Are you trying to offload out of date sunscreen on unsuspecting customers? Because I when I reached out about mine I was told it was discontinuing and getting a 2 month use is reasonable. Why doesn't Hero stand by their products?

What a blessing!
I did a lot of research before buying this on sale. The last facial sunscreen I tried burned my face. I still don't know what did it, as the individual ingrediants were all in other products I use. Anyways, I tried this. I'm not outside much, but wanted to anticipate the summer heat/humidity. I need...

not the best
i'm someone with very dry skin due to tretinoin, and i have super duper acne prone skin. i also have hyperpigmentation and slight redness, as well as textured skin. while this sunscreen didn't break me out, the formula is definitely not breathable imo. it pills up very easily if you have hair on you...

bad pump
I think the formula feels good, but sometimes the pump just stops working. I don't have time in the morning to be finnicking so much with bad packaging. I also don't like the green tint and the sunscreen makes me look a bit pale.
Hero 2 Zero
Was using this for about 30 days and noticed it was out of date, went to store to exchange, but all product on shelf was out of date. Contacted hero cosmetics and they basically told me to kick rocks. They were discontinuing it and basically so what you are stuck with SPF that is good for two months. Horrible company. I will never buy anything from Hero Cosmetics ever again.
Top SPF for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and have repurchased this SPF time and again. I can use the full amount of SPF recommended by experts and it will still blend smoothly into my skin. (Caveat: This may not blend well for deeper skin tones.) The consistency is a smooth, light cream. The green tint fades into color correction as you blend it. My only quibble is that it is only SPF 30, though that is still fine for most days. My husband loves it as well.
Great mineral sunscreen
This is the highest zinc oxide percentage ive been able to find in a mineral face sunscreen that don't leave a whitecast for me! And given that I'm allergic to synthetic fragrances, I love that Hero never uses fragrance in their products. 5/5! Will keep purchasing for sure.
Smelled funny and washed me out
This one didn't work well for me. My face is generally red so I was looking for a green tinted product. It just washed me out, my cheeks were basically muted pink, and it smelled funny/metallic.
