    Not as good as the OG formula from korea

    I was hesitant to tet this after being disappointed when they changed the formula last time. I still had some of the OG formula, made in korea. I'm not sure what separation issues it had, I never had that issue. It covered the redness well, blended into skin perfectly, went under makeup well, and would be worn alone. This new and improved formula, for comparison covered the redness and is not sticky, however it leaves my skin very orange so it cannot be worn alone. It also does not go under makeup well. So, I am once again disappointed. I wish they'd listen to their customers and return to the original formula.

    Better than the previous "improved" formula

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product had been a godsend to my skincare and a daily matte complexion fixing tool- often concealing redness without needing coverup, and a perfect formula for years before it was reformulated sometime last year/2025- the new formula was oily, didn't cover redness at all for me and terrible- backlash by consumers was at least was acknowledged. This newest reformulation is better than the oily one but nowhere near the original formula- at least it covers, is more matteish in finishing but shows some separation - hard to describe but where the original would blend completely to cover red areas with the surrounding skin (even on my fingertip with applying), the newest leaves little bits of color/not entirely blended so is a bit harder to apply. Why can't companies just stick with a product that is selling instead of trying to "improve" it? Aiming to be more "moisturizing" made it oily- the correction to the miscorrection is still missing something. . . :-/

    An Improvement

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im going to start off by saying it’s not the same as the original formula. However, it has improved from the previous formula. It still feels a bit oily but I don’t mind it. I think it looks a little more patchy on me but that might just be because I’m low on setting spray. I wish Hero would go back to manufacturing in South Korea because that was my favorite formula. This new one actually conceals my redness. Overall it is good coverage, nice pigment, and an improvement.

    Wonderful

    I like the coverage and matte finish of the new improved Hero Cosmetic Rescue Balm + Red Correct! I did see a difference when applying the balm to the red areas of my face! However, I do think the balm is a bit thick and tacky when it dries. I think it would be better to use in the winter, but in the summer it makes my face feel tacky and extra sticky. Overall, I like the coverage and it is easy to rub into the skin. And I think the price point is affordable! I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad

    Worth trying

    I'm a huge fan of the original Rescue Balm so I was looking forward to trying this Red Correct version. I found that the product works the same as the original Rescue Balm. However, this may be more beneficial for people of color like me because of the tint that it has. Overall I recommend this for people who get frequent pimples and need help recovering from the pimples. ** I received this product as a sample. **

    It’s back and better

    I’m so happy they made the original formula again and even better. It covers my redness even more now and I love that price is lower now. Love the new cute matte packaging too. It’s perfect for summer to get rid of my redness without having to wear foundation. The summer I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad

    Bring the old formulation back!

    Why try fixing what isn’t broken?! It went from a rich creamy great coverage formulation to a watery too translucent mess. Super disappointing.

    Wanted More Redness Coverage

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like the updated Rescue Balm + Red Correct, but I didn't see the level of redness correction I was expecting. It felt nice on my skin and blended easily, but my redness was still visible after application. It may work better for others depending on their skin, but it just didn't provide enough color correction for me. #ad

    Disappointed

    I loved the old version of this. Now it doesn't cover as well and leaves my face oily & sticky and I don't have oily skin. I think they put way too much oil in it. It doesn't have a matte feel anymore.

    New Formula is Horrendous

    This used to be a product I used several times a week and repurchased steadily. The new formula is horrible, though. The product is greasy and does not blend or cover up any redness. I won’t be repurchasing unless Hero Cosmetics goes back to the previous formula.

    Love this!

    This product does an amazing job of hiding redness from pimples without feeling oily on my skin. I have found that sometimes it oxidizes a little, but I’ve found using a setting powder over it fixes that (it’s not very noticeable even if you don’t).

    Bye Redness!

    I like that I can apply this under my makeup. It blends well into my skin. It does not feel heavy or clog my pores. It minimizes redness really well. The new formula gives better coverage and a more matte finish. The new lower price point adds to the appeal. This another effective product from hero cosmetics.
