Hey guys-The BB B.B (now there’s a mouthful) is more like a traditional Asian BB cream in terms of texture and coverage.I picked mine up last year in Hong Kong when it was launched there and topped up in BT the other week and its exactly the same product. Garnier, L’Oreal etc. have launched tinted moisturizers (sheer coverage, low SPF) This one is medium coverage and oil free with SPF 35 (like a proper BB lol)Oil free products aren’t emollient based so not good for skin with visible patch dryness so steer clear of BB creams in general if you’re flaky!

I always treat a BB as foundation!If you don’t set your base its gonna come off no matter what it is!A bit of pressed/mineral powder over the t zone works a treat!!:-D

I have a dry skin and I tried many creams without great success, but the BB cream really works !

Freckles, a good bit of why I love them is because they sit nicely on my skin when foundation won’t these days – it clings to the flakiness caused by the retin-a. A BB cream might just be a glorified tinted moisturiser but they work well for those of us who are looking for skincare with a bit of coverage and if we’re lucky a nice SPF as well.

I seriously do not get the hype about these, it’s a tinted moisturiser with some added benefits, not one of my friends or colleagues thinks they’re any good, and trust me ive tried some good ones.
I’m happy you love them Emma, but the hype is starting to get old for me.

I was dying for this to be released. BB cream & Bobbi addict and I have verrrry dry skin. It gives a really lovely finish and the colour is spot on for my pale skin but at the end of the day my skin starts feeling tight and looking a bit flaky. I think if I’m going to continue using this I’ll have to lash on the roche-posay cicaplast underneath it.

I bought this a few weeks ago on a whim and I’m heartbroken that it doesn’t suit me! Bought it in extra light, colour was great for an hour or so but went very patchy and a bit oráiste.

I have oily/combination skin so I guess it just doesn’t suit. Serves me right for being impulsive! Must find someone to give it to.
