Perfect for my combination dehydrated skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks. It's a lifesaver when I'm dealing with folliculitis or my skin feels parched. I'm so glad my friend recommended it - been using it since last year! As someone with a 22 shade complexion, it matches well. I love how it gives me that Inner Glow when I use a bit of concealer with it. Amazingly, even when my skin's not at its best, this somehow manages to calm it down. No breakouts or anything!
ConsIt's great except for the scent - it has that typical makeup smell. Also, those with fair skin might not like it as it has a slightly ashy undertone. It works for me since I prefer a deeper shade.
TipIt pairs perfectly with the Espoir Be Glow puff, though applying with fingers works well too.

It perfectly neutralizes the redness The product looks dark and very grayish, but once applied, it covers the redness and gives a beautiful peach tone to the skin. 2. Moisturizing and comfortable on the skin It truly feels like I've only applied skincare - my skin feels comfortable for hours. 3. No darkening effect
Cons1. It doesn't provide sun protection, so you need to apply sunscreen during the day if you're using this. 2. For those who don't have severe redness or flushing, the grayish tint might be too strong and unappealing

I've been using this for 13 years now. Even when I try to switch, nothing else gives me that natural, bare-faced look quite like this. I can guarantee it. It's amazing how it provides such a luminous finish without causing any blemishes. I've fallen asleep with it on many times, and my skin is still perfectly fine. As for coverage, it even fills in pores.
ConsThere is some darkening as time passes. You'll need to touch up with a cushion compact. Also, you should apply sunscreen separately.

The ingredients definitely seem to be high-quality.
ConsThe darkening effect is too intense. Mixing it with a blemish balm light can create a brighter look, but it's just too expensive.

My skin feels comfortable. It's amazing how the color, which initially looked too dark, naturally adjusts to my complexion after application.
ConsThe darkening effect is unavoidable, being a characteristic of BB creams. However, it's quite rich, so without blotting with oil-absorbing sheets after application, it can look too oily. Also, it's rather expensive.
TipFor those with oily skin, lightly blotting with oil-absorbing sheets after application can create a more natural look.

I specifically searched for it to write a review, and wow, there are quite a few potentially harmful ingredients. However, it seems to vary from person to person. For me, I don't get any blemishes even when I sleep with this on. With the abundance of cosmetics these days, I felt like a hunter on the prowl for a while, but I don't think there's a product quite like this one. Maybe my skin has evolved to match this product? I've received so many compliments on my skin while using this, and I think I've been using it for over 10 years now. The only thing is that when I wake up, my skin does feel a bit dehydrated. Looking at the ingredients list, I can understand why. But it's definitely my holy grail for expressing my best skin. Although I was surprised by the ingredients list, I don't think everything applies to everyone. Since coming back to this product, I feel my skin improving again. It feels like coming home!
ConsIt doesn't provide perfect coverage for hiding skin imperfections. And being a BB cream, it definitely has a grayish tone. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. It's great for those with redness - I have redness myself. Apparently, BB creams naturally have a grayish tint. I learned this recently while hunting for new products and watching various blogs and YouTube videos. And I'm in my mid-30s, haha!
TipNo matter what skincare products I apply underneath, or how messily I apply them, this barely pills. I tend to slather on my skincare products quite generously. Just keep in mind that the more base products you apply, the sheerer the coverage becomes, so don't expect high coverage. The fact that it hardly pills is really great. Oh, and I haven't tried it with sunscreen yet, so I'm not sure about that. I'll try it with my Hera sunscreen and hope it doesn't pill!

Perfect for days when you want to avoid going bare-faced but worry about foundation not sitting well on rough skin texture. It adheres excellently, effectively covering pores and uneven texture. No irritation felt on the skin. For oily skin types, I'd rate it four stars for winter use.
ConsAverage coverage for blemishes and redness. The ashy undertone is a bit disappointing. Lacks longevity and transfers onto clothes even hours after application. For oily skin in summer, all the aforementioned benefits become irrelevant to the point where it's better not to apply it at all.
TipFour stars for winter, zero stars for summer. It's great to keep as an emergency option for those winter mornings when your skin texture might cause foundation to look patchy.

It wasn't just oily skin with blemishes, but my skin was also super sensitive. When I first started using this, I thought I'd give it a month's try. Surprisingly, it had a soothing effect when my skin was irritated and even calmed inflammatory acne. The color is a bit grayish, but I've been using it for over two years now because I haven't found anything that works as well. I highly recommend this to those with sensitive, acne-prone skin.
ConsThe characteristic grayish tint of the BB cream is a bit disappointing. Also, nowadays many BB compacts make touch-ups easy, but with this one, it's not so simple to reapply.
TipIt feels a bit pricey to buy at regular price, so I always purchase it at duty-free shops when traveling abroad. It's not available in offline duty-free stores, only online. And I believe one airline - either Korean Air or Asiana - sells Allex in their in-flight duty-free, while the other sells Schrammek. For those with blemishes, using this BB cream along with Ducray's acne-specific concealer works perfectly. That's my personal beauty tip!

It's particularly great for those with large pores and redness-prone skin.
ConsIt's all about the ingredients. I always buy from duty-free shops because I have super sensitive skin. Once I bought online and my skin completely flared up... They say there are lots of counterfeits and expired products out there, so I'll stick to duty-free purchases. Expect darkening and oiliness as standard.
TipWhatever you do, don't sleep with this on. No matter how gentle it claims to be, trusting Korean promotions and sleeping with a tinted product is a no-go. This isn't designed for that. They might say it's fine to sleep in, but it's basically like sleeping with makeup on. The ingredients may be good for a makeup line, but it's not skincare. They talk about regeneration because of bisabolol (around the eye area?), but in Germany, it's actually promoted to cover redness after regenerative treatments. The 'sleep-in' claim only started after coming to Korea. For oily or acne-prone skin... well, there's not much to say. As the original BB cream, it just offers classic, basic functions.

I have dry skin and usually feel a sticky sensation, but this feels less so when applied. It's gentle enough that it doesn't irritate my eyes.
ConsFirst off, it's expensive and not easy to find. Unless you get the large size, the amount is quite small. The color is a bit on the darker side, and it can darken further over time, requiring touch-ups. There's also a slight scent.
TipIf you really want to buy it, the cheapest way is to ask someone traveling to Germany to purchase it directly from there.
