A: Mighty Patch™ Micropoint for Dark Spots is designed for post-blemish marks from acne, so it’s not specifically intended for age spots caused by sun exposure. 💛

Q: The package comes with only 8 patches so if it works over time, how many boxes are you going to have to buy to get rid of 3 dark spots at $12.99 a box?
submitted by Mashstar - 1 year ago
A: Every Hero is different so it depends on the type of dark spot and your skin! We suggest pairing with the Lightning Wand to pack more of a punch if you are looking for quicker results.

Dark Spot Game Changet
I love these dark spot patches! They’re super easy to use and make it simple to target post-acne marks exactly where I need them. I like that I can just apply a patch and let it work without adding another complicated step to my routine. My skin looks brighter and more even with consistent use, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with stubborn dark spots after breakouts.

Best Patches I've Ever Used
I absolutely love these, they cleaned out my pimples so quickly and they are so affordable. Usually when the price is lower so is the quality, but that is NOT the case with Hero.

Seems to really work!
I have really become a fan of the Hero brand and products! I’ve tried several different products and have had success with each one. After using Hero Micropoint for Dark Spots for about a week, I have been able to notice some improvement in one of my post procedure dark spots on my leg. This is extremely useful for helping to clear certain dark spots on my skin. I definitely recommend! #ad I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

Enjoying these for dark spots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used all of these dark spot patches and can see a small difference which is great and I know once I use more it will make a great difference. My only qualm is that is comes with not a lot of patches and kind of pricey. #ad

Fades newer dark spots
I love the combination of ingredients, so great for fading spots and because it’s in a Micropoint patch I feel like it really gets in there. I use it at night to help fade my dark spots from recent pimples. I think it works better at the newer spots and so easy wearing it at night. #ad I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

Fade Fast!
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion: Three of these Mighty Patches for Dark Spots and my spot was already fading. Not a subtle “maybe it’s lighter” kind of change — it was clearly softening and breaking up. The micropoints melted in overnight and delivered the brightening ingredients right where they needed to go. I liked how simple it was. I put the patch on before bed and it stayed put until morning. No peeling, no shifting, no waking up to find it stuck somewhere else lol. No irritation either. Even with vitamin C, kojic acid, and tranexamic acid, my skin stayed calm. Just steady brightening. This is the easiest dark‑spot fix I’ve added. One patch, overnight x3, and done!

Brightened my skin after breakouts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried these micropoint patches at different post-breakout areas near my nose and on my chin, and they really did help my skin to clear up and brighten up again. I dislike having to wait a long time after a hormonal breakout for my facial skin to return to normal in affected areas, so any easy to use product like this that speeds along recovery to my best skin is much appreciated. Hero has once again developed a highly useful, clever solution to care for my moody facial skin. #ad

Wow!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using these dark spot patches. They are invisible in your skin once they adhere. They do not hurt or leave your skin red. The patches are efficient and help your skin feeling smooth and less dark over time. Do yourself a favor and try these. #ad

They fail to adhere properly to the skin, rendering them ineffective. They leave behind a white cast over the affected area, which appears to lighten the dark spot.

Great patches!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These patches for Dark Spots work great. I love how simple this is. I just put on the patches, over my pimples. It did the work for me. I noticed how the dark spot was lighter after taking the patch off. I think this is hydrating to the area which helped make it smaller. These stayed on overnight. So great to use! I received this in exchange for my opinion.

Good Things Come In Small Packages!
I was fortunate to be able to receive these products for free in exchange for my review. After using Mighty Patch For Dark Spots for a week or so, I noticed a visible difference in my sunspots and scars. I love when a product actually does what it claims to do. Hero Skincare products deliver. I only wish they included more in the box! #ad

good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These patches are different from the pimple patch, it has a micropoint layer that helps brighten dark spots. It is easy to use on blemish areas and it sticks pretty well and I see the difference. #ad

Worth trying for dark spots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m honestly impressed with these patches! They’re easy to use, stay on overnight, and I noticed my newer dark spots looking lighter after a few uses. They won’t work miracles on older spots, but for newer post-acne marks they are definitely worth the try! #ad
