  • Joyful, collectible packaging
  • Handy mirror compact case
  • Playful, confidence-boosting design
  • Decent on small blemishes
  • Inconsistent patch adhesion
  • Limited extraction performance
  • Awkward star-shaped application
  • Too small, thin patches

Starface earns mixed reviews: the brand delights with joyful packaging, collectible collabs, and the handy mirror compact, but its star-shaped hydrocolloid patches are less effective than competitors for early-stage or cystic acne and often don’t adhere well overnight. Reviews say the standard yellow Hydro-Stars can flatten small, surface pimples and curb picking—while Micro-Cloud and some blue salicylic-acid stars work better—but many find minimal extraction, thin/too-small patches, curling corners, and tricky peeling that prioritizes form over function.

  • Incredible, effective products. The hydro-stars can clear up and unwanted breakout in a day or two, perfect for an emergency. Plus, they’re cute and I have no shame wearing them out in public! The team behind the brand is very helpful and a pleasure to communicate with.

  • I love hydrostars! They stay well throughout the night and don't leave my skin feeling super dry or irritated after pimple-busting. I recommend them to everyone!

    I wish the corners of the hydrostars were form firm so they wouldn't bend as easily. Other than that, no complaints!

  • First of all, the branding makes me genuinely happy. Whenever I open my medicine cabinet, there's this cute little Starface staring back at me. Oh, and they work! I don't break out often (blessed), but when I do, I throw on a lil star and see results. Truly wish I had this product as a teen.

  • 5/5 Pimple patches: love these. Adorable and seem to be really effective in reducing my pimples (or at least making them easier to pop lol). I have zero self-consciousness about wearing them out in public bc I mean, who wouldn't want to be sporting stars on their face? 4/5 Moisturizer: The moisturizer was fine, nothing fancy. It is unscented and quite lightweight. I do wish that the packaging was different though. I do my best to use up as much product as possible (to alleviate my own conscience), but the pump design meant that the top could not be unscrewed and I had to discard it with the painful knowledge that there was probably several days' worth of moisturizer still left inside 3.5/5 Face wash: It was a little too foamy for me, and felt like it was stripping my skin of moisture. I prefer a more gentle face wash that doesn't lather as much

  • These are great. Work as advertised, don't have those spiky things that other patches do that poke you.
