For anyone with frequent breakouts, the Mighty Patch might just be the overnight miracle worker you’ve been searching for. 

TODAY Social Media Editor Helen Ray — told us she "loves them so much."

"These little suckers truly work," she said. "Not so much for big underneath-the-skin pimples, but for those pesky whiteheads, the patches will basically work overnight to get rid of the pimple without irritation or dryness."

I’ve tried them and they knocked out my pimples without irritating my skin. The ingredients attract fluids so you’ll see the clear patch turn white. It’s gross but extremely satisfying. These also help keep bacteria out and your fingers from picking at the zit.

As back-to-school season continues in full force, Hero Cosmetics, a digitally native brand that sells acne patches, is rolling out a new campaign on Gen Z’s favorite platform: TikTok.

As much as literally anyone who gets zits could benefit from having some Mighty Patches on hand, this particular freebie is specifically for students — a way to make going back to school a little less stressful. 

As someone who has dealt with cystic and hormonal acne on and off for the better part of my life, I've tried a lot of spot treatments. For me personally, nothing has worked better to quickly reduce the size and redness of pimples than acne patches.
