These [Hello Kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-edition-toothpaste) pimple patches from [Starface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starface-1) are perfect for teens looking to combat their acne. Equal parts functional and adorable, these tiny cartoon cat-shaped patches mark the first collaboration for the [Gen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-sips) Z skincare brand, which launched in 2019.

Popular among the younger generations, these patches help teens embrace their acne by making skincare fun, while ensuring they take care of their skin's health. The pimple patches contain a unique formula that helps to draw out bacteria, effectively drying out one's spots without damaging the skin. Now, the patches take on a new form, and arrive in a matching Hello Kitty case that's equally as adorable. Each container boasts 32 patches and retails for a $14.99 USD price tag.
