On the tube and the box packaging it says "Whitening" and "Anti-wrinkle" with SPF 30 PA++ (big applause please!) and "Chemical Action Free".Product description: "This multifunctional product protexts skin from the sun, improves wrinkles and whitens skin. Not only it naturally tones skin but also conceals any imperfections. Natural ingredients like royal jelly and caviar help to protect and improve skin."
Additional features of this product:
- Broad spectrum UV filters protect against both UVA and UVB rays. W/S formula is water/perspiration-resistant and supplies essential moisture and nutriesnts to skin.
- Contains skin-soothing botanicals for sensitive skin.
I squeezed a drop on the back of my hand:
Blending a bit:
Fully blended:
I used this for 2-3 times, and here are my thoughts:
Sun Protection: HIGH
Scent: None/Minimal chemical smell
Consistency: not thick at all, very blendable
Shimmer: None
How it feels on the skin: Fairly light-weight!
Oiliness: None, it absorbed pretty fast!
Degree of naturalness: Quite natural. It tones down the redness and uneven-ness of my skin colors, which is GREAT.
Hydration: Fair.
Coverage: fair, I still needed concealer for my heavy eye circles and blemishes.
Oil-control ability: Fair
Shade match: could be better!
As you can see in the blending pic, the shade of this BB cream is a bit on the fair side compared to my NC25 skin (= Shu 764, NARS Santa Fe, Benefit Honey). Exactly because it says 'chemical reaction free', it doesn't tone automatically to my NC25 skin, leaving it a bit pale than usual.
Compared to the past BB creams I tried, this one feels the lightest on the skin, and it stays pretty long on the face during the day, which is always a plus! If the shade matches my coloring, I'd be a total happy bunny!!! :D
Oh... if this is too fair for you then it will probably be too fair for me too. But I'm glad its lightweight! Can't wait to use it in the summer =D
ReplyDeletewow. looks nice ,I will give it a try~~
