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.

  • Overall it was a really useful product! Any time I have a zit that is very irritated or coming to a head I place one of these patches on them. It does usually take me at least two patches to see progress but that is worth it to me since I greatly reduce the risk of picking/scaring my skin.

    The packaging, specifically the plastic part that patches are placed on, are a bit difficult to pull off. You need to really look and see which side you are pulling off of so you don't touch the side that is supposed to go on your face.

  • Overnight improvement to my blemishes! I work in healthcare and would wear these underneath my mask and had such an improvement to blemishes along the jawline.

    Feedback

    Packaging- I often found I wasted a few trying to remove them from the clear film.

  • Incredible product. I haven’t popped a pimple since I discovered these patches. I just stick them on a fresh white head and a couple hours later it completely minimizes and clears the zit. 10/10 would highly recommend.

    Make all the patches invisible!!!

  • I love these patches since I lean towards picking. These save my skin from the picking or stressing about picking. I like the invisible + ones so much I wear them during the day out and on errands.

  • i’ve used their pimple patches before and i really liked them! giving them a 4 though because i contacted them about a brand deal/UGC opp and they said they were interested and directed me to an email, however the email i got back was about joining their ambassador program instead :(

  • I go back and forth about these. While I think you could just buy these as bandages and cut to size - I do appreciate the convenience. But I’m not sold? I wonder really what’s being extracted if it’s gunk or just moisture. Helps the most for not picking your face.

    Maybe they can find something besides plastic to stick their patches to.

  • I have suffered with acne my whole life and have tried several patches over the years. These are one of my top picks and they are at target so easy to purchase!

    Feedback

    Different size patches for larger or smaller pimples.

  • Probably my favorite hydrocolloid patches! They come in various sizes and finishes, and you can absolutely see the gunk coming out!

  • Their acne patches are the best I've used, especially the Invisible ones. Great value for one of the only skincare products I've found that will actually make acne look better within 24 hours. Feels better for my skin to cover acne with these vs makeup, and keeps me from picking at it.

    Feedback

    I've never found their pre-acne product effective - felt like it did nothing or irritated my skin.

  • I have tried a variety of Acne patches and the Hero Cosmetics ones are the ones that have worked best! They are not noticeable so I even wear them when out!

    Feedback

    Have them in different skin tones.

  • The original for a reason. Mighty Patch works in a way that patches just can't. Way better than the more expensive Patchology or Star Face patches.

    Feedback

    Bigger packs!

  • I've only tried their pimple patches, but they work SO GOOD.

    Feedback

    nothing I can think of right now

  • I love the added spikes on their pimple patches to deliver the serum deeper in. It's an awesome value pimple patch compared to other brands, but strong enough to get some effect.

    Feedback

    It's not as sharp as the Dr.Jart patches that are also slightly more effective.

  • Easy to use, non irritating, sticks on well and removed the gunk out. Wish it was more transparent for day time use.

    Feedback

    More transparent for day time use.

  • I love this brand for pimple patches. They work so well and in a matter of hours. They have never failed me and I absolutely adore them. They are also pretty cheap.

    Feedback

    Nothing at all.

  • It does what it does. I have seen a blemish go away overnight with these.

    Feedback

    There is a Korean brand that does the same thing but for cheaper. COSRX

  • Absolutely love the patches they do what they claim to do! The patches really suck out all the gunk and shrink most pimples.

    i do wish the packing was less wasteful
