Mighty Patch… Does This Acne Patch Work?
We have not one, not two, but THREE teenagers in our house. Two things that are never in short supply are teen drama and zits! Over the past four years, we have tried almost every acne product on the market, so when our children suggested the Mighty Patch, we were a little skeptical, but when two of our children were facing sudden breakouts, we finally gave in.
How did it work? We were shocked!
What is the Mighty Patch?
Mighty Patches are hydrocolloid strips that claim to eliminate breakouts without drying your skin. What is a hydrocolloid, you may ask? It’s actually a moisture-absorbing dressing that was originally designed for wound care. And, to a self-conscious teenager, a zit can be a wound to your soul, so this may be a perfect solution!
Unlike cleansers, ointments, or creams, you place these strips (or small dots for those of you with just one cute little pimple) and simply go to sleep. The manufacturer of the Mighty Patch claims that they will shrink your zits in just 6 hours and that they have 50% more medication than other brands.
A Zit Solution You Wear!
Hydrocolloid strips are extremely thin and comfortable. For the Mighty Patch, we tested the Original dots (12mm dots) and the Surface XL Patch (60x25mm strips). For single whiteheads, the original dots are small, comfortable, and barely noticeable. The strips are comfortable as well, but our in-house reviewers did say that they noticed them occasionally when they rolled over while sleeping. After one or two nights, however, it was barely noticeable. The single dots cost about $.31 each, while the strips cost around $1.79.
How Did You Test It?
Our testers included three different teenagers with different levels of acne issues. Before trying the Mighty Patch, each teenager had tried approximately six different products. The oldest teenager used only the dots for single whiteheads, while the other two (one boy and one girl) used a combination of the strips and the dots.
But Does It Work?
As with any acne product, the ultimate question is always simple: Does It Work? For the Mighty Patch, the answer is also simple: YES!!!
As I said, we were extremely skeptical about the Mighty Patch. After trying numerous miracle products, this is one of the only ones that lived up to the hype! For the single whiteheads, they were virtually eliminated in ONE NIGHT! For our children who had larger breakouts, they wore the strips for either two or three nights, with a dramatic improvement each morning. After that, their visible acne was virtually eliminated. While they still had some discoloration (more on eliminating that in another review), the whiteheads were gone!
