Starface crafts star-shaped pimple patches to help with stubborn acne.
3.4
Starface wins praise in reviews for playful branding, a handy refillable compact, and making acne feel celebratory, yet its classic Hydro-Stars often underperform versus competitors at extracting “gunk,” reducing inflammation, or staying put—especially overnight. While some users see quick results (notably with Micro-Cloud or blue salicylic acid stars), many cite weak adhesion, small one-size patches, and limited efficacy on early or cystic blemishes, making the brand better for pick-prevention and daytime cover than potent treatment.

Okay first off.... I REALLY wanted to like these. They are so stinkin cute! But in actual use I found they did nothing for my acne and are an absolute pain to remove from the plastic they are wedged between. I do love the branding and packaging.... as someone in marketing i can appreciate that. i just do not think this product delivers. I would recommend alternatives. See my other reviews for more!

I do love the starface pimple patches range. They help bring down inflammation and prevent acne fully developing. They best used on a growing pimple but don’t work on cystic / under the skin spots. I personally don’t find the salicylic acid patches any more effective than the standard range despite costing more. I also find the stickers are more gooey / stretchy. I would recommend just going for the standard yellow stars.

I’m a big fan of starface. Acne is not fun, but the stars are so cute it makes using them feel like a treat. They definitely make a difference but you can’t expect a miracle. Using overnight they tak down the inflammation and improve pimples. They don’t work for cystic / under the skin spots. Definitely most effective as a preventative measure before the spot has fully manifested. Mine always stay on all night and never have any issues.

Eh really wanted to love this because they are so cute. But i found they don’t really do anything medical and they slide off your face a lot faster than other brands out there. If you’re not looking for the skincare component, they’re a great option and super cute
