Rescue Balm +Dark Spot Retouch Post-Blemish Recovery Cream from Hero Cosmetics - Nourishing and Calming After a Blemish - Corrects Discoloration - Dermatologist Tested (0.507 fl. oz)

I was a bit skeptical to try it as I was having an active acne breakout when I intended to use it and I didn’t want to irritate my skin further. However, it worked beautifully to cover the dark spots on my face. It blended so naturally with skin tone as well. I ended up using it under fenty’s blurring skin tint and I never saw my face look so flawless. Most importantly I didn’t breakout or have any worsening breakouts after using it. Worth it in my opinion. For reference my skin tone is medium tan/brown and I live in the Caribbean.

This balm really helps fade post-blemish marks and dark spots. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy. I’ve noticed my skin looks clearer after consistent use.

Not entirely sure what this stuff is supposed to do. As a person with dark skin, when I get dark spots (usually from acne picking) there are MUCH darker than the rest of my face. This balm doesn't do much for color correction, except making me look kinda ashen? On the plus side, it doesn't irritate my skin!

I’ve used their green color correcting version so I know what the consistency is supposed to feel like. Mine immediately started releasing some sort of oil and all the pigment was separated. I shook it up and tried blending it together. But once I put it on my face, you could see the pigment separating and just sitting all over my face separated from the oil.

I use this product when I don’t want to wear makeup but want a more “together” look than no makeup. It works well for that and has decent coverage. I have noticed, when I use it more often I tend to get little breakouts. If I use in moderation, not back to back, it doesn’t do this.

I’m always wary of products like this because they usually don’t work, but this one is the exception. I don’t know how, but it’s managed to get rid of most of the discoloration/scar tissue from where I donated plasma in my arm. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now, and the improvement is quite noticeable (some days I forget to apply it so maybe it works faster than this).

Unfortunately, this just didn’t work very well for me. I bought it specifically hoping it would help with the dark marks and discoloration left behind after breakouts, but I never noticed enough of a difference to justify continuing to use it. It does feel nice going on and didn’t cause any additional irritation or breakouts for me, so I’ll give it credit for that. But when a product is specifically marketed toward post-blemish recovery and dark spots, I expect to eventually see something happening. 😂 Maybe it works better for other skin types or with much longer-term use, but for me the results just weren’t there.

Covers healed dark spots well and looks better than other products I’ve tried. Can’t speak for long term use, as I have just begun to use this. So far I am very happy with this purchase.
