This is just an excellent brand overall. I’ve tried a few of their products and have yet to be disappointed. The first product I tried was the microdart patches, as an alternative to the (IMO) overpriced Zitsticka patches. The Hero version works just as well for cystic acne at about 60% of the cost (and significantly less packaging!). I then tried the post-blemish rescue balm – incredible if you have dry but acne-prone skin. To be able to use such a thick, nourishing cream without concerns of breaking out is an incredible thing! Finally, the rescue balm with redness correction is probably my favorite product from Hero so far. It starts out green and then slowly blends into the natural tone of my skin. It does a great job cancelling out redness without being detectable as makeup on the skin. I’m not sure how it would work for deeper skin tones, but I know they have another color-correcting cream specifically designed for deeper skin tones.
The only thing I’ve tried and didn’t love was the Brave Body shower wash. It was perfectly effective, but the scent kind of reminded me of Axe Body Spray.
Overall, I think this brand puts out effective products at reasonable prices, and I love how accessible it is to purchase at stores like Ulta or Target.

I would love to be able to buy a large box of the microdart patches. I know I could just buy multiple boxes, but a box of 24 or so would be amazing in terms of less packaging. It could also be offered at a slight discount compared to 4 boxes of 6 :-)
