Pimple, Meet Your Mighty Patch

Popular media from the 90’s and 2000’s had most of us believing that getting a pimple was the actual end of the world. And ever since, we’ve been making monsters out of our zits. But what if there was a little patch that you could stick on, chill, then peel off to reveal clearer-looking skin? Enter the Mighty Patch—gentle, yet effective hydrocolloid patches that are your secret weapon in the fight against those pesky zits. And with the results that speak for themselves, getting a pimple will never be a big deal before date night ever again. So here’s to popping the power of the pimple, once and for all.
