Hero Mighty Patch Launches in the UK

The popular hydrocolloid acne patches are already the #1 U.S. best-selling acne patch brand and are now set to transform the way UK consumers tackle their skin woes.

Blemishes always show up at the WORST times - before a date, an interview, or any time you want to show your best face. Helpful? No. That's why Hero Cosmetics created Mighty Patch, a hydrocolloid patch with breathable polyurethane film that absorbs gunk, camouflages blemishes, and helps support a healing environment. Don’t pop it, patch it. Hero Mighty Patch. 

On a mission to normalise acne across any age, gender, or lifestyle – no matter how little or extreme – Hero helps to give power back to the people. So you can be in control of your skincare and help bring your best self to the surface. You’re already the hero of your own skin, Hero is just here to help you reveal it. 

With #herocosmetics receiving over 370 million views on TikTok alone, the popular hydrocolloid acne patches have already taken the American market by storm with Hero Cosmetics being the #1 U.S. best-selling acne patch brand. Hero Cosmetics are now set to revolutionise the way UK consumers tackle their skin woes.

Hero began in 2017 when Co-Founder, Ju Rhyu, had one of her regular pimple emergencies but her sensitive skin had reached a breaking point with the harsh acids of the world. So, she went looking and found her issue wasn’t just her issue – a lot of people felt the same. The stripping, the purging, the resurfacing, the ‘wait two weeks’ before the redness goes away. There had to be a better alternative and so Mighty Patch pimple patches were born. A hydrocolloid patch that Ju originally found in South Korea, that gently absorbs gunk so you can wake up to clearer looking skin. Just a patch, and time.

A gamechanger in the world of skincare, offering simple yet effective solutions for those with acne-prone skin, Mighty Patch Original is the #1 U.S. best -selling acne patch and works by absorbing impurities, helping to reduce inflammation and minimise the appearance of pimples. Hydrocolloid is a gentle fluid-absorbing gel that’s medical-grade and suitable for sensitive skin and - unlike other spot treatments - the Mighty Patch creates a protective barrier that helps prevent touching and helps prevent further irritation.  

Mighty Patch is Dermatologically tested and suitable for sensitive skin and can be used on various types of acne, including whiteheads, blackheads, and even cystic acne - with a variety to choose from to suit different demands during the day. Ensuring continuous treatment without any disruption to your life.

"It's always been our goal to ensure accessibility to everyone and anyone who may need our products. Launching in the UK is an exciting step towards that goal. I am so excited to bring the Hero™ brand story and our solutions to the British customer. I'm confident that we'll continue to grow the category by reaching a new audience and most importantly, get our acne solutions into the hands of people with pimple emergencies." shares Ju Rhyu, Co-Founder of Hero Cosmetics 

The Hero range includes:

The nighttime acne patch - Mighty Patch Original

Pimples? EEK! Banish spots at first sight with the original hydrocolloid patch from Hero Cosmetics – acne’s arch nemesis. Mighty Patch Original visibly flattens and absorbs gunk from pimples whilst you sleep (literally) - so you can wake up to clearer-looking skin. Sign us up! 

The daytime acne patch - Mighty Patch Invisible+

At night when we sleep, we aren’t focusing nor tempted to be fiddling with our irritating pimple non-stop. But once we’re awake, this all changes and makes it much more difficult to not touch it. Unfortunately, we hate to tell you that this bad habit has no way of aiding disappearance of the pimple or healing it. But don’t let that stop you from taking back control. During the daytime, tackle blemishes with Mighty Patch™ Invisible+. Clear, super-thin and comfortable, you’ll forget it’s even there. You could even apply it before make-up (if you like).

The larger acne patch - Mighty Patch Surface

What’s more annoying than the appearance of a pimple? The appearance of several. When they all show up at once, like the worst boy band known to man, Hero™ has created this jumbo-sized hydrocolloid strip to give you 10x more coverage than the Mighty Patch™ Original, to visibly flatten pimple clusters within hours and knock that boy band down the charts. Perfect for flare-ups on the back, neck, chest, buttocks and jaw. It’s up to you to stick the patch in the right place. Need more coverage? Use two at a time! You’re such a Hero! 

Mighty Patch Duo

A variety pack consisting of both the Mighty Patch™ Original and Invisible+. Great for taking on-the-go to tackle any unwanted blemish, the Mighty Patch™ Duo pack really does give you the best of both worlds. Alexa, play The Best of Both Worlds by Hannah Montana.

Hero Mighty Patch is available now at Mighty Patch and will be available at Amazon from 14th September and Boots from 02 October.
