I never use BB creams but one of my friends has been using BB cream for a year now. Her face is now more smooth and wrinkle free. But please consult your dermatologist before applying this cream on your face.
I have tried one of these creams for the last month or so. I don't want any spamming but if you have tried one of these creams for 30 days or more I am sure the members of this board would like to know your thoughts. I know I would.

BB creams are like a miracle invention. I wouldn't survive without them! They are an all in one product to be used as a primer, moisturizer, and even foundation (if you get one with medium to full coverage). Most contain SPF and other properties such as skin whitening (reduce marks), anti-aging, or acne prevention. Make sure you look for one with all natural ingredients!
Yes I would like people to let us know what brands they have liked or disliked and why. It appears that just about every major line has a BB cream.
I refer to BB creams as combination products on steroids. By having a product that has a moisturizer and all the other actives mixed with your sunscreen, you don't have to worry about which order you put them on.
- Produces a very natural, "no makeup look"
- Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it's not as thick, it doesn't clog the pores
- Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer
- Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes
- Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin
- Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin
- Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)
- Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits (available for some variants)
BB creams (short for "beauty balm" or "blemish balm") have been popular among Korean and Japanese women since the '80s for their multi-purpose benefits. And with so many people's interest in Asian skincare, it's no surprise that brands like Garnier , Smashbox and Maybelline debuted their own BB creams to correct uneven skin tone , minimize oiliness, reduce wrinkles and offer extra sun protection.
