These 'grossly satisfying' nose patches are $13, an all-time low for Prime Day
This best-selling Amazon skin remedy is also dermatologist-recommended.
What's better than going to bed and waking up feeling better? Looking better of course, and these hydrocolloid nose patches are the answer. They get to work on oily pores while you sleep, promising you'll wake up to clear, smooth skin without all that gunk and build-up.
Dermatologist Shereene Idriss, MD, said she swears by one product in particular — the Mighty Patch from Hero Cosmetics. And right now for Prime Day, you can get 10 of ’em for $13, which works out to less than $1.30 apiece.
Apply this nose patch, shuffle off to bed, and let it do the hard work of clearing your pores while you sleep. In the morning, you'll be astonished when you see all the grime that was trapped in your pores.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
These mega-popular patches (we're talking 8.500+ five-star fans) rarely go on sale — but even when we've seen them at a discount, the price has never been this low.
Why do I need this? 🧐
"These are made up of a hydrocolloid material, which is a water-loving material that is going to draw up all of that gunk from your pores," Idriss explained.
The good doctor continued: "These are not to be confused with the classic pore strip, which basically you leave on for 10 minutes, and then you wax it off your nose, leaving behind open, dilated pores that are more likely to fill up again over time and get bigger if you keep doing it over and over and over again."
Unlike traditional strips, these gunk-suckers are designed to stay put for six hours. Wash your face using your normal routine, then place one of these strips on your nose and leave it undisturbed overnight. Wake up, remove and be amazed that the Mighty Patch has latched onto the grime locked into your pores and left behind clear, smooth skin.
Bear in mind that the patch turns white as it fills up with the nasties lingering in your skin; reviewers call the process "grossly satisfying."
What reviewers say 💬
"Amazing" and "miraculous" are common themes among five-star reviewers.
Pros 👍
One happy reviewer said, "I was amazed! It was slightly annoying to have on at night, but when I woke up, all of those problem blackheads on my nose were either gone or loosened up. ... The patch is easy to remove and doesn't hurt at all, like some of the other nose strips. I'm so impressed!"
Another reviewer called it "Seriously an unexpected miracle. ... Pore strips have always pulled a few [blackheads] out, but mostly just left a white film behind. I applied this clear plastic patch and went to sleep. [In the morning] I could see that about 75% of my blackheads/sebum were gone."
"Applying the patch itself was a little awkward at first, but not impossible," noted one reviewer. "As far as clearing the skin, this product really improved my oily nose area, and I love it. The adhesion is pretty strong so just be aware when you take it off." Good to know!
Cons 👎
Some shoppers had issues with getting the patches to adhere to their noses. One reviewer wrote: "The only complaint I have is that they are too large for my nose and the fit is a little wonky on the tip of my nose. I think they'd fit perfectly for someone with a broader set nose."
"The only cons are that they will dry you out a bit so wash your face after and lightly hydrate and maybe exfoliate a bit," shared one shopper. "Also the nose pieces never adhere to the sides of my nose as well as the top. Outside of that, for smaller pores these patches can’t be beat."
"My nose is so clear after ONE USE. Recommend this 100%," said one happy shopper.
