faq

what's the difference between hydro-star refill and hydro-stars + big yellow?

hydro-stars + big yellow includes a cute mirrored compact filled with 32 yellow hydrocolloid patches, while hydro-star refills come with 32 patches for replenishing your compact. you might prefer big yellow when you’re starting your collection so you have somewhere to store your patches, and then switch to refill packs when you need a restock :)

how effective are classic hydro-stars?

classic hydro-stars are clinically proven to absorb gunk and shrink pimples in just 6 hours thanks to a 100% hydrocolloid formula. these bestselling patches help reduce redness and protect spots from outside interference so you can feel cute caring for your skin.


hydro-stars are safe for sensitive skin and dermatologist tested.

what size are yellow hydro-star patches?

hydro-star patches are 14mm, which makes them perfect for shrinking surface-level pimples and juicy whiteheads. their lil star arms are also great for reaching spots in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, like the corner of your nose or side of your lip.

how long should i wear hydro-stars?

wear classic hydro-stars for at least 6 hours [overnight works great!]. our improved star formula means hydro-stars have double the stick for longer-lasting grip, even through sleep or a full day of wear <3

what spots are hydro-stars best for?

yellow hydro-stars are best for surface-level pimples and juicy whiteheads. try them when your pimple comes to a head or when you want a lil extra coverage.

Essential restock!

"I'm so glad they offer these refill packs! It’s the smartest and most eco-friendly way to stock up on my favorite classic yellow stars while continuing to reuse my cute Big Yellow compact. They are consistently amazing at pulling out impurities and protecting my skin. I always keep these on hand."

Wishing for Less Plastic

"Love these refills, no complaints except they come in multiple plastic packs. Would love something completely recyclable, like the cardboard box the whole set comes in. Besides that, they are great and do their job perfectly. Cute star, treats blemish, does exactly what I need."

"always a staple in my skincare routine. adorable packaging and plenty to last me quite a long time."

Chloe S. (5/5)

The OG for a reason.

"The OG for a reason. The hydro-star has the best grip of all the stars I've tried. It stays on the skin until the spot starts healing and then loosens up naturally so I know when to take it off. It has great coverage and helps my skin maintain its moisture barrier when it's already suffering. I love how I can wear these out and feel confident that I still look good."
