Mighty Patch Original are hydrocolloid patches to cover pimples overnight. They are cheap, easy to use, and very popular, but it helps to know what they are for and what they are not.
We have not personally tested this product. This review is based on the listing and brand information, and on public price data.
What the listing says
- The brand describes them as a medical grade hydrocolloid sticker that flattens pimples without popping.
- It says the product shrinks pimples in 6 hours and absorbs 50% more than other brands. Those are the brand’s claims.
- They are thin with a translucent matte finish and stay on all night, according to the brand.
- The box includes 36 medium 12 millimeter patches.
Pros
- Low price: about $12 per box.
- Easy to use and discreet.
- They help you avoid touching or popping the pimple.
Limits and cons
- They usually work better on pimples with a head or already open ones; on deep pimples without a head the effect may be smaller.
- They do not treat the cause of acne.
- The 6 hour and 50% claims come from the brand.
- For persistent or painful acne, see a dermatologist.
Who it may suit
May suit people with occasional pimples who want to avoid touching them. It is not a solution for severe acne.
