What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this balm for accelerating healing of irritated and damaged skin, from post-breakout dryness to cuts and raw patches, with one reviewer noting it speeds recovery roughly twofold. The peptide-forward formula is credited with supporting barrier repair and promoting smooth healing. A recurring note: the tube is extremely concentrated, so a tiny amount goes a long way.

"I love the Rescue Balm. It's good for the dry flaky skin after a pimple goes away."
All 3 takes from Dr Dray

"Hero Cosmetics has the Rescue Balm that's good. It's a lot more lightweight if you have acne breakouts and they heal, they're dry, the skin's super irritated, maybe the acne treatments you were using dried out your skin too much. Try the Hero Cosmetics Rescue Balm, it's really good. It has like a peptide in it which may aid in barrier recovery."

"You absolutely could use this cream for cuts, maybe some accidents with the razor if you're shaving right on your face or anywhere really, bug bites. I think it can be particularly helpful for anywhere that you need skin healing. The peptides in this formula and the overall formulation really do support that. I particularly use this one whenever there's that area on my face where the skin is raw, it's open, it's vulnerable. I am putting this on the area and it really does work. It really speeds up the healing like two times faster. If I just did normal skincare, I think that it's a lot slower to mend up on its own. Using this cream, it closes it up so much faster. But it doesn't just promote the healing by closing the wound; it really does promote the healthy healing of that wound, that smooth skin. I think it helps to cut down on the hyperpigmentation if you suffer from that."

"This tube, which is teeny, lasts until you die. You put this on a red spot and just say goodbye. If you're feeling really hot and bothered, find yourself one of the pimple patches, put the tiniest dab on, less than you think you need, put the pimple patch over it and go get married. It's unbelievable."
