BB creams, in my opinion, are great if you have relatively normal skin type.
That being said.. my skin type is dry and acne prone. If I don't moisturise my skin properly my skin will suffer with slight flakiness (under makeup) and irritation.
I got a sample of the Biotherm White D-Tox Translu.Cell BB Cream SPF25.
Claims to give a 'natural skin effect' texture, making skin transparent under any light.
Most BB creams only come in 1 or 2 shades, I'm not aware if this comes in any other than this one shade which is very close to my skin. (Fair medium) (NC25)
This BB cream smells like sunscreen but applies like a sheer foundation. I like the consistency/texture, it is similar to standard foundation and much thinner than a lot of bb creams I've tried in the past like Missha, BRTC, Hanskin. Very blendable and natural.
This BB cream won't set because of its hydrating properties (not recommended to people with oily skin) so I set it with a translucent powder (TIP / try not to buff or sweep powder, instead, press and roll using a puff or standard face brush, results are much, much better) Finish is dewy.
