BB creams reviews

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

The brand is still little known to the consumer, but it is worthy of attention. The tool ended up in a very small tube, which I initially attributed to the minuses. But when I first used it, I was surprised to realize that it takes no more than five drops to apply to the entire face!

The product is quite dense, but I did not experience any difficulties during application. As it turned out later, this cream with ginseng was awarded the “Best BB Cream” in France.

Excellent texture, mattes well and hides imperfections, but does not create a mask effect. Korean developers did a great job creating this tool.

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

It is no coincidence that CC-cream was included in our selection. The difference from BB is that the CC cream is white and fully adjusts to the skin tone. Jean D’Estrees has released a product that provides moisturizing care and long-lasting makeup. It can be used both on its own and as a foundation for powder.

The encapsulated pigments create the perfect shade without clogging the skin. Even with my dry skin, if you overdo it when applying, you can get an oily sheen, which in my case is almost unrealistic. Despite its transparent texture, the cream corrects imperfections and hides dark circles. This is one of the first CC creams on my shelf that I was completely satisfied with.

Denlom first, I noticed the airy texture. The manufacturer guarantees a triple action: even tone, protection and comprehensive care.

Immediately after application, my skin looked fresh and rested. The composition was inspired by royal grape extract, grape seed oil and vitamin E – what I paid attention to. Indeed, before using the product, you should not apply a day cream, the skin will already be moisturized thanks to the beauty balm.

Nastya Obukhova, fashion editor:

The composition of the Tea Tree BB Cream speaks for itself: glycerin, shea butter, soybean oil, tea tree oil, tamanu oil. All these ingredients perfectly moisturize the skin and prevent the formation of oily sheen. The smell of the product is specific: it smells very actively of tea tree oil. To some, the fragrance may seem very harsh, but I like such natural aromas – they increase the credibility of the brand.

The cream is very sparingly consumed: just a couple of drops are needed for the whole face. The texture is very delicate, creamy and perfectly spreads over the skin. I really liked that the product does not create the effect of a mask on the face, like many foundations, and does not emphasize dry skin areas. At the same time, the cream mattifies well, which is also important for my oily skin. I give this tool a “4”, as it still clogged my pores a little.

Nastya Obukhova, fashion editor:

To be honest, I have never used a BB cream, and Erborian eye cream was a pleasant discovery for me. It looks like a very thick foundation, but is applied like a regular eye treatment. There is no concealer effect from it that I do not like, when you can see that there is a tonal agent under the eyes.

Erborian BB cream perfectly moisturizes and at the same time does not create an oily effect. The blue under the eyes disappears instantly from it, and the skin looks very natural. In the tube, the cream appears dark, but upon contact with the skin, after a few patting movements, it completely merges with the surface.

According to the description, the product eliminates bruises and swelling, as well as smoothes wrinkles and smoothes the surface. I can’t say anything about the disappearance of wrinkles – I don’t have them. But the cream does not fight swellings in any way. A couple of hours after application, the eyes seem a little sleepy, but I blame the tonal effect for this, which hides my usual shadow under the eyes.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

I have been using BB creams for a long time. I love that moisturizer and foundation are so conveniently combined in one bottle. It is very convenient and saves time.

The manufacturer himself presents SkinTherapyBB Cream SPF 30 PA +++ as a matting agent, so I started using it with caution – I have combination skin and many creams gave an oily sheen.

BB-cream has a fairly dense texture, lays down evenly, but the face is much lighter than the neck, there is no smooth transition. For those with enlarged pores, it is probably best not to use this cream or to smooth them out before using.

From a pleasant one – the cream has a rather subtle unobtrusive smell, a good matting effect and a good degree of protection from the sun.

Unfortunately, this cream did not suit me, it is too “heavy” for me, but those who like a persistent tone can safely use this product.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

For the last couple of years, I have been using exclusively mineral powder as a base and I am critical of any liquid texture – it seems to me that most of them are very noticeable on the face and, moreover, provoke inflammation. BB Cream from L’Occitane managed to pleasantly surprise me.

