Mighty Patch Invisible + ($18): Whenever you feel the urge to pick a pimple, keep your paws off and put a patch on it. Mighty Patch’s new hydrocolloid patches work by absorbing all the gunk from within a blemish, gradually flattening it over time. The best part? This new insanely thin design comes equipped with tapered edges, making them so undetectable that you can actually wear them under makeup.

Why You’ll Love It: These discreet stickers, which conceal and heal breakouts, are barely visible to the naked eye.
How to Use It: Place one patch on a pimple, then cover with a touch of concealer to make the treatment invisible.

Stress pimples continue to be the bane of my existence since life is one stressor after the other. And despite following a pretty efficient skincare routine, (face wash daily, moisturizer before heading out, eye cream at night, etc) these zits will continue to pop up unexpectedly like unwanted DMs.

That’s where the Hero Cosmetics’ Mighty Patch comes in. 

The Mighty Patch Acne Stickers by Hero Cosmetics are a great and gentle way to use a spot treatment. The K-beauty-inspired product is a gel sticker (a little smaller than a penny) that absorbs pus from the blemish, resulting in calmer, clearer skin.

The stickers are incredibly simple to use. Start off by cleaning and drying your face and then, before applying any serums or lotions, place the sticker on the infected area.

To see just how discreet the new Invisible+ patches are, I decided to wear them during a recent trip to the beach. The right side of my face was acting up, so it seemed like the best possible time to test-drive them. I had fiery red, bulbous spots on my cheek and chin. The last thing my acne needed was to be suffocated with concealer, and I definitely didn't want to wear a full face of makeup at the shore. Instead, I protected my breakouts with the Invisible+ patches.

As a beauty writer, I'll try anything in the world of beauty at least once. (Well, except for maybe that /react-text react-text: 144 penis facial /react-text react-text: 145 that was taking the world by storm last month — because, just why? — but you get the gist.) Take, for example, Japanese skin care. A few weeks ago, when I learned that the ever-popular Korean beauty craze was starting to be rivaled by none other than its sister to the east, I knew it was time to roll up my sleeves, do a little research on what makes /react-text react-text: 147 J-beauty so popular /react-text react-text: 148 , and go on yet another beauty adventure — all in the name of gorgeous, glowing skin.
