[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy this sunscreen. Its hydrating, protecting and feels great on the skin. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling suffocated or clogged. It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave a white cast. Makeup layers overtop nicely. It’s also buildable throughout the day. I love the packaging as well.

I have terrible luck with sunscreen, I did a patch test on my neck and my forehead and no tingle or redness or burning. My skin is highly reactive. I'm hoping it will be the one since I spent so much money finding the right spf.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm sold on this. I have reddish skin, and this evens out my skin tone and is also nice and matte. It is also super light as the title indicates. Has no smell, doesn't run into my eyes, and looks great. I've subscribed and get it every couple of months now.

I absolutely love this Hero Skin Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30. It works so good as an apf but also doesn't bother my acne and doesn't make my face break out more from using it. I will definitely be purchasing in the future when this tube runs starts to run out. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for forgetting about acne breakouts, it eliminates them faster than any targeted treatment I've had before. My menstrual period causes them and using it there's nothing in the way, it's not heavy or has a bad smell, it doesn't leave a white residue and it's easy to spread. .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried plenty of sunscreens, but Hero Cosmetics' Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 truly stands out. From the first application, I love how lightweight and comfortable it felt on my skin—no greasy residue, no heaviness. I have normal skin with some redness, and the sheer green tint in this sunscreen helps tone it down beautifully. Unlike many mineral sunscreens that leave a white cast, this one blends seamlessly, giving my skin a smooth, natural look. A major plus is that it works effortlessly with my skincare routine. It absorbs quickly, sits nicely under makeup, and doesn’t cause breakouts. Finding a sunscreen that’s acne-friendly, non-comedogenic, and fragrance-free is rare, but this one checks all the boxes! The formula features zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—two powerful mineral UV filters that provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Despite its effectiveness, it feels weightless on my skin, making it perfect for everyday wear. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a sample of this for free with my last order. This stuff is great. Its a smidgen greasy, but not in a way that makes you feel oily, just Uber moisturized. It takes a bit for it to soak in, but it doesn't leave a white cast. Great choice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best sunscreens I have tried. It also works pretty well as a base layer to my BB cream and other skin tints. It is super lightweight and hydrating but does NOT have a greasy feel. It absorbs pretty quick into my skin, giving "ready for the summer sun, vibes" instantly! I hate using thicker creams in the summertime, as it makes me sweat even while applying. So needless to say, I really love the gel-cream consistency of the product too. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sunscreen is fantastic! It is hydrating, but doesn’t leave my skin greasy, and it applies without a white cast. There’s not really a scent and it works well over make up. I’m obsessed like I am with all hero products I’ve tried.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best sunscreens I have ever tried in a very long time . I was afraid at first because I have super sensitive skin and everything breaks me out . But this did not I was very pleased with the out come it does come out green but blends in to your skin quickly and evens out your face so good I didn’t even need my bb cream sometimes I just apply this sunscreen and a little blush and I’m good. Definitely will repurchase and I recommend for people who struggle in the sunscreen department. I also noticed there is little to no scent , and it’s very moisturizing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 is a skin care essential for me! It provides protection from UVA and UVB rays without clogging my pores. The formula feels extra light on my skin, doesn't pill, and blends well. I keep a travel-size bottle in my purse so I can reapply throughout the day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the best,most lightweight and sensitive skin friendly sunscreens I have ever used. There is NO white cast and it sinks in like a dream. Looks amazing under makeup and doesn’t bother my skin at all. Lightweight and doesn't look greasy or feel too heavy on the skin. I love it
