PhilosophyAmerican SPF-first skincare brand — invisible filters, daily-wear textures, sunscreen as skincare essential.AmorePacific's luxury skincare-meets-color-cosmetics house — Black Cushion icon, Sensual Powder Matte Lipstick, and serious skincare.
Supergoop!
Supergoop is why American sunscreen finally caught up to Asian tech. Unseen Sunscreen is a genuinely great daily wear — invisible, primer-like texture. The Glowscreen variant is cult.
Pros
- ✓ Best American SPF formulations
- ✓ Cosmetically elegant textures
- ✓ Unseen Sunscreen primer-like
Cons
- ✗ Premium pricing for SPF
- ✗ Still uses older US-approved filters
Hera
Hera is the AmorePacific-owned Korean luxury house that has produced one of the most photographed cushion compacts in beauty history (the Black Cushion) and a quietly excellent skincare lineup that doesn't get the same Sephora-front-row coverage as Sulwhasoo or Whoo. Premium pricing, Korean luxury heritage, formulations that earn their place at the top of any K-prestige routine.
Pros
- ✓ AmorePacific-backed luxury
- ✓ Black Cushion is iconic
- ✓ Strong skincare lineup beyond cushions
- ✓ Premium texture quality
Cons
- ✗ Luxury pricing across the board
- ✗ Less Western distribution
- ✗ Branding can feel formal
