HORRIBLE new formula
This was the ONLY product that has ever worked to color correct my rosacea. This new formula is disgustingly oily and DOES NOT cover up redness whatsoever! So disappointed with you Hero, please change the formula back.

Awful formulation, needs answers.
Agreed with many individuals here. People are upset and it makes total sense. Let’s get these people some answers please Target, We understand hero is the brand, but let’s please get with the brand and get an update to these people. People are wanting to know when the old formula is returning? It’s obvious the formula worked very well before, and now since this is a skin condition this can mess with a lot of people’s livelihood. Choosing to not respond to the questions is honestly just rude & harsh aside from being highly unprofessional, I myself have tried to Q&A asking when the old formula is coming back, and my Q&A never got approved.

New formula awful
I have really bad rosacea and this became my go to but the new formula is so awful. It’s greasy and doesn’t take away any redness. Why did you change it? Please bring back the old formula.

The original formula is the only one out of two products I’ve ever used on my acne. Please bring it back I am going insane and my skin will soon when I run out.

Terrible new formula.
The new formula is horrific. I used to love using this every morning I went through 2-3 tubes monthly. Can’t say I’ll be buying this again - greasy and no coverage at all

New formula is not good
I swore by the original formula. I used it instead of foundation because it made my skin look so great. This new formula doesn’t have that same effect. It’s no different than any of the other green primers on the market. I’ll be looking for something to replace this in my makeup bag now. Very disappointing!

Dont buy. Not the same. Greasy!
Don’t buy. New formula is awful- Greasy, shiny, and looks brownish on. Wore the old formula for years. I’ll cherish the last drops of my last tube. Ugh.

DO NOT BUY NEW FORMULA
New formula is HORRIBLE. Will have to find something else which is sad because I’ve used this everyday for year. Very disappointed. If it’s not broke don’t fix it.

Sad new formula
I’m so sad with this new formula. It’s like putting an oil mess on my face. The old formula was so perfect and was a perfect green that actually covered my redness. I’m so sad with this change. Please bring back the old formula.

Inferior in every way
New formula is worthless. Super oily and zero coverage. Also, see size comparison of the OG vs newbie … inferior in every way and the same price.

Garbage new formula - do not buy or repurchase
Have to add to the voices calling for the old formula to come back. It worked so well. Now this new formula does nothing but leave a sticky finish on my face with no redness coverage. Complete trash, would give zero stars if I could and will be returning the opened bottle because it’s that bad.

New formula not good
As someone with bad rosacea this was my favorite favorite product that I used daily. Just used new formula for the first time and it has way less coverage than before and leaves my face feeling very greasy and sticky. Please go back to old formula!!!!!

Great product for dry, sensitive skin
I tried this for the first time in its new formulation, and I love it. I have very dry/sensitive skin (due to aging plus having taken accurate as a teen). Medium skin tone with pink undertones, which tends to get very red. Many products with heavier coverage are just too drying for me, and I hate the feel of foundation and prefer to wear as little makeup as possible. This is sheer but absolutely tones down the redness and gives me a smooth even skin tone without obscuring the natural rosiness in my cheeks. It doesn’t cover spots or blemishes, but I wouldn’t expect a color-correcting balm to do so. I have been doing moisturizer, sunscreen, the rescue balm, then touching up any blemishes or dark spots with Too Faced Born this Way concealer (also very moisturizing and sheer, needs to be built up a bit but is one of the few concealers I’ve found that doesn’t cake on my dry skin). Took one star off because the tube is so dang small.

used to be amazing, now its terrible!
I am so disappointed with the new formula. This used to be my holy grail product for covering up my rosacea. Before the formula change, this product would have received an easy 5/5 stars. Now, it does nothing to cover up my redness and just leaves my face extremely greasy and orange. Please bring back the old formula, why fix something that is not broken? :(
