While working at Birchbox this spring, I got to sample lots<\/em> of monthly beauty<\/a> goodies. The serums, sunscreens<\/a>, and lip balms were like candy<\/a> to me, but I also got to try out some of the best acne treatment products on the market–and a few were life-changing discoveries.<\/p>\n

At the top of that list was acne spot remover Mighty Patch by Hero Cosmetics. Game. Changer. If you have not yet tried these tiny little life-savers, you must: These blemish patches work like little clear bandaids that you stick on your zit to, literally, suck the junk out of your skin. I wear them to sleep (the BF has never noticed), but braver souls totally wear them outside–yes, outside–since they are completely clear. They’re the most effective spot treatment I’ve tried.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While Mighty Patch is my favorite quick fix, the skincare experts at Birchbox have opened my eyes to some other amazing acne spot removers\/zit zappers. Some of these are spot treatments like blemish patches, others are all-over skin serums for acne. There are a lot of good products with amazing customer reviews<\/a>, but I’m lucky enough to have Renee Pacor, Birchbox’s Senior Skincare Merchant, available by speed-email whenever I need personal recommendations. Straight from the experts, here are five of the best acne treatment products you need to know about now.<\/div>\n
