Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch, the Original - 36 patches

I am a huge fan of the Hero. original mighty patches. The invisible patches work just as well (some how maybe better??) and literally are so subtle on your skin. I wear these out to dinner, on work Zoom calls, to the grocery store, literally all the time. I love that they STAY stuck on too. Nothing worse than wasting a pimple patch because it slides or peels right off. You can see them working so well. It’s both disgusting and extremely satisfying when you take the patch off and see all the white gunk. They really do clear my pimples….without irritating my skin!! I can take one off and immediately put another on without worrying about peeling skin, irritation, etc. I will usually go through about 3 patches to get rid of a stubborn pimple but sometimes I throw one on ... MoreI am a huge fan of the Hero. original mighty patches.

Best Patches Ever

For a while, I wasn’t sure on how well these patches would work… I was definitely very skeptical, until I finally caved in and bought them. Now, they are such a STAPLE in my routine! I have combination skin and struggle with face breakouts, such as very stubborn white and black heads. These patches reduced the redness AND size of my pimples over night. ALSO, the patch stays in place and does not move. I repeat: does not move!!! It doesn’t lose its stickiness and stays in place once it’s on. My skin gets very oily throughout the night and when I wake up in the morning, the patches are still there! Also, I love how easy it is for me to put the patches on. Even with my oily skin, I never have a problem when getting it to initially stick onto my face. I love these ... MoreFor a while, I wasn’t sure on how well these patches would work… I was definitely very skeptical, until I finally caved in and bought them.

Best thing since sliced bread!

I'm in my mid 30s -- which is to say I've tried dozens & dozens & dozens of products over the years to treat my constantly broken-out face -- & The Mighty Patch is the first thing I've ever used that makes a real difference. It's not just a little bit helpful, either; it's super mega extremely helpful. Like profoundly helpful. Reduces the intensity of each pimple (& I get cystic ones!) by like 90%. Not exaggerating. I imagine the experience varies for people with differing skin types, but for me, these are everything I wish I'd had for the last, uh, 23 years. I have combination skin that's prone to constant low-grade breakouts, I have both eczema & psoriasis, & I experience acute hormonal breakouts with cystic pimples twice a month every month.

I have combination skin that's prone to constant low-grade breakouts, I have both eczema & psoriasis, & I experience acute hormonal breakouts with cystic pimples twice a month every month. The Mighty Patch is nearly clear, & although still visible to someone who's paying attention, discrete enough that I've already experienced a day when I decided going to work (at my customer-facing retail job) with one of these on my forehead would be less conspicuous than going to work with a red volcano the size of Jupiter on my forehead, so they even address that aspect of the breakout -- the needing-to-be-in-the-world-during-the-most-horrifying-of-it aspect. But the alchemy it performs on the pimple itself is the real boon. SO much less pain, so much less time spent fretting over it. Wow. Ten wows. The adhesion is perfect. Hero has made a product sticky enough that you REALLY don't have to worry about it coming off, flexible enough that you're hardly aware of it being on your skin at all (I have intense sensory issues, so ~things on my skin~ is An Issue for me . . . one evening I had a freakout & had to peel them off prematurely, but that's only happened once so far, & I'm reaching the end of my second box now), & somehow gentle enough that removing it isn't painful. Seems a bit like magic to me, but I'm not here to question a good thing! They feel a little pricey to me (& the packaging seems a bit wasteful, tbh), but considering they mean I can stop searching high & low for anything that might help, throwing away money on useless product after useless product, & instead can know I've got something in the cabinet that's going to bail me out over & over again, I'll find a way to make the price work. The Mighty Patch would be the MVP of 2021 if not for the fact that obviously the COVID vaccine takes that title. Hero Cosmetics, would you consider offering larger quantities per package as an additional option? I'd feel less guilty about the packaging waste I'm generating if I could get, like, 100 patches in one small box -- so many fewer boxes! I love that you offer smaller packs so we don't have to break the bank in order to try your product, but once we've tried it & loved it & are ready to commit, I'm sure I'm not the only one of us who'd be eager to save up so we could buy in bulk!

Does what it's supposed to but does not work miracles

As much as anyone who has struggled with acne wants to find some kind of miracle product, a pimple patch is not it. Additionally, pimple patches do not "pull out gunk" or "pull out puss". That is literally just hydrocolloid aka the medication on the patch. Pimple patches provide a clean environment for your zit as well as absorbing oil. You absolutely can not put this on a pimple and expect to wake up with clear skin the next day. But if you pick on your zit and don't want to wake up in regret with it even worse, this is great. I use these on my pimples only after picking on them. They can slightly reduce the size but do not make anything go away. I've seen positive outcomes on using them after picking on a pimple versus not using anything at all. And for some ... MoreAs much as anyone who has struggled with acne wants to find some kind of miracle product, a pimple patch is not it.

Essential for your skin. Just wish they didn't go up in price.

When you look at a box of pimple patches there isn’t much to expect. It’s a straightforward product that works amazingly for me and my skin. Anytime I have a pimple I immediately slap on one of these patches, and soon after that pimple disappears. It also helps me conceal those giant dots that are scattered about my face. The concealment and protection of these pimples are definite positives for this product. I also haven’t seen any issues in terms of what is chemically in the patch that could ever affect me in the long term negatively and that is also a big plus in my book. Although these patches aren’t clear like the other pimple patches this company offers, it still doesn’t look that noticeable on my skin. I will say, that there aren’t as many pimple patches in ... MoreWhen you look at a box of pimple patches there isn’t much to expect.

