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 have 3 young adults in my home and I will also occasionally have an isolated pimple. We all use these patches regularly and every single time I’m amazed! Overnight the blemish is GONE! Where were these when I was a teen???!!!!

    Feedback

    Nothing. Love these.

  • Works just as well as other brands.

    Feedback

    More size selection

  • These are the best acne patches on the market. So effective and not irritating on sensitive skin.

  • Pimple patches work very well.

    Feedback

    There are cheaper pimple patches out there that work the same.

  • These are great if you accidentally scratch a pimple and want to do some easy repair to the skin. I did not see a big improvement on pimples that had not popped, those seemed to remain the same overnight. However I keep them around for those accidental pimple scratches.

    Feedback

    better sticking power. These seem to fall off during sleep

  • I love hero cosmetics! I think their acne dots are amazing and do such a good job, I love their lighting wand and their rescue balm. All 3 products have done a great job helping my acne and acne scarring.

    Feedback

    The rescue balm in green turned orange on my fair skin. Not sure if that’s just the nature of green color corrector but if there’s a way to fix that, that would be great!

  • This is a life saver when you get that stubborn pimple that you need to get rid of ASAP, for the cost you get a lot of patches which is nice. The daytime patches are so thin you can’t even tell you are wearing them

    Feedback

    I always travel with a few of these, I can just put them in my makeup bag and go

  • I like that it works both to cover up a blemish and help cure the blemish

    Feedback

    I would be nice if you could pair with other skin care. At present your skin must be clean and dry to get the patch to stick, but it would be nice to be able to put on a serum and then the patch.

  • These patches are very subtle, very nice to keep on the face without it being highly obvious. The multitude of sizes is good, but it hasn't been the most effective product I've tried for these patches, but they certainly work.

    Feedback

    I think they could be stronger. I've tried other brand versions of this and found them a lot better at helping with breakouts without constantly having to put more on day over day.

  • Great product! Helps with acne spots so much more than any other products I’ve tried! I’ve repurchased so many times now!

    Feedback

    Various new types of patches. Decrease cost to make more cost effective.

  • These are super cool. Maybe i didn’t love them because i don’t really get the type of pimples they’re meant for.

    Feedback

    Better adhesion

  • These are great and create a barrier for skin so no germs get in. I find they also work a lot better than other brands.

  • It always gets the gunk out. I’ve had problems with stickers not being sticky enough but mighty patch was

  • Every product I've bought from them seems to work. The 3/5 is because I don't necessarily feel like their products are a good value. As in, for the price I'm paying, I want more. I can get a similar product that works just as well for less, which is a bummer. You're paying for the branding here.

    Feedback

    I would be more willing to pay the price for these if I got more product in the pack.

  • Have used the original pimple patches for years! I see such a huge difference in my pimples!

  • Worked well! I just don’t enjoy the feeling of a sticker on my face.

    Feedback

    The only thing that could use improvement is making the sticker thinner so it felt less foreign on my face.

  • I think this is a very good brand of pimple patches. They are no frills, but they get the job done. Additionally, if your skin tone matches the color of the patch, it becomes nearly invisible. With that being said, the patches are quite small and, if your skin is oily, the patches fall off faster than desired.

    Feedback

    Offer larger sizes of the patch. Lower the cost — these can get expensive for what they are.

  • I've tried many acne patches and this one by far is the most effective in treating acne with visible results either overnight or in 1-2 days. Much more practical & effective compared to those playful, star-shaped fun acne patches - IYKYK.

  • I used this for my overnight acne treatment. It is effective compared to other products in the market however it did leave a scar behind. They have another patch category that claims to specifically focus on acne scars (which I haven't tried yet). This is my go-to, especially before any important meeting or event. It gets the job done without spending too much money on those fancy products

    Feedback

    Having scar treatment benefit in this same product will be a game changer
