT WORKS!

    Feedback

    Huge fan, only patch thats ever worked for me. The others are just simply not as good!

  • The mighty patches are awesome. I use them overnight and they bring blemishes to a head/completely remove the gunk from my pores. They're definitely effective and are helpful in keeping me from picking at my skin.

    Feedback

    I don’t think anything could be better about this product. I think the price point is reasonable for its efficacy.
