FAQs

Hydrocolloid was originally designed for use as a medical bandage or dressing for wounds. It has a gel layer that attracts water and absorbs fluids (such as pus). As the hydrocolloid draws in fluids or pus, the patch changes from transparent to opaque white, visibly showing that it is working!​

Mighty Patch is a gentle yet effective pimple patch. To be exact, it’s a transparent hydrocolloid sticker that absorbs 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 for 6-8 hours, until the sticker turns opaque white. 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 suitable to use overnight or during the day.

Since hydrocolloid absorbs 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 have cystic acne, we recommend you see a doctor or dermatologist for professional treatment.

Mighty Patch Original is the Hero Cosmetics OG. It’s our nighttime patch and comes in one size.
