Starface earns mixed reviews: the star-shaped hydrocolloid patches delight with playful branding and a clever refillable compact mirror, and they can flatten small, surface-level blemishes and curb picking. However, many reviews say the patches underperform versus competitors—thin active layer, weak adhesion that lifts or slides (especially over moisturizer), small coverage, and bright colors too conspicuous for daytime—while salicylic acid blue stars and Micro-Cloud darts get better marks.

  • First, they do help flatten breakouts and calm inflammation much faster than other hydrocolloid patches on the market. I also love the convenience of the compact case with the built-in mirror. However, with only 32 patches included, you run through the pack very quickly if you deal with frequent blemishes. They are also incredibly bright and noticeable, so they are definitely better suited for overnight wear than a discreet daytime 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.
