We all went through that heinous nose pore strip phase: the cheap strips that peeled off half your skin and left you with a red nose enviable by Rudolph himself.
Never again.
Well, wipe that image from your mind, because these nose strips from Hero Cosmetics are a totally different beast – set to help clear away gunk and nasties from your nose and shrinking spots without wrecking your skin while it’s at it.
Extra-large, thin, and great for night-time use, the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose is the brand’s newest innovation, consisting of ten XL hydrocolloid strips that have been shaped to perfectly fit the contours of your nose so no spot goes untouched.

Whether you’re a spot picker or just want that extra layer of protection for your breakouts, these nose strips, aside from drawing out gunk and nasties, help to protect and camouflage the spots, encouraging healing to reveal a smaller, flatter spot when you awake.
Yep, that means you can wave goodbye to painful pore peel-aways and dry, irritated skin – these strips are ultra-gentle, crafted from medical-grade hydrocolloid to protect your skin as it heals.
They’re utterly easy to use, too, with application as simple as cleaning and drying your skin, applying the patch and leaving for six to eight hours – during which time the patch helps to prevent picking and popping, which can cause further irritation.
When the patch turns white (or you’re ready to take it off), then simply peel it off to reveal clearer skin. Magic!
But what is hydrocolloid, and why does it make such great pimple patches, we hear you ask?
Hydrocolloid has a gel layer that’s formulated with pectin and other ingredients that attract water and absorb fluids. As it draws in fluids, the patch changes from transparent to opaque white, which is all the gunk that was absorbed from the pimple.
Yep, you can really see your all your spots being absorbed, and we’re struggling to think of anything more satisfying.
While these brand-new strips don’t yet have any reviews, Hero Cosmetics’ other hydrolloid pimple products have thousands upon thousands of five-star reviews from users who call them the ‘best’ they’ve ever used, adding that they ‘really do work’.
Ready to try for yourself? Snap up a box of ten strips for just £14.99 now – a bona fide bargain, if you ask us.
