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.

  • I love these patches. Every time I have a pimple I put on of these on and it’s clear by the next day. They’re also super clear so you can wear them out of the house!

    Feedback

    Price could be better

  • These things work! Anytime I have a spot pop up I put a patch in overnight and in the morning everything is absorbed by the patch. A little costly for a single sheet but I’ll definitely continue using these.

  • Personally the pimple patches have not worked for me. They're pretty small so it's difficult to get them to stick on larger, "bumpier" pimples and I move around sometimes when I sleep so more often than not they've fallen off my face by the time I've woken up. I've had better luck with regular hydrocolloid bandages.

  • Purchased the original might patch for a few blemishes that I had on my face. Wore the patch over night and by morning, the blemish was gone. Simple modern packaging!

    Feedback

    Nothing!

  • Love this product, always works well on the occasional pimple, seems to speed up the process.

    Feedback

    I would like more size options both larger and smaller ones.

  • This is a great way to get rid of those pesky zits or blemishes that are just hanging around. It can blend in with your skin fairly well and is easy to apply.

    Feedback

    Maybe creating different colors for different colored skins?

  • These patches have completely changed my skincare routine and my relationship with acne. I used to put drying products on my breakouts or pick at them either on purpose or accidentally. I love that I can just put a patch on and completely forget about my breakout. It's protected from getting bumped, and it always improves by the time I remove the patch.

    Feedback

    I wish the micropoint patches came with more in a box.

  • These are always reliable! Do exactly what they say they will.

  • I love these patches! They absorb acne bacteria and pus (gross) without leaving a scar or irritating my skin.

    Feedback

    These patches don’t work on every zit - they mostly have to be whiteheads or previously popped ones. But work on most

  • They're a little thick. The original version of these work much better and they're much cheaper.

    Feedback

    They're thick and they don't work as nicely as COSRX.

  • I love having the mighty patches on hand for blemishes. I haven't used many of their other products, but I am always stocked with the patches. Helps with not picking, helps with blemishes not drying out, etc. I work from home, and I can use these to disguise any spots that are visible via Zoom, without having to apply any makeup, which would slow down the healing process.

    Feedback

    Wish they were a little cheaper, but worth the money!

  • I like these a lot! I think that for what they are, they are a little overhyped and overpriced though.

    Feedback

    They are generally effective, however I think that they are too expensive for the few you get in a box

  • Ummmmmm THESE FREAKIN WORK! had a big concert and a large eruption on my face the day before … slept with 4 lil dots and woke up to non existent pubescent zits!

  • These stickers do the trick in a pinch, especially for whiteheads. However, they do tend to leave a mark on the skin especially if you wear the stickers overnight.

  • There is nothing more satisfying than going to sleep with a huge pimple, and waking up to it almost completely gone. They work great, and yes you could just buy hydrocolloid patches and cut them up, but these are so convenient and I love the micro needle ones for the big pimples that you can feel coming under the skin but aren’t poppable yet

  • This is the Hero Cosmetics mighty patch duo and it includes 12 circular patches. I purchased this at Ulta for about $7.00. These patches have hydrocolloid and are suppose to help soak up oil/pimple gunk, helping speed up the life of the pimple. The patches are easy to apply and stay put until you remove them. I went thru 12 patches and didn’t see much of a difference. Not even with continued use of new patches on the same blemish. I barely saw anything on the patches. Unfortunately these didn’t help me much

  • These are great if you have a tendency to pick at your spots. It gives your acne a chance to heal.

  • The pimple patches work well. The nose strips did nothing for me.

    Feedback

    When I first tried the patch I loved it for new stubborn pimples. It reduces the size drastically. When I tried the nose patch nothing happened and I was shocked. When I tried it a second time the same thing happened.. nothing.

  • The best for pimples that are already popped that need some coverage. Definitely helps preventing picking further.

    Feedback

    It could be a bit stickier to really suck all the gunk out.

  • They stick and blend into the face well and improve skin overnight.

    Feedback

    wish there were more variety in sizes with different packages
