Summary of reviews

This sunscreen is praised for its lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and provides excellent sun protection without leaving a white cast. Many guests appreciate its ability to hydrate the skin while reducing redness, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. The subtle green tint is a bonus for those with rosacea. However, some guests experienced breakouts, so spot testing is recommended before full use.

    This is my favorite daily sunscreen. It initially has a tiny white cast but it soaks in well after a few minutes. It’s not greasy or anything and I never even notice a sunscreen smell. I have combo skin FYI.

    Peeling and White Cast

    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Sal - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    I was so disappointed with this one and regret buying the fool size. It is lightweight and doesn't cause me to break out but it peels like crazy and has a white cast. The white cast goes away but as soon as the white cast is gone the peeling starts. I have tried wearing it multiple ways and can't seem to avoid the peeling. If it doesn't start peeling immediately it always ends up peeling as you were it. Definitely can't reapply every few hours.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] if this came in a liter size with a pump, i would probably buy it for the rest of my life. it's 100% mineral meaning you don't have to worry about allergies to any chemical filters. it is super lightweight, moisturizing, and blends right in! it's also great for re-application throughout the day without any crazy white cast. cannot recommend enough!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only face sunscreen I use now. It's never made me break out and I've never gotten a sunburn while wearing it. It doesn't leave a green cast and is a great base layer under makeup. The travel size is so handy too!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Es el primer protector solar físico que no deja rastro y elimina los granos en horas, es mas rápido que los tratamientos focalizados que he usado, incluyendo de esta marca, con la menstruación no me salieron granos. Es muy ligero y fresco en la piel, no es pesado para colocarlo, su olor es agradable y muy sutil. Estoy fascinada con el!!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sunscreen has become a staple in my daily routine, and I absolutely love it! It provides excellent hydration, leaves no white cast, and is gentle on my skin—no breakouts whatsoever. The added green tint is a game-changer, effectively neutralizing any redness for a more even complexion. Highly recommend it!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve never tried a tinted sunscreen before so being a huge fan of HERO, u had to try this one. Especially when it helps conquers redness, like acne. I really love this product, it’s not greasy and layers really well under my liquid foundation. The clean ingredients are major as well, I’m sure will only get better from here on o it. I will definitely buy again.

    I am very pale so wearing sunscreen is an everyday thing for me. However, I have never been able to find a face sunscreen that I like. They either leave me oily, get chalky, break me out, leave a white cast, or are overpriced. This all changed with the Superlight sunscreen! It's worth the price (which I don't think is bad in the first place) and it doesn't break me out or make me super oily.

    This is my go-to facial sunscreen! It’s not greasy and blends seamlessly into my skin. I appreciate it does not leave a white cast. It truly just feels like a typical face lotion compared to a sunscreen. I’ve never gotten burnt wearing it!

    Caused Breakout and Itchy/Flaky Skin

    3 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    livi - 4 months ago
    I like the idea of this sunscreen being a lightweight solution to protect the skin from the sun. It works for several of my friends and they all love it. However, upon using the product (2 finger lengths which is encouraged for face sunscreen), within 2 hours my face broke out in the worst rash and burning sensation. My eyes were burning, and i could feel cystic acne forming. I don’t typically have sensitive skin and have used multiple mineral sunscreens before without any problems. I was left with acne and flaky skin after using this product. I tried the product a second time under makeup and had the same reaction. My makeup also sat so bad over this product and was separating. I definitely recommend buying the travel size and spot testing on your wrist/neck first if you are wanting to try this product. I know it can work well for others, but I would not risk buying the full size without testing.
