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

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.

This is a great product, I highly recommend it. The coverage is great for my dry combination skin. I've never had any issues with my sensitive skin. I do recommend this product,it gives great coverage and leaves the skin soft. Great price.

I’m in my early forties and for the past couple years struggled find coverage that didn’t look caked on or greasy. This stuff is great just a pea sized amount will put a light layer over your whole face and leave you with a blended natural look.

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!

This stuff works pretty well to cover any redness that I experience from Rosacea for an easy day to day look. It’s great as a base under foundation too if you’re going a bit more glam.

I adore this product. Works great to cover up red marks and discoloration. Great for days that you just want light coverage rather than a full face of makeup. My skin is very prone to breakouts, and this does not irritate it at all.

Just used it now for the first time, and it’s great! It takes VERY LITTLE to cover, is easy to apply, feels lightweight, no scent, looks good…what more could you want?!!? I’m a happy camper with this!

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.
