HERO COSMETICSForce 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)

Love, love, love. This sunscreen is fantastic! I wish this was around when I was in my teens, 20's & 30's because then I would have worn sunscreen & not have developed the signs of aging & hyperpigmentation that currently are the bane of my existence!This sunscreen is ideal for those who have oily skin, have acne, oily skin, do not like the heaviness sunscreen or get breakout because of sunscreen or have problems with the white cast left by mineral sunscreen.I have all the above problems of oily skin, breakout with a lot of sunscreens, have dealt with the white cast of other sunscreens because I have medium to tan olive skin.I have to say, I was worried when I first squeezed the product out of the tube because it comes out in a pale green shade. I thought "Uh-Oh."Hero Force Shield goes on without a color or coverage, but the back of the tube says that the green tint to their sunscreen helps to balance out any redness in your complexion.But when I applied this to my face and gently rubbed in (does not require vigorous rubbing into your face) the green tint of this sunscreen disappeared, left a nice, lightweight & breathable finish. It worked nicely with my lightweight makeup application.I have LOTS of different kinds of sunscreen. I am embarrassed to say that I probably have close to 20 different sunscreens just for my face as I am always on the quest to find the perfect sunscreen (I realize perfect is subjective). This is one of most inexpensive facial sunscreens that I have purchased. Of my collection of facial sunscreen, only Australian Gold is cheaper than this. My collection of facial sunscreens range in price from $7 to $75.Hero Force Shield would be perfect IMHO if only it was spf 50. But that is just my personal preference. Most dermatologist say an Spf 30 is sufficient.I will continue to use & repurchase thisBy the way, it has a lovely matte finish but is not drying....it feels moisturizing without being heavy or greasy.I do not think this is waterproof or sweatproof so probably not ideal for a day at the beach.Anyway, if are looking for a lightweight, breathable sunscreen that works well with or without makeup & does not cause acne breakouts, I recommend that you try this!

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.

I have been using this sunscreen as part of my skincare routine for almost a year now. Down below are my pros and cons.Pros:* Lightweight sunscreen that does not have a gritty texture and gentle on the skin.* Zinc Oxide, no chemical sunscreen.* Absorbs into skin easily after waiting for moisturizer to dry up on my skin past a few minutes.Cons:* Difficult/cumbersome plastic pump- Can be tiresome to press the pump with your fingers, especially if you have difficulty making a claw motion with your fingers.- Pump does not output the same amount of force and volume of sunscreen when near empty. You sometimes have to make multiple pumps to get the same amount from when you first pump a full bottle.- To get your money's worth from this sunscreen, when your sunscreen is just about empty, you have to unscrew the plastic pump lefty-loosey like a bottle cap from a plastic bottle to open up the tube. Once opened, take a thin cylindrical object like a cotton swab or a toothpick stick it in the tube and make circular motions to get the remaining sunscreen inside the tube. Gently apply your cylindrical object to your face with slow sweeping motions.* Price- While this sunscreen may currently be one of the best sunscreens for skincare on the market, almost any spf 15+ sunscreen can protect your skin from UV damage. You can get sunscreens to apply for skincare/daily use for much cheaper/more value from Amazon or even your local pharmacy/brick-and-mortar store.

Had to switch to a mineral based sunscreen due to developing a rash from chemical sunscreens. I needed something extremely lightweight for my face and neck. After trying multiple brands, this one is the lightest one that goes on like lotion and doesn’t give a white cast or give me rash. It has a very light green tint (supposedly to blur redness) that disappears when applied. Once it’s on, I can’t feel any heaviness or stickiness and I absolutely love it.I’m now using this on my whole body because heavier mineral sunscreens end up everywhere if my hands touch my legs and then I touch an another object (glasses, furniture, car window etc).

Finally! a sunscreen that doesn’t feel like sunscreen! The Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen is exactly what I’ve been searching for. It glides on effortlessly, feels super light on the skin, and best of all,no greasy residue and absolutely no white cast. It layers perfectly under makeup or on bare skin, and I love that it’s fragrance-free and designed for sensitive or acne-prone skin. My skin actually feels calm and protected, not smothered.It’s become a daily essential in my routine, especially because it doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts like so many others I’ve tried. Hero Cosmetics really nailed it with this one.
