This is the 2nd generation for "Let Me Finish Multiple BB Cream." They've added a whitening function, concealer effect is high, a little pinkish, suitable for light tone skin~

This BB cream comes with SPF or no SPF. Oil control again disappointed me... gold packaging, very elegant... the price is also elegant!! kinda expensive... but it's small and easy to carry out~

50mL,

It feels like silk!! Contains lots of water, very easy to spread out, suitable for combination to oily skin. The color is beige, suitable for Asians with a bit darker skin, perfect for me! It gives me a medium coverage and sticks nicely to my face, but it doesn't make me look too bright and radiant.

Concealer effect is ok, oil control is.... normal, smells refreshing. I feel very hydrated after applying this onto my face and it also prevents you from breaking out.

Skinfood's Aloe BB Cream contains aloe vera extracts, smells so much like aloe! Aloe can moisturize, recover your skin~ It feels like being recovered after a day of sunshine... 4 in 1 BB cream acts as a sun block with SPF 20, concealer, helps to hydrate and calms down your skin.


There are 2 colors, #1 and #2. #1 is radiant, more suitable for whiter skin, #2 is natural, more suitable for darker skin. I use #2 and it fits pretty nicely, I have darker skin. The color overall is pinkish~

Of the 4 I am comparing now, I like this one the most!

Gingko BB cream contains Gingko leaves, green tea extracts, lecithin and Vitamin B. It helps to firm up and protects sensitive skin. It also contains Jojoba Oil which moisturizes your skin naturally -- Jojoba oil's structure is close to human face oil so it helps to balance out oil secretion, will not evaporate, feels moisturized throughout the day.

There are 2 colors, #1 and #2. #1 is radiant, more suitable for whiter skin, #2 is natural, more suitable for darker skin. 

Comparing this item with the Skinfood Aloe Sunscreen BB Cream, I feel the Gingko BB Cream is a bit dry for me... texture is quite creamy and thick...

BB Cream Introduction

BB cream became popular in Korea since 2006. Currently it became a "must-have" item for females in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and all of Asia!! It was a product made for post-cosmetic surgery, but it became a product that can protect your skin.

BB cream is short for "Blemish Balm," also gives your skin a transparent and healthy effect. It's meant for Korean ladies who had cosmetic surgeries, however, their skin turn more and more beautiful!! BB cream has many functions, including: whitening, hydration, UVA/UVB, foundation, make-up base, concealer (including dark eye circles, pimples/ blemishes, dark spots), wrinkles, pore minimizing, oil control, skin repair and etc... It can suppress the oil formation under your skin, not affected by sweat or tears and can protect your skin throughout the day. Each BB cream has different effects, usually it has a combination of ~3-5 of the above. It's suitable for any skin type, including sensitive skin.

The main ingredients of BB Cream include soy beans, Vitamin E and etc.. BB cream with certain functions however, may include other ingredients. eg. to strenghten the whitening effect, addition of Arbutin is necessary

Basically, BB cream is most suitable for ladies who DON'T like to wear make up. It can adjust your skin tone, cover your blemishes, pimple marks, and dark spots. Natural ingredients can supply your skin with all sorts of nutrients, making you look very very natural and healthy (as if you did not put any make up on at all)~~ Of course, applying too much on your face makes you look pale... just like a ghost =P

Some BB cream is hard to spread on your face, or it feels dry. In this case, you can mix BB cream with aqua gel, ratio (1 drop aqua gel + 2 drop BB cream), this method can also help with oil control.

Depending on your needs, where you are going, pick the right BB cream~~ If you are going out at night, you should pick one without SPF. If you often feel oily, pick an oil control BB cream.

Since BB cream is NOT a skincare, you MUST use a make-up remover!! Best to use a cleansing oil~ Don't just go to sleep without removing it!

Procedure:
