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.

  • These work well and I appreciate how slim they are. They are expensive compared to other brands though. Well-stocked at Target though, which makes it convenient.

  • I can't leave home without them now! Years of mask wearing has given me a new, pernicious type of acne that, fortunately, responds very well to the Mighty Patch and makes me feel much more comfortable going out with some coverage and treatment all in one.

  • I have tried a few trending products from this brand and the best one I found were the Mighty Hero acne patches. I have acne-prone skin and these patches helped me not pick on them and reduced scarring over time. The other products were not as impressive.

  • I have relied on The Original Mighty Patch to control my acne breakouts for YEARS. It's not only effective at minimizing the look of breakouts and expediting healing time, but also super satisfying to see all the gunk that's pulled out. They are honestly the only good part of getting a breakout. Plus, they're easy to travel with and work quickly. Highly recommend.

  • Love this product. If you suffer from white heads this is a game changer.

    Mighty Patch can sometimes cause breaking on the blemish after it is used. The product would benefit from clearer instructions on how to remove the product without popping the blemish it was trying to heal.

  • This is just an excellent brand overall. I’ve tried a few of their products and have yet to be disappointed. The first product I tried was the microdart patches, as an alternative to the (IMO) overpriced Zitsticka patches. The Hero version works just as well for cystic acne at about 60% of the cost (and significantly less packaging!). I then tried the post-blemish rescue balm – incredible if you have dry but acne-prone skin. To be able to use such a thick, nourishing cream without concerns of breaking out is an incredible thing! Finally, the rescue balm with redness correction is probably my favorite product from Hero so far. It starts out green and then slowly blends into the natural tone of my skin. It does a great job cancelling out redness without being detectable as makeup on the skin. I’m not sure how it would work for deeper skin tones, but I know they have another color-correcting cream specifically designed for deeper skin tones. The only thing I’ve tried and didn’t love was the Brave Body shower wash. It was perfectly effective, but the scent kind of reminded me of Axe Body Spray. Overall, I think this brand puts out effective products at reasonable prices, and I love how accessible it is to purchase at stores like Ulta or Target.

    I would love to be able to buy a large box of the microdart patches. I know I could just buy multiple boxes, but a box of 24 or so would be amazing in terms of less packaging. It could also be offered at a slight discount compared to 4 boxes of 6 :-)

  • These are great for a very specific type of acne. However, they are a great help for those that "pick" and they help to heal much faster. They are rather expensive for what they are though.

    Feedback

    Different size options would be great.

  • As a popper of pimples that has helped me stop picking and actually help speed up the life span of a breakout. Always have this at home!

  • Usually great sticking power. Good variety of sizes and they work!

    Feedback

    Given the price point, I wish there were a few more per pack. Especially because user error comes into play and sometimes they just won’t stick to the face for whatever reason.

  • I was skeptical but works really well and I love that I can see the goop it’s extracting

    Feedback

    More sizing would be nice.

  • Great product and get's rid of pimples almost overnight.

  • I have only tried the pimple patches, but i'm beyond impressed. I work for a skincare company myself and was a little skeptical at first to be honest. I first tried it on a small painful pimple before bed and the next morning it was completely gone. What is this wizardry?!?! 5 stars on the OG patches!

    Feedback

    The strips seems to be less effective than the small circle patches

  • I love using these any time a pimple shows up. I cover it with one of these patches, and I'm less likely to pick at it. I like to wear them to bed so they can work their magic while I sleep.

  • The mighty patch is incredible. Works like a charm. I wish these existed when I was in high school and really needed them :’(

  • I used these patches all of the time. These and the Corsx ones are amazing. I used the star shaped ones and they just felt like stickers. Nothing much to help me with the rare break out.

    Feedback

    Better packaging, maybe recyclable packaging that is smaller. The box seems to big for the amount of patches.

  • some of the pimple patches have worked really great for me, and others haven’t worked at all. i haven’t quite figured out why, but when they have worked they’ve been amazing!

  • Works so well! I just wish there were better instructions.

    Feedback

    Better instructions

  • I had tried other pimple patches before and never worked until I tried these and actually helped clear my breakouts! I always have a pack at home in case I feel a pimple coming out and these patches get the job done overnight or at the most, for 2 nights.

  • These patches work really well. I've used the COSRX ones for years and recently switched to these. ALthough they are slightly more expensive, I feel that they work faster at sucking the gunk out of your acne spots. Sometimes it pulls from a spot I didn't even know existed, which saves me from having to deal with a pimple later on. Love this product, and definitely recommend it!

    This brand is a little more expensive compared to some Korean skincare brands, but it works well. I think they could vary the sizes of their stickers more for use with different-sized pimples. Having a variety pack of different sizes would be really convenient for the user.

  • Love the Forceshield SPF, Supercharged Reset Mist and the Original Mighty Patch + Micropoint for Blemishes! My absolute favorite product though is the Rescue balm and I've heard great things about the red correct one.
