When blending, apply it like a spray-on toner. This BB cream is matte and needs a bit more hydration.

It's just right. I've used it well for a long time. Even with daily use, it lasts 1-2 years. It has a natural feel.

에이지 디펜스 BB 크림 [SPF30/PA+++]

The SPF protection could be a bit higher though...

I secretly used my sister's for two months and was really happy with it. It doesn't leave a noticeable BB cream tint and absorbs well into the skin.

To be honest, the staying power isn't great... The coverage is about medium, but it doesn't last very long.

It's so easy to use, making it perfect for daily wear. On mornings when I don't feel like putting on makeup, I can just slap this on carelessly and still look presentable. It has a texture that's great for applying with your fingers.

It's quite matte, so when it's not summer, you need to apply a sufficient base. You should apply more hydration than your usual at-home skincare routine to prevent the BB cream from drawing moisture from your skin.

It's not greasy and feels refreshing, making it great for summer. The color is slightly bright but gives a radiant look. It doesn't seem to darken over time.

The coverage isn't particularly strong. It provides a natural, light coverage.

I received this as a gift and loved how it's not greasy and has a matte finish. I think I've already gone through more than 10 of these!

Strangely, despite that, I ended up not using it till the end. The ingredient list is disappointing.

Absorbs well, comfortable to use, and has a clean, nice design.

It's thick and doesn't blend well, causing pilling. It also feels quite drying on the skin.

The coverage is pretty good. It doesn't cause significant darkening either.

I mix in a drop of serum when applying for added benefits.

Limited shade range? I can't think of any downsides. It's even better than Double Wear in my opinion.

Clinique - a brand I never expected to love. Received their BB cream as a gift and wow, it's amazing! I have combination dehydrated skin plus oily T-zone. This cream is perfectly moisturizing yet slightly matte - just right. Even with my yellowish tone 23 skin, the color is a great match. The grip is nice too, making it perfect for travel.

Using a small amount and having a solid skincare routine before applying this base is crucial. I found it worked best when I used a watery toner in my skincare routine - it really helped the base adhere to my skin! Also, mixing it with TONYMOLY's Goddess Aura BB cream seems to address some of the drawbacks. It helps prevent cakiness when you need more coverage, and it improves the staying power for oily skin types. I've tried mixing it with other products, but the TONYMOLY BB cream was the best match among those I've tried.

Since it's not a hydrating product, if you try to build coverage by applying multiple layers, it can look cracked and cakey. Even though I have oily skin, I noticed cracking when I tried to touch up areas that weren't fully covered during initial application. For oily skin types, it doesn't control sebum well, so you feel the oil coming through quickly. You'll definitely need tools like oil blotting papers with this product. While it seems to be great for dry skin based on my friend's experience, there are some noticeable drawbacks for those with oily skin.

A little goes a long way with this product! It gives amazing skin coverage. As someone who loves a matte finish, it covers pores smoothly, and I've received many compliments on my skin when using this base. For the best results, apply a small amount and blend it out rather than layering on too much. The key is finding the right amount - once you do, it's excellent for covering pores and uneven texture. Even my friend with dry skin loved it after getting the amount right. It didn't look cakey and had great staying power. If you have dry skin but prefer a matte look, I highly recommend this! I gave it 3 stars because, as I'll mention in the cons, it doesn't maintain well on my oily skin due to sebum production. It's a shame because the initial skin finish is fantastic, but for oily skin types like mine, that's why I've rated it average.

If you're into brightening moisturizers that give a radiant complexion, look elsewhere. This BB cream is for those who prefer a more natural finish to even out their skin tone.

Since it's a summer product, you might end up using it longer than intended. Don't even think about using it in winter. It sets on the skin too quickly, even before you can blend it properly.

It's great for summer as it's not thick and applies naturally. The coverage is good without being too greasy. But remember, it's strictly a summer product! Not recommended for other seasons. Even if you have oily skin, it's best for summer or spring at most.

The coverage is pretty weak... Above all, it pills badly and doesn't even out the complexion well. I gave it to my mom, but she didn't like it either and doesn't use it.

It has a nice hydrating feel. Might be okay for a light application!

It lacks hydration and doesn't absorb well. Causes significant darkening. Doesn't really even out the skin tone... Maybe it's a bit dark? I'm not sure if my skin is super sensitive or if this product just doesn't suit me, but every time I applied it and went outside, my face would turn red and I'd break out like I had a sun allergy. This happened about 3 times, each time suffering for 1-2 weeks. Once I realized the cause and switched to CC cream, my skin recovered.

A product I couldn't use because it didn't suit me... But it has good adherence and coverage.
