"Hero Cosmetics make great pimple patches. It's best to just use a hydrocolloid patch on those things."
Approved
"If you're wanting just a good pimple patch that actually adheres to the skin, that doesn't come off easily and can work alongside makeup, I really recommend this one. I've tried a bunch of different pimple patches, and honestly, I always find myself gravitating back to the Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics because it's a good price, it's effective, and it stays on. Not all pimple patches stay adhered to the skin throughout the entire day, but Mighty Patch always does."

"Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original, smash. Just like any pimple patches really, like they're all great, they all get the job done as long as you're not paying a ridiculous amount for them, they're great."

"I finished out some Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics. Pimple patches are amazing because they do so many things. For one, it helps to give the pimple an environment where it can heal without things that would make it worse like UV, bacteria, your dirty stinking hands. So it protects the pimple from that. It also low-key protects you from popping the pimple because it's covering it, so you're probably less susceptible to squeezing it. I like a lot from Hero."

"The Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch, covering the acne is not so much to control your acne, you're going to still have to see your dermatologist, but to keep your fingers from picking at it say during the day while you're studying, reading, going about your day. You don't want to be picking at your acne. You're going to have that as a nice protective film and then you're going to work with your dermatologist on treating your acne."

"The mighty patch from Hero Cosmetics, those are always decent and good."

"Hero Cosmetics is very very close to being one of the best pimple patches I've ever used. Hero Cosmetics is made for sensitive skin, they are efficacious, they are good at what they do. You can get them at Target, they're inexpensive, and I really love them. If you have a variety of pimples, this is the variety pack for you. All of these are really good, they're efficacious, and some of these do have active ingredients that actually help with the acne. I do find that they are probably the most efficacious for the price. They're relatively inexpensive."

"The Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original are hydrocolloid pimple patches which I recommend for people who get breakouts because the pimple patch is flexible, thin, lightweight, it covers the pimple, and importantly it provides a barrier to prevent picking, which is major. So many people struggle with skin picking, and when you pick the acne it makes it almost impossible for the acne treatments that you are using to actually work and it puts you at risk for hyperpigmentation and scarring and it opens the possibility for introducing bacteria into that compromised skin leading to a secondary skin infection. These are great in that regard. They also provide some cosmetic camouflage, which in my opinion is superior to trying to cover a pimple with makeup, because if you try and cover a pimple with makeup it often makes it more obvious because the makeup starts to get flaky and dry on the pimple. These on the other hand do a decent job providing some cosmetic camouflage. They're super comfortable to wear, you can wear them while you work out, they stay on, you can wear them overnight. When I wear them I forget that I even have them on."
AUGUST 2023 FAVORITES | SKINCARE & BEAUTY
"This is a product that I talk about all the time but it has really come to my rescue in multiple ways this summer and it is the Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics. I use mosquito repellent but inevitably you're going to get bit by a mosquito. Scratching a mosquito bite is the wrong thing to do but it's very hard not to when you scratch it leads to the release of more itch signals and it can introduce bacteria into the mosquito bite. I discovered that putting a hydrocolloid patch on a mosquito bite takes the itch away immediately, keeps me from scratching and helps it heal a lot faster. The way hydrocolloid bandages work is they help to absorb fluid from a wound so all that swelling that comes about with the bump, all that fluid from the mosquito bite, it sucks it up so it flattens it out and it helps take away the itch. It flattens it out and makes it go a lot faster plus it protects it from the outside world keeping the skin underneath moisturized."

"There's a really good one from Hero Cosmetics where you get the Mighty Patch, which I love for cutting down on picking and squeezing pimples. It's a hydrocolloid patch that adheres really well. It's very thin, it's very flexible. I mean, you can't even notice that it's on your skin."
SKINCARE IN NEW YORK @DrDrayzday
"These are the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches that I have recommended for those of you who deal with breakouts that you are tempted to pick and squeeze because a hydrocolloid helps absorb the exudate from the pimple so it'll help flatten it out but it also just serves as a barrier between you and your fingers preventing picking. The nose patch I find is pretty handy because you can actually cut it into different pieces. If you have mosquito bites, you can slap one on because it takes away the itch almost instantaneously and it also helps a lot with sucking up the fluid that comes in the inflammation and that's what makes the bump swell and also makes it itchy so it really helps clear them up really fast."
WHY THE RANDOM CHIN HAIRS?
"I am a huge fan of the Mighty Patch. This is a hydrocolloid patch. If you get pimples, acne breakouts, or painful bumps, you need to try a hydrocolloid pimple patch and these are seriously the best. They are basically a barrier between the pimple and your fingers. Squeezing, picking, scratching at a pimple only makes it last longer, it can aggravate it, and it puts you at risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring. This just kind of silences that urge a bit. The other reason these are great is the hydrocolloid helps to absorb some of that inflammatory exudate. The end result is it helps flatten the pimple out. You put this onto a clean, dry face, say right before you go to bed. They're comfortable to sleep with. You wake up the following morning, remove the patch, and it's like this aha moment. You can actually see on the underside of the patch the fluid that it has absorbed and the pimple is a lot flatter. Alternatively, if you want, you can wear these during the day. They actually offer really great cosmetic camouflage of the pimple. You can barely even notice."
WHY THE RANDOM CHIN HAIRS?
"This is the original one, this is great for like your basic pimple, but they also make patches in a variety of different sizes and shapes. These are safe to use during pregnancy. I've tried many hydrocolloid patches over the years on this channel to review them and I always come back to these because they are seriously the best quality. They stay on really well, they're not noticeable. They're very flexible, they're very thin and they work."

"Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch are excellent options. They're very thin, they're very flexible, you don't even realize you have them on. They stay on the skin really well, you completely forget you have these on. The other reason why I like them is that they offer a bit of cosmetic camouflage, they make the pimple less visible. You can still see it through the hydrocoloid patch but it's a lot less obvious, keeps it comfortable and reduces the chances that you pick."

"I'm so excited they have this Hero Mighty Patch packet here, 81 patches. These are really helpful for cutting down on picking at pimples and they also help to absorb a little bit of exudate so that helps shrink them. They stay on really well especially through sweat and you can barely see them on the skin surface."
*NEW* Skincare Holiday Gift Sets At Target 2024
"Hero Cosmetics has a little $19.99 gift set with the Mighty Patch. I love these, really good for mosquito bites. The Rescue Balm, I love it, it's good for the dry flaky skin after a pimple goes away. And then the Invisible Patch, this one's just cute packaging, it's a 50 patch set for $9.99. This would be cute in a stocking."
*Vlog* BODY ODOR, DEODORANT AND NEW SKIN CARE AT WALMART @DrDrayzday
"These patches are gold for those of you who struggle with picking because they serve as a barrier to protect from your fingers picking and squeezing, so that's really going to help support healing and get that pimple to go away much faster. I keep coming back to the Mighty Patch time and time again because of all the ones that I've ever tried, these deliver. Not only do they work, but they're super thin, super lightweight, comfortable to wear. You can't see them. If you get up close you can see them, but they really do a nice job camouflaging the pimple. They're comfortable to wear. When I wear them I forget I have them on. You can wear them overnight while you sleep, wake up the following morning, and if you have a particularly inflammatory pimple, when you remove it you can see some of that exudate come out and then you can see that the pimple has gotten flatter. It's very gratifying. Or if you want, you could also wear them throughout the day comfortably. In my opinion, they are a much better option than trying to camouflage a pimple with concealer or makeup because that ends up getting cakey and flaky, especially if you have a very inflammatory pimple that oozes a bit. It's going to break up the makeup and just be more obvious."
