Feeling good in your bathing suit and your birthday suit is important, but it can be hard when you struggle with breakouts. I’d never experienced body breakouts until last year and was shocked by how annoying they were. You feel them under your clothes, and when you’re in a tank top, it’s all you think about. Hero Cosmetics came to the rescue, as usual, with a new acne-fighting innovation—their Mighty Patch Body XXL Patch ($15) with medical-grade hydrocolloid.
Just in time to help heal my breakouts ahead of bathing suit season I began trying Hero Cosmetics XXL Patch on my back for pesky pimples, but it can also be used on the chest, shoulders, butt and really anywhere you get a big breakout. Just like the brand’s pimple patches for the face, this patch absorbs gunk and helps reduce the appearance of acne, but this time on a bigger scale.

Hero’s patches are often worn overnight, but because I’m a skin picker, I like to have this patch on during the day so I don’t make any of my breakouts worse. It features notches so that it perfectly adheres to your body and its curves, so it won’t budge.
Apply on clean, dry skin and in six to eight hours, when you remove it, revel in all the gunk that’s clinging to the patch and no longer in your pores. You’ll notice a difference on first use, so if you’re about to go on a tropical vacation or just planning to hit the beach with friends and have a stubborn body breakout, this patch is your new bestie.
