What it is
-
A hydrocolloid sticker (“pimple patch”) designed to cover individual whiteheads/zits. Hero Cosmetics+2Hero Cosmetics+2
-
Medical‑grade hydrocolloid: absorbs fluid/pus (“gunk”) from the pimple, while forming a protective barrier over the spot. Hero Cosmetics+1
-
Vegan‑friendly, allergy‑tested, UV‑sterilized. herodailycare.com+1
How it works & what to expect
-
Best for pimples that have come to a head (you can see/feel fluid/pus under the skin). Not very effective for deep cystic acne or blackheads. Hero Cosmetics+2Hero Cosmetics+2
-
You apply it to clean, dry skin on the blemish. Leave it on until it turns opaque/white — typically 6‑8 hours. Hero Cosmetics+1
-
When you remove it after it turns white, you’ll often see the fluid/pus captured inside. The zit should be visibly smaller/flatter, less red, by morning or after one use. Hero Cosmetics+1

Limitations / What to be careful about
-
Doesn’t work well on undeveloped pimples (no whitehead yet) or very deep cystic acne; the material needs fluid to absorb. Hero Cosmetics+1
-
If your skin is very oily or sweaty, adhesion may suffer (patch might lift).
-
The 12 mm size may be too small for large inflamed spots unless you use multiple or a larger patch.
-
Sometimes after removing, skin under patch can look red or leave a mark; proper care (moisturizer, gentle handling) helps.
Tips for Best Use
-
Clean & dry the area well before applying. Oil, sweat, or water reduces adhesion.
-
Apply just one patch that fully covers the blemish. Press gently around the edges.
-
Sleep or go about your day (if it sticks well) but leave on until the patch turns opaque/white.
-
Once removed, moisturize the area; avoid further irritation.
-
Store the patches in a cool dry place so adhesive stays good.
