  • UNCLOGS PORES: Made with salicylic acid, these stars absorb fluid while helping to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores.
  • BESTSELLING FORMULA: Hydro-Stars are made with hydrocolloid, a material that’s clinically proven to help absorb fluid, reduce redness, and shrink spots while feeling cute.
  • PICKING PROTECTION: These blue stars protect your spots from outside interference and serve as a gentle reminder to avoid skin picking.
  • FOR EVERYONE, ALWAYS: Hydro-Stars are vegan, cruelty free, dermatologist tested, Target Clean, and safe for sensitive skin.

    Much better version than the older ones I had!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been a while since I got new ones of this type because I bought so many they lasted me a long time. But it seems there has been a major upgrade in how these are made. The ones I recently got are thicker, stickier, and seem like they have more product in them compared to the old ones I had. These stay on my face throughout the night much better.

    These are ok.

    I like wearing these in the day while at work! They're cute and fun! They're not as affective as the Hero brand but they are a good alternative to cover up blemishes if you dont want to wear make up. The most recent pack I bought wasnt great tho, the last stickers seemed like they were contaminated so I threw them out . . . please check the stickers before you use them.

    sticky sticky

    These will not fall off! Definitely the stickiest of all the stars I've tried, they do a great job of removing any excess gunk and speed up the recovery process.

    disapointed

    i usually buy these specific ones when i have a breakout under the skin. it may have been a bad batch but none of these are sticking to anything but the plastic that’s on top when you open it?? im really upset because i usually love these and they do work and idk if i can return them since they’re open.

    Bad batch

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wasn’t like my usual purchase. I literally purchase star patches monthly and these may have been a bad batch. They were thin and not sticky and the plastic didn’t have the folds on them like they usually do to remove the patches. They also were literally falling off my face. Kind of sad because this never happens. This must have been a bad batch.

    Spots are noticeably smaller/less red

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spots are noticeably smaller/less red overnight, usually! I use these a lot. Be careful with these/any salicylic acid product when you’re using other acne products or exfoliants, you may peel a little in that area :) these by themselves usually do the trick and other products aren’t needed for typical spots!

    Useless

    They did absolutely nothing. Worn for 8-12 hours two nights in a row with no change. They did stay on, so I guess there’s that…
