    Missing the tinted version

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is pretty good as far as untinted face sunscreen goes. I bought it as a replacement after the tinted one was discontinued. It does apply with a bit of a white cast but it blends out with enough massaging. It doesn't blow me away as much as the tinted one which was my favorite face sunscreen ever!

    Exactly what I've been looking for

    I have very oily skin, and every other sunscreen I've tried has just contributed to that oiliness. This is the first sunscreen I've tried that, even paired with a moisturizer and worn under foundation, effectively helps my skin look matte throughout the day. I use this after an oil-free moisturizer and before I put on makeup, and I find that I'm blotting only once a day, in the afternoon, rather than the several times a day I used to. I'm very glad to have found this product.

    LOVE

    I have NEVER felt so loyal to a sunscreen. I have sensitive skin and have always been picky and sensitive to the sensory experience of sunscreens, lotions, makeups…they often make me feel extremely uncomfortable. This is the first sunscreen that I have no complaints about. I’ve also got pale, red skin and the green is great. Also the best mineral sunscreen that TRULY doesn’t give a white cast. If that wasn’t great enough, there also isn’t an obnoxious smell. Can’t write enoguh good things.

    The One and Only

    This is the one and the only SPF that touches my combination skin that is acne prone. It has earned my trust because it works. I use everyday and it is my primer step before makeup. It is lightweight and blends out beautifully.

    Great for oily skin

    As an oily skin lady, this is my go to sunscreen for all weathers. It goes on so smoothly and stays put throughout the day. It doesn’t cause any breakouts. It also layers beautifully with makeup.

    Great! But some overall skin concerns

    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!

    Not great for MY sensitive skin

    [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.

    Force Shield

    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.

    I've tried a million. . .

    [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.

    Great Sunscreen!

    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.

    Love this sunscreen

    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.

    Drying and does not neutralize redness

    Drying, not suitable for dry skin. The green tint does not help with redness or white cast. This also did not protect against sunburn during a 30 min exposure.
