Everyone's perfect skincare routine is different. But the one product everyone needs is a good sunscreen. While we might think we only need SPF in the summer, your skin can still be exposed to harmful UV rays all year round. That said, finding an effective facial sunscreen that doesn't clog pores or dry the skin out is easier said than done. Luckily, one of our favorites, the Hero Cosmetics Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen, is just $11 right now on Amazon.

If you have acne-prone skin, you know that any product can cause a breakout. Our beauty experts on the Reviews Team know this too, and have reviewed countless skincare brands with this in mind. Hero Cosmetics' focus on creating products that heal existing acne and avoid clogging pores has made it one of our favorite affordable skincare brands.

Read our full Mighty Patch Review to learn more about one of our favorite products from Hero Cosmetics.

The brand's Force Shield Sunscreen is no different. Its non-comedogenic formula provides SPF 30 skin protection without clogging pores or causing breakouts. It's also formulated without harsh silicones or fragrances that could cause irritation, making it a good choice for people with sensitive skin. Unlike other mineral sunscreens, this one doesn't pill or leave an annoying white cast on your skin. In fact, its sheer green tint doubles as a color corrector to minimize redness, making it a great base for makeup or finishing touch on your skincare routine.

With nearly 2,000 five-star ratings, Amazon shoppers also love this sunscreen. "This sunscreen has been incredible! I get protection from the sun, and my oily skin is under control," said one reviewer. "I hadn't been able to find a sunscreen that doesn't make me look like a greaseball a few hours later. With this one, I look matte all day long with a healthy glow. I even get compliments from people thinking I'm wearing foundation!"

Shoppers with sensitive skin also appreciate the gentle formula. "This is easily one of my favorite mineral sunscreens! It applies smoothly without leaving any white cast, which is a huge plus," said another reviewer. "I have extremely sensitive skin, and even during eczema flare-ups, this product didn't irritate me at all. That level of gentleness makes it truly top-notch in my book."

With the current deal on Amazon, you can grab the Force Shield Sunscreen for just $11. Add it to your cart now while the deal lasts.
