The new L'oreal Skin Perfection BB Cream 5 in 1 Instant Blemish Balm claims to hydrate for 24 hours, even and brighten skin tone, refine skin texture, reduce the appearance of pores and target the appearance of dark spots. It has SPF 25 and is "enriched with Glycerin, Allantoin and Vitamin Cg, helps correct and improve the appearance of skin quality, as if perfected."
Other ingredients include talc, which mattifies skin and is used on lots of powder foundations; parabens as preservatives; and capryloyl salicylic acid which gently exfoliates the skin and can also be moisturising.
The BB Cream is a bit thick and has a slightly oily sensation, no particular scent and has a pink/peachy undertone to it. I use only a small amount and blend with my fingers, and noticed that if you rub too much it starts to separate or rub off. It does seem to smooth the texture and tone of my skin and is also moisturising, with a semi-matte finish. It doesn't really control shine so I like to set it with a powder after application.
I would recommend this product if you are looking for a light coverage product and have normal skin. If your skin is too dry it might not be moisturising enough, or you could use a separate product for moisture - which is what I do, as it can cling a bit to dry patches. I don't think I would repurchase though, as I would like to try different products until I find "the one" haha.
Have you tried this BB Cream?
