This sunscreen is praised for its lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and provides excellent sun protection without leaving a white cast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work outdoors so wearing sunscreen is a MUST but you will never catch me with a chemical sunscreen since it makes you sweat more and mineral sunscreens left my face as pale as a ghost, but not with this one! I received it for free at first but now I've been repurchasing for over a year! When reapplying it can leave the slightest of cast but only for about 3 minutes, then its transparent. Doesn't make me look greasy and it's very gentle with acne prone skin

After trying this product it did not give me skin a bad reaction and is great for all skin types and sensitive skin. I really love how it has clean ingredients and no harsh chemicals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this sunscreen! I'm fair skinned and so is my teen daughter, and we both suffer with acne and breakouts as well. Because of this, I hate sunscreens that are oily & make your face look greasy after use. This definitely does NOT do that, and actually was the only sunscreen that has NEVER broken either of us out. I should also mention that this sunscreen doesn't leave a white cast and blends very well leaving a beautiful, matte finish. I would highly recommend this sunscreen for people of all ages.

I really liked the non-overbearing smell of this sunscreen. The texture, color, and application process are all balanced. With the majority of sunscreens, oily skin does not play well, but this one was just okay. They have others that are better suited for oily skin as well. This didn't pill too bad with minimal makeup and other skin care, as long as I let everything get absorbed between layering. It's okay to reapply as needed, and the price is decent. It's an added benefit that it helps tone down the redness in the skin. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #SweepstakesEntry

This product actually stays green (unlike their color corrector) and it's absolutely perfect for my super fair and red skin. If you have darker skin be warned that it doesn't blend out well in the wrinkles and corners of your face (for example at the edges of your nose) but for me those areas have the most redness and the green nearly matches my skin so it works perfectly.
Not a good product

I love hero rescue balm, and loved the idea of the green tint in a practical sunscreen. While this formula is super lightweight and smells AMAZING…. It has some issues that lead me to not want to buy it again. It leaves a white cast. Even though I am not sweating at my office it runs into my eyes and stings. Plus the packaging pump stopped working when I only used 1/4 of it so far.
Perfect!

I've tried 3 sunscreens (Anua, Dr. Jarts, and Hero). The Anua one was not for my skin type, so it broke me out. Then I tried Dr. Jarts it worked for my skin, but the lightweight fluid formula just didn't feel covering enough. Then, on my hunt for a new sunscreen, I found this one, I bought the mini and instantly fell in love. I bought the full size immedately!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm always up for trying a new facial sunscreen. I prefer mineral sunscreens, but not titanium dioxide, so I ordered this. I didn't realize it was slightly green, but that's okay. It does blend well and disappears, and it leaves a matte finish so that it doesn't look or feel greasy. It hasn't given me pimples (still a problem with products at 50+ years old). I appreciate that it has no silicones! How hard it is to find sunscreen without silicones! The price point is also amazing.
Must have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This super light SPF is amazing. It doesn’t label white cast and leaves your skin nice and glow. It doesn’t dry out your skin. It doesn’t burn your skin and it doesn’t cause brightness on the skin and it doesn’t have a harsh smell. I highly recommend this product this is my new SPF

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Acne-prone skin girly here! I've tried so many different brands: Tula, Eucerin, SuperGoop, La Roche-Posay, etc. and they all have broken me out! This one truly does not, and it barely leaves a white cast. I do have rosacea as well and this product definitely helps cover up the redness. I've purchased the product 2-3 times now. Interested in trying their Superbeam sunscreen now also but this one has not caused me any issues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Superlight sunscreen. It goes on very smoothly and is not greasy looking on the face. I’ve had no pilling but it does leave a very subtle white cast however it’s so subtle that it doesn’t bother me. Overall, this is one of the best mineral sunscreens I have ever used!

I am absolutely in love with Hero Cosmetics Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30! As someone who’s always on the lookout for a sunscreen that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, this one is a game-changer. The formula is so lightweight and absorbs quickly into my skin without leaving any white cast or sticky residue. It's the perfect base under makeup, and I love how it doesn’t clog my pores or cause breakouts.

I had tried a travel size a few years ago and really liked it. Unfortunately, this time I tried it, it did not work for me. Possibly because I am using a combination of prescription topicals and it just doesn’t blend well. It made my skin flaky and a few days later I had breakouts where I don’t normally breakout. I do like the redness reduction aspect though.

This caused my face to have a serious reaction. Super red and hot after applying. I tried it again to make sure it was this and it did it again. I do not have overly sensitive skin so unsure what it was, but cannot recommend
