Real talk: Acne happens to everyone — even pop superstars like Justin Bieber. The “Peaches” singer was snapped in Los Angeles rocking three pimple patches from the TikTok-famous skincare brand Starface. The best part? Starface's Black Star costs just under $13 for a pack of 32 stickers, or around 41 cents a patch — a total steal compared to pricer alternatives that cost more than double the price of Starface Black Star.

Key Specs

  • What Is It?: Fun, star-shaped hydrocolloid pimple patch that absorbs fluid, including dirt and oil, within the zits.

  • Where Can I Buy It?: The Black version is exclusively available through Starface. You can also purchase other colorways, including yellow, rainbow, and blue, via Amazon and Target.

  • Quantity: 32 hydrocolloid pimple patches

  • Rating: 5-star average from 4 Starface reviews

  • What Reviewers Are Saying: "These black star patches are literally so cute and are honestly the reason I exist now," says one 5-star review on Starface. Thousands of online reviewers are also obsessed with the OG sunshine yellow version. To quote one 5-star Starface review, "I keep these on me 24/7. They help me not pick my skin while also looking super cute!"

Sure, Bieber could have camouflaged his acne with skin-colored or clear pimple patches, such as the popular Mighty Patch Original from Hero Cosmetics, but I'm impressed he opted for Starface, a Gen Z-loved brand that aims to put a positive spin on acne. The company hopes that its unique design and fun colors will encourage you to sport their pimple patches in public — and that's exactly what these affordable stickers do.

The black star-shaped pimple patches are also, dare I say — stylish!? Hear me out: These Justin Bieber-approved Starface pimple patches were the first-ever zit stickers featured on models during New York Fashion Week. At the Puppets and Puppets show, lead makeup artist Fara Homidi applied these fashion-forward pimple patches onto fresh-faced models as an alternative to face gems and elbow-length gloves.

Aesthetics aside, the Starface pimple patches are also functional. Not only do they help shrink acne overnight, but they also prevent you from picking your acne, which can lead to discoloration, scarring, inflammation, and irritation. I can also attest that they're sticky, and their unique shape allows them to effortlessly cover zits on the sides of your nose and mouth area.

Oh, and JB isn't the only celebrity who proudly rocks Starface pimple patches. In addition to receiving social love from "Stranger Things" star Millie Bobby Brown and "Game of Thrones" star Masie Williams, Hailey Bieber considers the OG yellow Starface pimple patches a must-have in her nightly beauty routine. "They totally help heal a pimple way faster, so if I'm breaking out, I will always sleep with one of these on. And they look way cute," Bieber says on her YouTube channel. A couple that rocks pimple patches together, stays together — and we're totally here for their #couplegoals.
