Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen SPF 30 - Everyday SPF 30 for Acne-Prone Skin with Zinc Oxide, Green Surge, and Extremolytes - Fragrance Free and Reef Safe (50 ml)

This is my favorite mineral sunscreen and checks nearly every box. Doesn't pill easily, affordable price, no fragrance, no silicones, amazing ingredients, and I love the green tint, which does make a slight difference in evening out my skin tone (I have some mild melasma from pregnancy). It also gives a nice glass skin finish without veering off into looking greasy (especially 15-30 minutes post-application).I bought this product at a 40% discount, and I was right to expect that the product would be very close to its expiration date. I decided to risk it, because it was the only way to get this sunscreen in the EU at an affordable price, when factoring in the international shipping costs and taxes. I wish this weren't so close to the expiration date, but given the pump packaging and the fact that it's a mineral sunscreen (which I'm assuming will not break down like a chemical one might), I decided to risk using this after the expiration date.

It's my favorite! Reef safe, fragrance-free, silicone-free and non-irritating, plus perfect for both oily and dry skin. I've worn it in humid and dry climates and haven't felt sticky or broken out. It goes on the skin smoothly and I really like the ease of pumping it out of the tube. I was nervous about using it at first because I have super sensitive skin but I've been using it with no problems.It's also perfect for travel since it meets TSA requirements.My only hope for the product is that it would serve a higher SPF. 30 just doesn't feel like enough most days.

Love it so far. Wears well under makeup, no white cast (my skin color is white so do with that what you will). I don’t find that the green tint does anything but I don’t mind it at all. Doesn’t have a smell really, which I appreciate. I wish the SPF was a little higher but overall it does the job

I have been struggling with adult acne for years, but this has really helped my skin. I have combo skin that leans towards oily, I tried a few other mineral sunscreens because I heard they helped with acne and this one is IT. The green tint helpsish with evening out skin tone, but there is no white cast and after using it for about 2 weeks I have had no new break outs and the one I had is slowly fading away, I also go painful neck acne and that has subsided as well. This is definitely going to be a staple in my skincare routine.

Although I didn't grow up this way, I have been an anti-UV guy for a dozen years thanks to spouse.In SoCal I wear sunscreen daily on my face, but catch-22 is most zinc-based make you look white like a ghost, or they are tinted tan to look like makeup.Having tried 100+ similar SPF 15-30 daily face products (got them free from my biz) over the last 10 years, this is by far my favorite. The green also helps cancel out shaving redness on my neck and face.My only complaint about Hero? I wish they made a similar product that was SPF 50+ and water resistant for 80+ minutes, so I also could have something to wear during physical activity and mid-day during summer when UV index is highest.

I was intrigued by this sunscreen based off the positive tik tok reviews that I saw. I think for a mineral sunscreen, this one is good but not the best (I prefer the Elta MD UV elements). The sunscreen itself is pretty thin for a mineral SPF and but sometimes leaves a bit of a whitecase on me when blended in (I'm not even that tan so for darker skintones I can see this being a problem). I find that sometimes it pills and sometimes it doesn't so I guess it doesn't love certain products in my skincare routine but I haven't figured out what yet. Overall its ok but I would reach for the Skin 1004 Sun Serum over this any day since the consistency is thinner and it feels more hydrating. I probably would not repurchase this but it's not bad in any way just not the best.

I have always hated how sunscreen feels on my face. Even “non greasy” sunscreen always feels gross. That is not the case with this product. I actually wear this sunscreen every day and I can’t tell I even have it on. Also, I have sensitive skin and I have gotten chemical burns from certain brands in the past. So far my skin has done well with this. I will purchase again!

This is the only facial sunblock I’ve ever liked and used consistently. It doesn’t feel chalky or sticky - it feels like applying moisturizer and soaks into my skin. I wear it under makeup and have spent hours outside with no sunburn. It also doesn’t break me out.
