Rescue Balm +red Correct

Hero Rescue Balm has been a great addition to my skincare routine. It helps reduce the appearance of redness and post-acne marks while keeping my skin moisturized without feeling greasy. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, layers well under sunscreen or makeup, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Although it doesn't make acne marks disappear overnight, with consistent use my skin looks calmer and more even.

I didn't realize they'd changed the formula and am so disappointed by this new (worse) version. I just checked and my original tube says it was made in Korea (known for making great skincare products), the new one says it's made in the US. The new one is sticky even hours after applying, doesn't blend in as well and doesn't correct red coloring as well. Such a bummer!

The original formula worked beautifully; smooth application and mild, but effective, redness coverage. It also was long lasting. The first "improvement" had virtually no actual redness coverage. I haven't tried the second "improvement" and don't plan to. I just don't get why Hero changed the original formula.

The "new" formulas don't work, they don't work well. I really wish hero would bring back the original formula! I'm looking at other brands to find what I need. With the original formula, I didn't need to wear makeup.

I wanted to cover up my blemishes while also treating them. This was not the solution. It left me with an obvious orange line between my jaw line and neck. I was very disappointed considering I love so many of their other products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the original but this newer formula is even better! It provides great coverage on my post blemish redness and works really well under my makeup. It also costs less, which is such a win! The packaging is great and it is something I always have on hand! #ad

This makes me so sad. I used this as basically a foundation and it worked so well my skin was beginning to heal and look so healthy and hydrated. This new formula feels nothing like the old, and doesn't cover like it used to. So bummed wont be buying the new version again.

I loved this rescue balm overhauled formula! The price point improvement is very affordable for the quality. It absolutely met my expectations and balanced my redness better than anything I've tried. It more than eliminated my redness with little product necessary, it also blurred my shine/oil, making the skin matte but didn't sacrifice feeling moisturized. Most notably for me, I found it extremely effective for giving a perfect base under makeup because my redness often will pop through even with concealer + foundation but not this time, the coverage is impressive! It works in about 15 seconds and I find tapping it in allows it to really blend and cover the redness. It was super gentle and calming as well, I would recommend it to anyone to try! #ad (I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. )

I've been using this product many days a week for years and I was able to deal with the first “improved formula”, but now it does not blend. Goes on pale green and dries white where it used to blend with my skin tone. There's also a lot of separation that I never experienced before. Kind of a disappointment as it was a staple. I hope hearts and minds can be changed and we get the old formula back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little tube dispenses as creamy green with micro capsules to color correct and mask the redness from recent and active breakouts. It is not as oily as the original Rescue Balm so it sits under makeup well. I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad
