"The Hero Cosmetics Force Shield is a mineral sunscreen, SPF 30, and I didn't quite finish this one. It's very hard for me to use mineral sunscreens after discovering how good the Korean chemical formulas are, I love those new filters dearly, so it's hard to go back to mineral sunscreens now."

"This is one of my favorite mineral sunscreens. I actually ranked it as the best sunscreen in my 2022 video because it has great ingredients, it's a mineral sunscreen you can easily find at Target, and if you experience a little redness in the sun it has a slightly green tint to offset that. I love it most because it's very lightweight on the skin, it doesn't feel super heavy, and it gets you the protection you need. I'd give it a white cast rating of one because it's a mineral sunscreen with a slightly opaque consistency, which if you have a darker skin tone might show up, but it's still a really good formula."

The BEST Sunscreens of 2022!
"This is the one I listed as my number one favorite in my last sunscreens video. You guys recommended it to me in the comments so many times that I finally tried it, and products like this make me remember why I love skincare so much, because it's so good. It just hits the mark for everything, price points, accessibility, good formula, no white cast. It has a green tint that helps offset any additional redness in the skin, it's so lightweight, doesn't feel greasy or heavy at all, and absorbs into the skin so lightly that I've never noticed any white cast whatsoever. I've always struggled with drugstore sunscreens because the majority of them are really bad, but this one blows all of them out of the park. I think it's good for any skin type, whether you're oily, combination, or dry, it's a stellar product."
