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.

Better than the previous "improved" formula
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product had been a godsend to my skincare and a daily matte complexion fixing tool- often concealing redness without needing coverup, and a perfect formula for years before it was reformulated sometime last year/2025- the new formula was oily, didn't cover redness at all for me and terrible- backlash by consumers was at least was acknowledged. This newest reformulation is better than the oily one but nowhere near the original formula- at least it covers, is more matteish in finishing but shows some separation - hard to describe but where the original would blend completely to cover red areas with the surrounding skin (even on my fingertip with applying), the newest leaves little bits of color/not entirely blended so is a bit harder to apply. Why can't companies just stick with a product that is selling instead of trying to "improve" it? Aiming to be more "moisturizing" made it oily- the correction to the miscorrection is still missing something. . . :-/

An Improvement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im going to start off by saying it’s not the same as the original formula. However, it has improved from the previous formula. It still feels a bit oily but I don’t mind it. I think it looks a little more patchy on me but that might just be because I’m low on setting spray. I wish Hero would go back to manufacturing in South Korea because that was my favorite formula. This new one actually conceals my redness. Overall it is good coverage, nice pigment, and an improvement.

Wonderful
I like the coverage and matte finish of the new improved Hero Cosmetic Rescue Balm + Red Correct! I did see a difference when applying the balm to the red areas of my face! However, I do think the balm is a bit thick and tacky when it dries. I think it would be better to use in the winter, but in the summer it makes my face feel tacky and extra sticky. Overall, I like the coverage and it is easy to rub into the skin. And I think the price point is affordable! I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad

Worth trying
I'm a huge fan of the original Rescue Balm so I was looking forward to trying this Red Correct version. I found that the product works the same as the original Rescue Balm. However, this may be more beneficial for people of color like me because of the tint that it has. Overall I recommend this for people who get frequent pimples and need help recovering from the pimples.
