It matched my skin tone well, looking natural. The adherence was also decent.
ConsIt's extremely matte, making it a bit difficult to apply as it feels quite dry. The coverage doesn't seem to be that great either.
TipThose with very oily skin will appreciate its matte finish.

Even when I try other products, I always end up coming back to this one. When I first bought it, I think there was only one shade available (pink beige, now shade #1), which fortunately matched my skin well. These days, it seems they've expanded their shade range, which is great. When applying, it has a slightly matte finish, but since my skin tends to get a bit oily over time, it works well for me. The coverage is pretty good for a BB cream. I usually don't wear heavy makeup, so this product is often all I need. Oh, and the staying power is really impressive. It doesn't transfer easily, and when I've tested it by pressing a tissue to my face, hardly any product comes off. For me, this is truly a holy grail item!
ConsThe price is definitely a drawback... If you can get it duty-free, that's absolutely the way to go. Also, it might feel a bit dry when applying, so you need to use a sponge and pat it in well. If you apply it with your fingers... you'll likely end up with streaks. If coverage is your top priority, this product might fall slightly short of your expectations.
TipDon't apply it with your fingers!

I've gone through three tubes, and it's gentle enough that even if I pull an all-nighter or forget to cleanse before bed, I don't break out. It used to come in just one shade, but after the renewal, they've expanded the color range. Still, it might not match up to other brands' color selections. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's concerned about blemishes or has a fair complexion!
ConsWhile it adheres well to the skin, the application could be smoother. The texture is really thick, so you need to mix it with a cream or highlighter from other brands (like B or E) for a smoother application. However, mixing might increase the chances of breakouts. It seems like a product that requires a solid skincare routine and a hydrating sunscreen to work well.
TipI've tried mixing it with both oil and moisturizer, and found that mixing with moisturizer results in less patchiness! But it's true that using the product as-is gives the best adherence to the skin.

It's really great! It's on the brighter side, so if you have a darker complexion, make sure to choose the right shade. I have combination dehydrated skin that's prone to blemishes rather than acne, and I haven't had any breakouts since using this BB cream. I'm now in my third year of using it. Although it's pricey, it lasts so long that I don't feel it's expensive for the amount you get.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, the absorption is much thicker compared to Bobbi Brown. (Their foundation isn't like that though! The moisturizing foundation is quite hydrating!)
TipFor my dry areas, I always mix the BB cream with emulsion at a 0.5:1 ratio. That's how thick it is. The rough skin texture some people experience might also be due to its absorption. It's a bit of a struggle.

I liked everything about it except for the application process. Once applied, the staying power was quite impressive.
ConsAbsolutely not recommended for dry skin. It's so stiff that it's nearly impossible to apply without mixing it with a moisturizer or oil.
TipMake sure to mix it with a hydrating cream or emulsion before applying.

As someone with dry skin, I experienced no tightness or dryness at all. I've heard this product is a BB cream specifically designed for Asian skin tones. While both shades 17 and 21 work for me, I prefer a more natural look. For a natural shade, it gives a bright complexion, and after application, my skin feels incredibly soft. However, it's not as radiant as shade 17!
ConsWell... Although it claims to provide coverage after BB cream application, the coverage isn't very high. So if you're looking for high coverage, I wouldn't recommend this BB cream. It's also quite thick compared to other BB creams. I use it with sunscreen or moisturizer, otherwise I'd need to use a lot of product, which can make it look a bit cakey. It can also make your skin look too pale... While I was mostly satisfied, I was a bit disappointed to find out it contains oxybenzone, which can cause allergic reactions. I have super sensitive skin that reacts easily to irritants, and I noticed some blemishes after using this BB cream! If you don't have sensitive skin, I'd recommend this product!
TipAs mentioned above, since it's quite thick when applying, using it with a moisturizer or sunscreen might be helpful!

Great coverage! Perfect for oily skin types!
ConsThe application feels a bit stiff and dry. Not recommended for dry skin! Even for oily skin, it can pill if you have a lot of dead skin cells.
TipOn dry days, you should mix it with a hydrating cream or essence before applying.
