What Hero Cosmetics Co-Founder Ju Rhyu Uses on Her Acne-Turned-Ageless Skin, Why The Mighty Patch *Actually* Works and The Surprising Stick-On Were in For Next

Published: Aug. 2, 2023, 7 a.m.

In this uninterrupted episode in partnership with Hero Cosmetics, we chat with brand co-founder Ju Rhyu about the making of The Mighty Patch, the translucent acne sticker that now sells once every 2 seconds. You\u2019ll find out what makes Hero\u2019s medical-grade hydrocolloid patch superior to the many dupes that have cropped up since its 2017 launch (the shade!), along with the best way to work its mighty magic into your makeup routine.


You\u2019ll hear about:

  • Why Reddit was a goldmine for understanding acne-sufferers\u2019 needs in the brand\u2019s development
  • How to layer concealer with the acne patch (over or under- we find out once and for all!) 
  • Ju\u2019s personal skincare routine - from a luxe retinol facial oil to her fave French pharmacy find
  • The one up-and-coming beauty brand she thinks needs to be on our radar
  • The innovative, acne-meets-aging fix that she\u2019s dropping next
