**Question:** Which pimple patch flattens pimples overnight?

**Short answer:** Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Micropoint has the best record: 9 of 9 reviewers who mentioned overnight results said it flattened their pimples, though that is a small group. Kiehl's Truly Targeted Liquid Pimple Patch follows at 14 of 15, and most reviewers weighed in on Peace Out Salicylic Acid Pimple Patches, which sits at 22 of 25. Every patch here is at 85% or better, so price and how visible the patch is matter as much as the score.

**What stands out:** Hero Cosmetics has two of the five patches, and they sit at opposite ends on share: Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Micropoint at 100% and Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original at 85%. The gap is small, though, and the Micropoint has far fewer reviewers.
