Revealing the Hero within
Blemishes happen, dark spots happen, rosacea happens. Issue-prone skin is human, and it can often feel entirely out of our control. We’re here to help put the power back in your hands. Whether you’re looking to prevent, treat, or repair – we create gentle, effective solutions that help your skin fight back; so you can open up, not cover up.
The Hero of this story is you, we’re here to help you reveal it – one solution at a time.
The Hero Story: Born from Frustration, Driven by a Solution
The Hero Story: Born from Frustration, Driven by a Solution
Hero Cosmetics was founded on a simple, universal problem: the desperate search for a pimple solution that actually works. Our founder, and countless others, were tired of harsh, drying creams that often did more harm than good.
The breakthrough came with hydrocolloid technology, a gentle yet powerful material used in medical settings for wound care. We saw its potential for blemishes and pioneered its use in an accessible, effective acne patch.
Mighty Patch was born from this mission: to provide a better, kinder way to heal pimples. It’s more than a product; it’s a promise of fast, visible relief without the irritation. We empower you to stop the pick, protect your skin, and confidently reveal a clearer complexion. This is our hero's journey, for your skin.
Ingredients. Matter.
It’s hard to trust new products when you have sensitive skin. It’s why we care so much about the ingredients we use (and the ones we choose not to use).
Our approach is: whatever we make needs to work with your skin, never against it. So we restrict over +2,400 ingredients that could cause irritation; we call it being consciously clinical.
It’s this thought that leads us to innovate away from the stripping and the purging and into new territory – a gentler territory that gives you back control over your skin.
FAQS
What is hydrocolloid?
What is hydrocolloid?
Hydrocolloid was originally designed for use as a medical bandage or dressing for wounds. It has a gel layer that’s formulated with pectin or gelatin and other ingredients that attract water and absorb fluids (such as pus). Mighty Patch is not made with gelatin and therefore is vegan-friendly. As the hydrocolloid draws in fluids or pus, the patch changes from transparent to opaque white, which is all the gunk that was pulled from the pimple.
How do I use Mighty Patch?
How do I use Mighty Patch?
Mighty Patch is a gentle (yet super-effective) pimple patch. To be exact, it’s a transparent hydrocolloid sticker that sucks up pus and protects the skin.
First, thoroughly clean and dry the blemish and surrounding area. Apply a Mighty Patch directly on top of the blemish and leave it on until the sticker turns opaque white, which generally takes about six hours. If there is still pus left in the pimple after your patch is removed, you can replace it with a new patch. Mighty Patch is safe to use overnight or during the day.
What kind of pimple is Mighty Patch designed for?
What kind of pimple is Mighty Patch designed for?
Since hydrocolloid attracts water and fluid, Mighty Patch works best on pimples that have come to a head (in other words, you can see white fluid or pus trapped in the pimple). If you tried a Mighty Patch and it didn’t change from transparent to opaque white, your pimple might not have been “mature” enough or the right type of blemish.
If you have cystic acne, we recommend you see a doctor or dermatologist for professional treatment.

What's the maximum length of time I should wear a patch?
What's the maximum length of time I should wear a patch?
If you've worn the patch for over 6 hours and it hasn't absorbed anything, it can mean a few things:
- The pimple does not have fluid in it so it's not "ripe" yet or not the right type of pimple
- The pimple does have fluid in it but the fluid is deep in the pore. The patch can help coax the fluid to the surface and then coax it out but this will take 1-3 days depending on how deep the fluid is.
- The patch needs easier access to the fluid. Some customers have seen that popping or pricking the pimple can help draw out the fluid faster onto the patch.
We advise you wear the patch for 6-8 hours or until the patch has absorbed the gunk out, whichever is first. If after 6-8 hours, the patch has not absorbed anything, please see above. Let us know if you have other questions!
