You’ve seen Justin and Hailey Bieber wearing Starface Hydro-Star Pimple Patches in a zillion social media posts and paparazzi photos. Now’s the time to try them for yourself if you haven’t already. Today, October 9, the TikTok viral zit stickers are only $10 and change, thanks to Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.
Placed atop an acne spot, the hydrocolloid patches absorb fluid to minimize redness and the appearance of swelling. Plus, they prevent you from picking and prematurely popping pimples, helping speed up healing time and prevent scarring. “They totally help heal a pimple way faster, so if I’m breaking out, I will always sleep with one of these on,” Hailey shared in a 2021 YouTube video.
But the Biebers aren’t the only celebrities who swear by Starface zit stickers. Over the years, Kim Kardashian, Anne Hathaway, Florence Pugh, Addison Rae, Noah Beck, PinkPantheress, and numerous other stars have been spotted with colorful stars on their faces. Trust me, you’ll be a fan, too, after seeing the difference they make—and scoring them for 30 percent off during October Prime Day.
According to Julie Schott, Starface founder and former ELLE beauty director, over 200 Hydro-Stars were sold every minute over the last four years. “Our generation grew up being told you have a ‘before and after,’ and until you get to the after, you’re ugly and flawed,” she told ELLE in a recent interview. “But what if it was actually okay to have acne, because that’s what happens to human skin sometimes, and so what?”
If the brand’s signature yellow isn’t your jam, you can grab the celeb-loved acne treatment in a rainbow of color options for 20 percent off at the Starface Amazon storefront. But October Prime Day ends tonight at midnight PST, so you’ll need to shop fast to save on skincare.
