Guests are saying
This sunscreen is appreciated for its lightweight, non-greasy formula that blends well and provides effective sun protection without causing breakouts. The green tint is noted to help with redness, making it a multi-functional product. However, some guests experienced issues with white cast, pilling, and difficulty blending, particularly on darker skin tones. The product's ability to sit comfortably under makeup and its gentle formulation for sensitive skin are highlighted as key benefits.

I love this sunscreen a lot! It blends in great! And the green color balances the red in my skin! But I have this very helpful app to help me figure out if a product is good for your skin or not. This one had a very low rating so I’m a little bit disappointed but if you don’t care about that everything else about it is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been struggling with contact dermatitis as well as eczema. I thought this would be great for my skin. It broke me out in pimples as well as eczema! The contact dermatitis went crazy on my cheeks. This also started to burn when I was sweating. I’m sad because I wanted this to work.

Hero's sunscreen is a game changer! It's reef safe, mineral formula is fragrance and silicone free, and it's clinically tested and non-irritating with a solid 30 SPF. I love that it's super light and absorbs quickly - must-have for my fair skin. Initially, it gives a slight green tint that actually helps cover redness, making it perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin. It primes your skin nicely and works great under makeup or on its own for an even finish. Although it's marketed for facial use, it works wonders on other areas too! Highly recommend, but maybe sample first to get used to the green tint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] . . . but nothing compares. Dozens of sunscreens over 3 decades, and I've hated them all. This is the only facial sunscreen that checks off everybox: great skincare, beautiful finish, feels invisible, doesn't make me breakout. The ONLY negative point is that it dries weird in my facial hair, so I have to be precise around my beard and eyebrows.

Best sunscreen out there! I've tried many many sunscreena, but really enjoyed using this particular product because it's for acne-prone skin like mine. I'm having breakout issues due to stress and hormones and this sunscreen has a green tint to it to balance out the red color in your skin to help camouflage and benefit your acne prone skin. Great for mature skin too, I've found this highly useful product and do recommend.

Doesn’t do anything for my redness but also doesn’t flare my rosacea or break me out. Slightly greasy but sits well under my foundation as long as I powder so if you’re going for a dewy look or have oily skin, this may not be for you.

I really love this stuff. If you have sensitive skin that almost nothing works for, this is for you!! The only thing wrong is the packaging. I bought it and about a month later it wouldn’t come out of the bottle anymore right. I’d give it ten stars if it was packaged better.
The best!

I’ve tried many different sunscreens, and this is the only one that hasn’t caused me to break out (rosacea)! The green tint evens out my constant redness. There isn’t a white cast once it sets in and it doesn’t feel greasy or irritating. I highly recommend giving this sunscreen a try! I bought the trial size first and then the big one.
Green tint camouflages my pink sensitive skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great mineral sunscreen with a green tint that camouflages my naturally pinky-toned skin. I am a fair redhead with red patches on my cheeks and this masks the redness quite well, as well as reducing the pinkiness on my body. It is not drying which I was concerned about and I have had no adverse reactions to it. It is priced too high for the amount you get so I hope that can be remedied soon.

Absorbs quickly, no strong scent, doesn’t irritate eyes and I do apply on my eye lids, no white cast and the green tint perfectly balances my warm fair and naturally rosy skin tone, really amazing! The only downfall of this product is it lasts me maybe 1-2 months applying once a day because it takes 3 pumps to get enough all over my face and an extra for my neck. I love the formula and everything about it but currently unemployed I can’t afford the $20 price tag so often, but when I get a job I absolutely will! Important to note that if you read the product it says to use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating, so keep in mind this is a great product to use daily under makeup or on its own <3 highly recommend. (I otherwise buy off amazon the Nivea UV water gel SPF 50 from Japan and that has lasted me with using 1-1.5 pumps over 6 months and still going strong, it’s a clear ish yellowish liquid that spreads super easily as it’s a thin gel, also no heavy scent and amazing all over the eyes, no breakouts, and water resistant for about $16)

For this Hero Superlight Sunscreen, the design of the tube is nice and makes dispensing easy. I like that it has a very smooth texture, doesn't smell like a typical sunscreen, and doesn't feel heavy on my skin. The green tint isn't noticeable, yet it reduced the redness on my face. This sunscreen goes beyond most because it also includes antioxidant superfood botanicals. It's a great product overall! Please note: I received this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions stated here are my own.
I love this sunscreen!

I was super psyched when I shared this Superlight Sunscreen by Hero Cosmetics on my socials, and they sent me a free one! Does it get any better than free?? Yes, it does! This truly is a very light and fast absorbing sunscreen. Plus, it doesn't make me break out, and it doubles as a makeup primer. I can wear makeup over it super easily and be protected from the sun. I love it, and I highly recommend it!
