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.

  • Good product overall that works well.

    Feedback

    Too expensive, other brands are cheaper and work the same.

  • I don't get many zits anymore, but these are lifesavers for any that pop up.

  • I was skeptical on whether the patches would work, but I’m thoroughly impressed! These are a holy-grail in my routine and they really do work.

  • Good pimple stickers, but I feel like they aren't as sticky as other brands. They definitely work better on popped white heads and are great at clearing up painful cystic acne.

    Feedback

    I wish they would stick better on the skin.

  • Love the idea but can't say that it worked too well for me. I do not suffer from crazy acne but every once in a while get a spot. While these stopped me from picking my face, it did little to minimize the pimple.

    Feedback

    More treatment in the patch themselves? Not sure. But believe the formula could pack more of a punch.

  • Works as advertised and please note that the best effect is for blemishes with whiteheads. The size is great and doesn't irritate the skin! I can put the patch on overnight and wake up to a noticeably more clean skin after washing my face with some warm water.

    Feedback

    The one thing I would note is that the patch will leave a circular imprint on your skin at least for over an hour. It makes sense because the patch needs to stay on for at least a couple of hours but be aware of this when planning to use this product.

  • I do enjoy this product and it's price point, but unfortunately the peace out acne stickers performed significantly better for me and my skin. I did not find these to be prevent cystic acne breakouts and it took longer to heal a whitehead, compared to the peace out acne stickers.

  • I am a long time user of their mighty patches, and they have worked wonders. I have had pimples that are just under the surface, and I put one of these one and it makes the process much faster. I just got their nose patches, and I don't love them as much as the regular patches. The nose patches are very large and don't fit on my nose exactly. I also find that they come off at night (maybe due to me taking it off without knowing), but I have never had an issue with the small ones.

    Feedback

    Making different sizes of the nose patches for different sized noses

  • Works exactly as described and great for helping shorten the impact of a breakout.

  • I have used this brand for years now and I like it but I also go back and forth sometimes. I think it does work well for the intension! For anyone who gets acne this is a great product, I get zits once every couple weeks and they tend to stay for a long time and don’t heal the best. I use these to get rid of them.

    Feedback

    I think the price for this one is okay, there are usually deals at target on these but I think that there are other brands who do this, and do it better because of the size and price options.

  • Love the micropoint patches for under the skin pimples and their toner. Can’t wait to try more products.

  • I think these are great! I'm a huge fan of pimple patches and these are really effective and I love how easy and convenient they are. If I'm getting a pimple I usually put one on before I go to sleep and then by the time I wake up in the morning my pimple is gone.

  • Easy to apply, made my pimple less inflamed and made healing time quicker

    Feedback

    You do need to have an opening to the pimple which generally leads to picking

  • I was so surprised these actually worked! I’ve used similar products that don’t stick or work but this stayed on over night and pulled out all of the gunk without making my skin dry or irritated.

  • I really like these! They don’t necessarily work as well on my skin (combo/dry) as other brands’ but still a great product.

  • These patches have saved me from picking at pimples on my face. When I feel a blemish coming, I will slap one of these on before bed to help minimize problems. These do the job and I always have them on hand.