I will say, that there aren’t as many pimple patches in the box as I think there should be for the price. With the price increasing on this product, I might have to stop purchasing it because 24 patches just might not be worth it for the price. Another downside for me would be that sometimes these patches fall off fairly easily. Sometimes they stick on great but then there are those times where I stick a patch on and it will fall off right away. I’m not sure if that’s entirely a product issue or if it’s my face but regardless, it’s definitely how you certified it’s for pediatric only denied something to note if you were to purchase this product. That aside these patches make whiteheads disappear and it’s just an amazing go-to product for anyone who cares about their face. I really recommend it!

Goodbye Cystic Acne, Hello Pimple Gunk

First off, I am a new Hero Cosmetic user. I have always been wary about whether these patches actually work, so I avoided using them. When I was at work, one of my co-workers was telling me all about the patches and how well they work and I was like enough is enough, and I went to Ulta after work and bought my own (I had been breaking out really badly). That night, after I washed my face, I applied my lightweight moisturizer and slapped a pimple patch onto the red/angry cystic pimple on my jaw. I crossed my fingers hoping that this would be my holy grail and sure enough when I woke up after a good 9 hrs of sleep, there was a white cloudy film on the patch that wasn't there the previous night when I applied it. I carefully peeled it off, which was a little extreme ... MoreFirst off, I am a new Hero Cosmetic user. I have always been wary about whether these patches actually work, so I avoided using them.

I carefully peeled it off, which was a little extreme because it didn't hurt (I was expecting it to be like pulling off the tape or a band-aid). And behold! The pimple had been magically popped and all of its gunk was on the patch, which was both gross and satisfying. The amount of gunk that this little patch could pull out of my skin was astonishing- I wouldn't have been able to get that much out if I had popped it myself. using the patches left my skin happy because it wasn't being pushed, pulled, and bruised during this process.Thank you Hero Cosmetics, your patches have saved my skin and saved me from another scar!I will definitely be purchasing these again once I run out :)

I'm learning these can be hit or miss

So I have been using these for a long time and always loved them. I bought a smaller pack that I bought somewhere else and they were completely different. They even looked different on my skin and more translucent in appearance. They were not the invisible version either. They did absolutely nothing! I even gave them a not so good review thinking they completely changed the formula and didn't understand why they would change a good thing. I even read other reviews with similar experiences. I decided to give them one more chance and bought this pack at ulta. These ones are exactly like what I originally experienced and work amazing! I'm not sure if there was a formula change or if I just got a dud. But either way grateful I got a pack that's working for me again!

THIS IS LONG BUT TRUST ME:

I’ve used these for years so if you want the whole lowdown & an experienced user’s input, read on, my friend! You can watch the results as it works if you look in the mirror every couple of hours, so you will see it really working. It’s fascinating to see the end result / gunk on the sticker when I look in the mirror when I wake up but when I remove the patch there’s no mushy grossness. But! Wash your face of course after using it, whether it’s between reapplying another one, or just if your need has been met and you’re good to go, bc the sticky hydrocolloid residue mark IS there (like when you take a barcode label of a new item or sometimes a bandaid) but it’s NOT HARD to get it off and clean, just wash your face. I use miscellaneous water or witch hazel sometimes ... MoreI’ve used these for years so if you want the whole lowdown & an experienced user’s input, read on, my friend!

I use miscellaneous water or witch hazel sometimes but foaming face wash or w/e too. Fyi, They’re about the size of a dime or my finger tip. That said, PRO TIP: I cut them in half on the plastic sheet they come on (and even in quarters if my bump is reallyyyy small tbh) bc often I don’t need as much coverage in one area as the patch but on the occasion I need more, I’ll use a whole one and put a half of one next to it. It depends on how my face depends to make me suffer when I start pms-ing. You get more bang for your buck that way :) *Do note this is only for white heads/open surfaces like AFTER unclogging a pore or even a bit of annoying chin or nose milia - not blackheads or bumps like blocked pores (it won’t do anything if it can’t get to the gunk, so I’m not advocating for popping things on your face since I know the ‘rules’ of face care but…that clog/ingrown hair/etc needs to have an opening before this guy can work it’s magic. TLDR: yes buy it, the claims on the box are true

This stuff really works even for adults with acne!

This stuff really works even for adults with acne!As a adult with acne this product is amazing!!!. I suffered all my life with acne as a young lady growing up. Went thru many treatments through the Doctors growing up. From green light face treatments to soaps to creams and even face sanding. My face finally cleared up in my 20s and then in my late 40s and 50s now it has come back and I get the occasional breakout. These patches have helped so much with my breakouts. Before applying the patch to acne, the acne should be open first. The place the sticky circle over the acne spots. Make sure it is adhered very well. I will leave mine overnight, and then follow the directions the next morning on the box. In the morning when I wake up I just pull off the sticky circle ... MoreThis stuff really works even for adults with acne!As a adult with acne this product is amazing!!!.

In the morning when I wake up I just pull off the sticky circle (which will have a white circle in it) and throw it away. To let the acne air dry and it is barely noticeable. It will usually go away by the next day. I love this product and will keep using it when I have a breakout! So nice to find something that actually works for adult acne!Thank you Hero Cosmetics for making amazing products!!!!

Will be repurchasing

I just finished my first box of these. Do they work? Yes. But I found it takes multiple patches over a few nights and is not an overnight fix. I have constant white head cystic acne along my chin and jawline. When putting a patch on as soon as a red bump appears I did not see any results the next day. Then following night when the pimple is at the white head stage I see a tiny bit of white that the patch pulled out the next morning, but also still nothing crazy and the pimple is still there. I find that towards the end of the pimple at it's last days is when I am amazed. The next day the patch is covered in white puss and the pimple is completely gone (once while pulling the patch off the entire white head literally pulled out of the pimple while taking the patch ... MoreI just finished my first box of these.

I never pop my pimples so waiting it out until the end when I feel the patch works best is fine with me because of how much it heals it and makes it completely disappear. Will definitely be going out and buying another box!