It creates an even, slightly radiant finish on the skin, yet light enough to look natural. The shade 01 clair turned out to be a little darker than I expected – I think after the holidays it will suit me perfectly. I liked that Creme De Beaute Sublime contains caring ingredients – iris extract, flower water, angelica essential oil and glycerin, which should provide hydration, but I’m more used to using it over my day cream.

The only drawback I found is that the BB cream needs to be applied quickly, otherwise it dries out and spreads unevenly.

Raisa Murashkina, managing editor:

I must say right away that I learned about the existence of BB creams in nature only during this test drive. For the last year and a half, I have been smoothing the tone of my face with exclusively well-chosen powder. The powder is light, the facial sensation is always fresh. She refused the foundation and forgot it like a bad dream: no matter how light the foundation is, it still clogs the pores, doesn’t it? Whether it is powder! I must admit that at the start I was sure that the BB cream would have the same story.

But no! Light, soft like a day cream, while smoothing the skin. No, of course, it will not replace your powder, concealer, or foundation. He will cover the face with a thin layer of protection, on which the powder will perfectly fit. Of the minuses: by itself, as a skin disguise, the BB cream does not work, it is rather weak. For example, this cream cannot hide age spots on the face, alas. And one more thing: the cream mattifies the face for a couple of hours, and then the skin sharply needs a corrective layer of BB-cream.

From the pros: the tone of the face is evened out and approaches the ideal, while the presence of the BB cream is not felt. I decided for myself: I will find a place for this cream in my cosmetic bag, let it be.

Raisa Murashkina, managing editor:

Unfortunately, this particular BB cream did not suit me. It spreads over the face, is too greasy, you need to make too much effort for this cream to “take root” harmoniously. The matting effect is below average. But the skin color becomes noticeably darker. Everything would be fine, but only the neck and the rest of the body seem to live separately from the face. No, perhaps I will not rush to buy this particular cream for now, although in general I use Vichy cosmetics with pleasure.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

Manufacturers write that this multifunctional cream is both skin care and makeup, instantly moisturizing the skin and giving it a natural glow. Thanks to mineral pigments, age spots, imperfections and redness are corrected, pores become less visible, and special ingredients mattify the skin.

All promises were undoubtedly justified and I was satisfied. From the first application, the BB Cream evens and smoothes the skin texture for a bright and radiant appearance.

I apply it on my face with my hands, and in a very thin layer. The cream lays down evenly, after 5-10 minutes it becomes noticeable that it has adjusted to the color of the skin and has become more invisible, the face is fresher, more even. The cream lasts all day, I paint at 9 am and in the late afternoon I tweak it a little, but solely because I have a bad habit of touching my face. In general, the cream is a solid top five.

Alexandra Rudnykh, deputy editor-in-chief:

The first thing that captivates in this tool is the compact size of the tube: 30 ml of the cream could fit into a miniature tube, which is not only almost invisible on the shelf, but also fits perfectly into a small purse.

I also liked the texture of the cream: it is liquid, it spreads easily over the skin and quickly “fixes” on the face. The cream perfectly masks pigmentation and hides pores. The best part is that it does not slip off your face in “difficult” situations (when it is raining or sweating). By the way, do not forget about its sun protection properties – SPF50 PA will make it irreplaceable in summer.

Among the shortcomings, which were not found so many, include a somewhat peculiar aroma (nutty flavor) and a dirty nose, which must be constantly wiped off after using the cream.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

I bought the cream recently. First of all, I would like to note that in liquid form on the hand the cream looks very dark (I took for myself a shade of natural beige). But on the face it does not look like that, as it absorbs and dissolves. He is completely invisible. It really gives a light glow to the face. This property, as they say, is not for everybody.

The fact is that such a glow on oily skin does not look very good. So the “shine” I personally defined for myself as a disadvantage. The cream does not mask, I say right away, you should not flatter yourself, but slightly evens out the skin tone. The tone of the face becomes more pleasant and the tone is uniform. As for the consistency itself, the cream is quite pleasant, it fits perfectly, it is also absorbed with a bang. The skin underneath is really smooth and well hydrated.
