  • Good for: Redness
  • Good for: Dryness
  • Best for: Normal skin

Details & care

What it is: A new multitasking green recovery cream that soothes dry, flaky skin while blurring redness with its color-correcting green tint.

Who it's for: Fair to medium skin tones.

What it does: A subtle green tint with hi-tech color-changing pigments that activate as you blend, turning from green to beige in seconds to camouflage redness and leave skin glowing all day long. Perfectly lightweight for daytime use, Rescue Balm +Red Correct soothes and visibly restores dry, flaky skin with powerful antioxidants and peptides.

How to use: Apply as the last step in your AM skincare routine over SPF, or as a tone-evening primer under makeup.

Pro tips: A little goes a long way, dab a dot on blemished spots. For bigger areas, start with a pea-sized amount, blend out, and watch the color-changing pigments work their magic.

Skin calmer

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.

Makes me look orange

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.

Miss 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.

Go back to the original formula

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.

A lot of people have shared similar feedback. We took that feedback seriously and went back to the lab. The New & Improved Rescue Balm + Red Correct brings back the fuller coverage and more matte finish that came through clearly in feedback like yours. We'd love to follow up. Watch for an email to arrive soon!

Bring back the old formula

I used this product daily until the formula recently changed, the new formula doesn’t blend, work, or feel nearly as well as the previous one did.
