Various brands, a wide price segment, loud promises of manufacturers – how to choose the right product among this variety? Our experts have developed criteria for their evaluation and ranked the best BB creams.

How to choose a BB cream

The choice of BB cream for women is not easy – the advice of friends, advertising about miracle remedies do not allow you to objectively evaluate and choose the right remedy for yourself. The best solution is to trust professional advice and choose a cream according to the recommendations of experts.

The main criteria for choosing the “right” BB cream are:

Skin type

BB cream is selected according to the type of skin – for oily skin with a matting effect, for dry skin with moisturizing ingredients, for aging skin, you should opt for cosmetics marked “anti-age”.

Manufacturer (brand)

BB creams from Korean manufacturers are considered one of the best – their cost is quite high and it is problematic to find them in Russian stores. A feature of Korean and Japanese BB creams is that they are designed for use by girls with fair skin. Some products have a brightening effect.

BB creams from European manufacturers are quite widely represented in stores. Their products are distinguished by a variety of shades, which greatly facilitates the search for a suitable cream. Most European brands are time-tested and can be trusted, but when buying, you should carefully study the information on the composition of the cream to be sure of its quality.

Composition

Mandatory components for BB creams are: panthenol, shea butter, allantoin. Depending on the purpose, other ingredients may also be included in the cream. When studying the composition, attention is paid to the absence of mineral oils and silicones in it.

Which is better BB or CC creams?

Blemish Balm Cream or BB cream is designed to mask skin defects – scars, redness, peeling, as well as to moisturize, nourish and protect against UV rays.

  1. Benefits of BB Creams:

  2. multifunctionality of action – BB-cream is both a foundation, a base for makeup and a concealer;

  3. ease of use – thanks to its thick consistency, it is easy and quick to apply the cream on the skin:

  4. the best basis for creating a natural make-up – it is enough to apply only BB cream under makeup, which significantly saves time.

CC cream is an equally popular cosmetic product with a surprisingly light texture. Its name stands for Color Correction. Its main purpose is color correction.
