Rescue Balm Post-Blemish Recovery Cream from Hero Cosmetics - Intensive Nourishing and Calming for Dry, Red-Looking Skin - Dermatologist Tested and Vegan-Friendly (15 ml, 0.5 fl. oz)

As an adult that still struggles with acne and sensitive skin that easily reacts to skincare products, I’m in love with this recovery cream. It’s soothing, never stings or irritates my skin and helps with redness and swelling. I always keep this on hand for myself and my teenage daughters because they love it too.

i have hormonal acne. it’s such a pain. im 21 and it hasn’t stopped one bit since it toned down when i was maybe 16! im on prescriptions now and i can feel them starting to work but my newest priority is getting my zits down as soon as possible. patches are great—i put one on a whitehead (hard or soft), take it off and the cap with it, then put on one more patch to shield the open zit from the air for a few hours. any more and my stupid sensitive skin will break out from being covered for so long. which means if the zit isn’t done, it’ll just whitehead all over again!i used this stuff last night on a particularly nasty one on my chin. it’s been a week and it hasn’t stopped whiteheading. after taking off my patch i put this stuff on and left it overnight… NO LEAKING! if anything, it SHRANK! after one use! this stuff is awesome and absolutely worth the price. feels a little greasy after putting it on but it dries up in a few minutes or so.

The first time I bought this product was in 2022, so this is after 2 years of use!If you are someone like me who tends to pick and scratch at their blemishes a lot, then this product is a great step to add to your skincare routine post-pimple pop. It definitely sped up my healing time to 3-4 days as opposed to my normal 5-7.Other things to note:- It DOES NOT target hyperpigmentation and dark marks (it doesn't promote that it does, but some previous reviews have noted they used it for that).- It DOES target inflammation and redness that comes with irritation after a pimple pops.- You do not need a lot of product. A thin, pea-sized amount over the blemish works.- CONSISTENT USE, like with most skincare products, will yield you the best results.- I found to help prevent hyperpigmentation, using this product under sunscreen is best.All in all, I love this product and will continue to use it! I just wish they had a bigger size!

My teen loved this. Made her more confident to go out without full makeup to cover acne troubles.

I have a pretty involved skincare routine that includes double cleansing, toning, exfoliator, serums, retinol, moisturizer, mask/SPF. I hoped this would work as a spot treatment to prevent my retinol-purge-zits from staying red and becoming scars.The instructions say to rub in a rice grain sized amount over the spot after cleansing/toning/exfoliating and before serums/etc.However, it is so thick and pasty that even the tiny amount suggested smears around leaving a white cast and doesn’t seem to absorb at all.I was hesitant to leave a review for this before actually seeing whether it would prevent a spot from becoming a scar. Thing is, I don’t know if I’ll actually get the chance to see that happen if it’s just going to sit on top of my skin and get rubbed away by the products that come afterward.All that said, I do like their other products, and this contains great ingredients that theoretically *should* do what the company claims.Unless they come out with a more efficiently textured version of this, I just have to figure out how to use it in my routine in a way that won’t waste product or inhibit potential benefits.The only way I can think of doing this is to wipe all other products from my PM routine off each spot I want to treat using a toner-covered Q-tip, tapping a little white blob of this on each, and leaving it as-is overnight. That’s a huge departure from the instructions and seems like a pretty tedious measure to take to use this, but it’s worth a shot.For now, it really just feels like rubbing a pasty sunscreen around on my face right before using serums & moisturizer. Clearly that is not ideal for those with a multi-step skincare routine, but hopefully I can get it to work a different way. I will update this review if so.

THIS CREAM IS PROBABLY THE BEST CREAM IVE USED IN YEARS!!!!!It heals my skin very fast and within a week I don’t have that bruise anymore I totally recommend it!

I bought this before my wedding as an emergency because I started to break out. This sped up the recovery immensely! I recommended it to all my girls. This is now part of my daily skin care routine, if needed. Will definitely be buying again!!!!

I’m not sure why this doesn’t have higher ratings. I don’t get many pimples, but when I do, they tend to linger. I use pimple patches for the blemish itself, then apply this cream afterward, and I saw results in just a week. Highly recommend!
