Starface is popular for its unique, cute, star-shaped pimple patches, which are often praised for their fun design and ability to prevent users from picking at their skin. Many users note that these patches are a great accessory and appreciate the normalized visibility of treating acne. However, there are mixed reviews regarding their effectiveness. Some users have found success in reducing the size of their pimples and noticed a healing effect, while others have reported little to no change after use. A common criticism is the product's inability to stick properly or stay on for a prolonged period, especially when used in conjunction with other skincare products. The brand's higher price point compared to the perceived effectiveness is also mentioned as a downside.

This stuff smells so yummy!!! I got the vanilla chapstick and I have never loved a chapstick more. I had never heard of this brand before so I was excited to try it out. After using religiously for a month, I can confidently say this is my new favorite chapstick. Packing is adorable and even comes with a Scarface engraved in the chapstick. It really works too, keeps the lips shiny and moisturized!

I love that we are now normalizing and embracing pimples and making it fun. I break out every once in a while, and I wear them on dates, to work, to hang out with friends etc. I always try to match them with my outfits and got so many compliments! It may not be the most effective pimple patch I've used, but it's healing little girl in me who was so helplessly putting concealer on a face full of acne in high school... and that alone is worth the price.

Oh, how I wanted to join the adorable star plastered cult. I bought the refillable compact immediately, not even fathoming how a pimple patch could disappoint me. I mean, at their core, they are a pimple patch, right? It was like sticking a dollar store sticker on a pimple. It did absolutely nothing. So I bought the blue ones with salicylic acid. And the black ones for good measure. The black ones do nothing, much like their yellow counterparts, and the blue ones are perhaps the biggest letdown. Salicylic acid, an ingredient well renowned for its ability to help breakouts, and yet somehow this pimple patch managed to do nothing but irritate my existing blemish even more. Another gripe is that the blue ones, for some odd reason, refuse to peel off of the back correctly. Instead of peeling the thin plastic away to reveal four stars on the stiffer plastic, I consistently have the stars peel off in reverse, meaning I have to grab the sticky part with my fingers or a tweezer. Which bends the point of the star, making it look weird, which defeats the purpose. I’ve resulted to using the rest of my stash that I foolishly bought thinking that they would be different than the original for blemishes that I’ve already had another pimple patch on previously, that are open and need covering when I go out in public. But hey, at the very least I can cut down the sheets of pimple patches that do work and put them in the compact. So, I guess I get some of my money’s worth.

I love the pimple patches, I breakout so easily and these help to take care of the spots. I recommend these if you have a surprise pimple!

Super cute pimple Control that the kids are wearing to school now. You don’t have to cover up pimples anymore just wear your little stars to school. My 2 daughters love. Can be a little pricey, but who wants a big zit showing?
I think the packaging is so so cute. The patches seem to work pretty well too - my pimples improve after wearing them overnight and stay on great.

Because they're so fun and bright, I feel like I only really wear them at night and then take them off in the morning when I have to work - when really they could last much longer than that.
I've tried many of their skin sticker products and thought the ones with active ingredients (1% salicylic acid) were great (and worked). I am not so much into the basic stickers by themselves although the Hello Kitty colab was amazing and I bought a bunch of them.
I love the hydro stars and the lift off pore strips. I find that both work just as advertised and the packaging is cute as heck.
i wouldn't purchase again. the message is body/acne-positive, but the patches themselves don't work well. there are many other hydrocolloid patches that i'd choose before starface, rather than just pay for the aesthetic.
Feedback
don't work as well as other competitor patches.
Tbh I think Starface is genius. I mentioned this in my Billie review but I love when brands take something boring and conventional and make it FUN! Like…I sometimes get happy when I have a zit so I can slap one of these cute stickers on and wear it all day like an accessory lol. It’s 1000x more fun than a boring ol pimple patch! Knocking off a star because they’re not as effective at sucking out the gunk as I’d like, but most pimple patches are like this I guess!
I think the packaging and stars are adorable but I don't think they perform as well as other simpler pimple patches on the market. I would also appreciate it if they stopped using limited-edition drops of special stickers because they always end up selling out before I can order them. If they could improve the stickers I would give these a 5/5 stars.
I love the foaming cleanser & hydrating face cream. A little goes a long way & it suds up really nicely. The scent isn’t my favorite but that’s so unimportant. The moisturizer is rich but has a light finish. I used the night water a couple times. Might not have it as my regular routine. I’m in my 40’s and need additional products but these are perfect for a younger person to get effective easy care with cheerful packaging. The price is very reasonable as well!
Great packaging! The small box makes keeping the patches dry and organized super easy. The bright colors of the stars make them obvious in the morning, so you take them off before zoom meetings!

Personally, I wish the patches were a little larger to fully cover my acne spots.

I recently tried out Starface pimple patches, and while the shapes are definitely cute, I'm not entirely convinced of their effectiveness. While the hydrocolloid material does help absorb excess oil and pus from the pimple, I didn't notice a significant reduction in the size or redness of my pimples after using the patches overnight. One issue I had with the patches is that they are quite thick and noticeable, making them not the most practical option for wearing during the day. Additionally, I found that the patches didn't adhere well to my skin and tended to come off easily, especially if I moved around during the night. While the novelty of the star-shaped patches is fun, I'm not sure if they are worth the price for the level of effectiveness they provide. There are other pimple patches on the market that may provide better results, even if they aren't as visually appealing. Overall, while I appreciate the cute design of Starface pimple patches, I'm not convinced of their effectiveness and would recommend exploring other options if you're looking for a more reliable solution for treating breakouts.
P.M. Here we are again buying things solely based on their packaging! I mean look at this little compact of pimple star patches!? How freaking adorable! I’m going to try these out tonight and will give an update in the morning. A.M. Here’s the thing, I woke up looking like I have a very cool constellation of stars on my face. Taking them off, I’m not sure they actually did much of anything.

Be a little stronger
Love the branding! Pimples are weirdly sometimes kinda taboo but this brings a fun element to 'em! I purchased these after the Starface x Stoney Clover Lane collab a few months back. Packaging is cute and I really like the case, however, they don't work as well as drawing 'icks' out of pimples as some other brands of pimple patches do. Most of the time that I put these on, there's a pimple still under there hours later. This does not happen with my fav brand of pimple patches.
Feedback
I think quality can be improved! Packaging and branding are really fun, but the pimple patches themselves don't work as well as other brands on the market!
I am obsessed with Starface patches. I've been using them for a couple years and they bring so much delight to an experience (having acne) that's usually very frustrating. I feel super cute with my stars on and I love the little case they come in. At this point, I've only used the basic stars, but I'm very much looking forward to using newer releases that have active ingredients and larger star sizes. I'm not sure that the standard patches truly help actively heal my acne, but they certainly prevent me picking at them!
Feedback
The only thing in my mind that could use improvement would be the durability of the individual stars. If they could withstand the summer heat and sweat a little better, they would just be perfect.

I’ve been using Starface for a while now and really enjoy using them . I have used multiple of starfaces products and would highly recommend. They are quick and easy to use and can be really effective

Starface destigmatizes acne, and helps you feel confident. They cater to Gen Z with their packaging, and social media approach. I enjoyed the pimple patches, and they work great.
Feedback
Though the pimple patches work well, I have seen pimple patches that work better, however none of them come close to as cute as starface. (My favourite is cosrx)

Not as effective as other patches. Very cute packaging & design.

Does not stick to skin for long periods of time. If worn to bed overnight they will come off
