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 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.
