Used to be my favorite, but still a good option.
I’ve gone through a lot of these over the years, (according to my order history I’ve bought these at least 7 times). They really are amazing for early stage, under the skin, and painful pimples. However, over the past year I’ve switched to using the Peach Slices Deep Blemish Microdarts for a couple of reasons. 1) the price of the PS patch is a little cheaper and 2) you get 9 patches with PS while HC patches only gives you 8. The two patches are very similar, and the only reason I would choose the Hero Cosmetic patches over the Peach Slices is if you have a sensitivity to tea tree (which the PS patches contain but the HC ones do not).
