Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original Acne Pimple Patches

Most Helpful Positive Review

Fave patches, awesome for after professional extractions

These were the first pimple patches I tried, and since have tried other brands, but I still keep coming back to these. I also feel like have the best plastic backing removal that comes off of half, so I don't squish the ends trying to get these off like I seem to do with half or more of other brands.... They work best on pimples that are surface level and about to pop. They work best for me when applying after a warm shower face wash or warm compress when the pore opens more and has blood flowing through your face, they don't work as well after only washing my face. They are also awesome right after my medspa extractions especially for the overactive sebum and lancet-assisted opening blemishes - I'm bringing these next time to put them on right after before they fill up again. I will get pimples I call "oil bombs" where it seems like it's endless clear sebum - these things suck up all of it overnight. I've also been really pleased with the results of using Hero's post-blemish balm after the patch over zits that have had blood worked into the mix or starts peeling. I have seen some low reviews and comments about not working or having to use several - these aren't magic pimple erasers, the pimple must be at the stage where the pus and sebum can exit, it and sometimes depending on the irritant, pore size, and how much sebum vs pus, it can take longer or not work. The hydrocolloid patch is meant only to absorb the gunk, protect it from external irritants while skin is irritated or broken, and help you not pick at it. It doesn't contain any other ingredients like an acid or soothing ingredients - it absorbs and protects.
