Hero Cosmetics Rescue Balm + Red Correct: Post-Blemish Recovery Cream, Nourishing & Calming, Dermatologist Tested, Vegan (1.69 fl oz)

Mrs K here; from the generation that drank from the hose and never wore sunscreen, I didn't use a moisturizer except for Neutrogena stuff from the drugstore until I was about 25. Nearing 30 I began to take care of my skin, and at 50, with disciplined use of sunscreen and an expensive skin care routine it's in pretty good shape. Except for the fact that I'm very fair, very allergic, can get redness from a stray wind, and I don't love having to paint myself everyday to cover the redness. Chemotherapy six years ago left me with broken capillaries that make me look like the town drunk, without a lot of concealer and foundation, which fades by noon BTW, and it's a drag to deal with, especially as the rest of my skin glows. This tube of perfection makes me want to take a bank loan, build a storage space, and buy up all of the existing product on the planet, and hoard it. A little goes a long way; after primer, before makeup (you might stop using foundation). Afternoons, I rub a little over my cheeks and chin, and the redness is gone, without having to reapply coverage. It's not irritating, there's no scent, and it leaves a lovely, luminous glow, slightly matte but not flat, and alive, like my own skin.I'm not one to gush; I'm quite pragmatic and immune to gimmicks and trends. This is serious business: feeling confident in our skin isn't vanity. No one but you knows how you want to make up your face, and why- acne, scars, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, all of the crap conditions and situations that make us feel less than, are remedied by this, without makeup, without covering up, and I thank and bless this company for this product, because I just got a huge spring in my step from it. I'll never be out of it. A tube in my handbag and gym bag, and one in the bathroom, and no more crippling insecurity over what life events show on my face: just my healthy, natural skin that I've worked so hard to care for. Amazing, amazing stuff. Run, don't walk, etc.

I LOVE this! I have been using this for several months and am grateful for the larger size. My face turns red from meds that I take and this helps even it out. It is lightweight and nongreasy (unlike other redness relievers). It takes a couple minutes to absorb into the skin but then looks very natural and can layer for a bit better coverage. It doesn't pill and occasionally I'll add a light dusting of powder. It's makes my skin feel soft. I really love it!

PLEASE THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER! I have really bad and acne prone skin and I have not had anything like this! It is not greasy and my skin doesn’t break out because of it! Is adds no texture to my skin it’s just like a moisturizer. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK! IVE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING GOOD FOR MY SKIN BUT NOW ITS GONE:,(

I'm a lazy makeup girly, so I like that I can apply it with my fingers.FinishI like the light feel; it doesn't feel greasy or too drying on my combination skin. It looks similar to my natural skin. It doesn't just sit right on top of the skin like my other foundations.Redness CorrectingIt does a fantastic job cancelling redness. It creates an even tone with minimal fussing over precise application. I hardly had to build up product on my reddest acne areas.PriceI think this is a fairly priced product for the amount needed to apply and the size of the bottle itself.CONSColorI was really hoping the comments mentioning an orange tint was only pertinent for people fairer than me. Alas, I'm still a little orange. The last pic I uploaded shows the difference between my neck and face. My redness has always made my face appear a little darker than my neck, so it's something that isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me.CONCLUSIONIt's a product that I'm willing to experiment with because I love the ease of application, redness cancelling, and finish. I didn't apply any sunscreen or moisturizer before using the corrector, so I will have to play around with combining those. Perhaps diluting it with a bit of moisturizer will help mitigate some of the orangey tint. If Hero Cosmetics created a formula specifically for fairer skin tones then I'd be a brand loyalist for sure!

I love that it reduced the redness. I started to use this instead of any foundation or BB cream because I was so insecure with my acne and scars. Using this instead of makeup has cleared up my face significantly! I no longer break out because of the utilization of makeup or anything clogging my pores. The fact that all you need is a small amount is also a plus because it last forever.

I have dry skin and some aging spots and this stuff is great! It isn't sticky and its not thick.Great coverage and goes on so easily. My skin looks great after using.Highly recommend this as well as their other products

I love this product! Works great on my face. Hides redness well I could use this as a foundation for my face. Feels really great on. No unpleasant odor no irritation at all. My only disappointment is the size and the amount in the tube. It did not seem to be full. If you need to use it everyday it would become expensive. But it feels great on my face very soft and moisturizing. I didn’t feel that it was greasy at all. I will purchase again.

The product is great. It covers redness and looks so natural. I am very pale so a concern for me was it looking orange, no issues with that, blends into my skin perfectly. My issue with this product is with the packaging. It’s just a squeeze tube, I have the larger tube. The moment I open the cap product starts coming out. I end up wasting product because too much is coming up and I can’t put it back into the bottle. I also live in IL so nowhere with high elevation that would maybe cause this issue. It’s really frustrating I wish they could design it with a pump.
