Pros
Review [Alex] Herbal BB Cream The application felt a bit matte, but it has some oiliness. I bought it at the shop for 130,000 won in my 30s, and remembering that, I bought it again. The small volume makes it portable. Spreading it with my fingers is a bit of a hassle. One week review.. The scent is a bit irritating. It has a disgusting smell like an old tester at Olive Young...it's almost suspicious of being an old product. It's hard to say it's a herbal scent. Fortunately, there are no side effects. I have very sensitive skin. The color is a bit dark and dull, but since I work in a jewelry shop with strong lighting all day, my makeup doesn't get cakey in the afternoon. It's difficult to apply cream and BB cream together on the T-zone area, which is oily. It's good to apply cream only on the cheeks, then sunscreen, and then BB cream. I was looking for something that wouldn't get cakey, and I bought this, but I'm a bit disappointed. If I apply it carefully in the morning and touch it up in the afternoon, it lasts all day. I hate the scent, so I'd like a recommendation for something similar but better. If anyone knows, please comment.
Cons
The scent is irritating. It feels like applying an old foundation tester.
Tip
For combination skin, it's wise to apply only BB cream, not cream, on the T-zone area. The oiliness coming up in the afternoon is probably due to my skin type.

Pros
I've been using this product for almost a decade now. 1. It doesn't dry out - When I use foundation, it tends to crack and flake over time, but this actually brings a slight oil to the surface, making my skin look more hydrated and glowy. 2. It doesn't make me look muddy - Many people stop using certain products because they say it makes their skin look dull over time, but I haven't experienced that with this one. 3. Natural-looking coverage - I actually feel like this provides even better coverage than foundation. It applies smoothly and evenly, blurring pores and imperfections. Yet, it still looks like my natural, healthy skin.
Cons
1. Ingredients - Haha, I first encountered this when a skin clinic recommended it as a 'regenerating BB cream' that I could even sleep in. But after looking at the ingredients, I can't sleep anymore. Yet, I've been using it for over a decade and never had any breakouts, which is strange. 2. It's quite thick and difficult to spread 3. The scent is not great
Tip
Since it's quite thick, I always mix in a drop or two of face oil before applying. And I use a sponge - you know, the triangular one - to dab it on, which makes my skin look absolutely flawless.

Pros
Every time the season changes, my sensitive skin gets flipped over and becomes stressed. Food and even the water when I travel can cause breakouts. But this BB cream is the one that works for me. I'm not sure if it's a perfect match, but my skin stays calm and consistently healthy when I use it. I've been using this since I first started wearing makeup at 20, and any other BB creams I've tried on recommendations only lasted a couple days to a few months before I went back to this one. Especially if I take a short nap after applying it, I wake up with baby-soft skin.
Cons
It's expensive. Good or bad, it's expensive. The shipping also takes a long time, and I wish I could use a domestic Korean cosmetic. The coverage is also almost non-existent. Maybe it's because of my sensitive skin, or maybe it's just my personality, but I don't like wearing thick makeup, so I use this BB cream and then cover up with concealer, even if the coverage isn't great. I don't know how to or need to wear heavy makeup. Another downside is that it apparently has some bad ingredients, but they don't seem to be too harmful for me. The scent is not terrible, but it's an ambiguous smell - it smells like cosmetics but not quite. Some people might dislike it. When you first squeeze it out, it looks grayish, but don't be surprised, as it blends into your skin tone.
Tip
As I mentioned, if you take a quick nap or just bask in gentle warmth after applying it, you'll get that honey-like glow. This might just be specific to my skin type. Oh, and I think it's best to apply sunscreen after the BB cream. The one I used to use was the watery type from Missha.

Pros
When I went on a trip to Germany last summer, the tour guide highly recommended a certain BB cream, saying that despite trying many foreign products, this one was unparalleled. I ended up purchasing it, even though it was quite expensive, around 100,000 won per item. The color payoff and natural skin tone are just perfect. As someone who usually doesn't go out without a full face of makeup, this BB cream alone, paired with a vibrant lipstick, is all I need to be ready to go out. If it weren't for the concerning ingredients, this would have been the holy grail item that I could rely on forever. Seeing the ingredient analysis results made me tear up. Aside from that, it's practically perfect.
Cons
I don't have sensitive skin, and I didn't experience any breakouts. The only downside is that the scent is a bit unpleasant. It also lacks UV protection, so I had to apply sunscreen separately. I heard it was a product used for dermatological treatments, but after checking the ingredients, I'm unsure how to feel about using this product.
Tip
This BB cream is perfect for when you want to step out with a bare-faced, natural look.

Pros
I didn't buy the actual product, but I bought a sample of the Shu Uemura cream: - It's not a makeup BB cream, but surprisingly it has a decent toning effect, especially in reducing redness. - The creamy texture and pore coverage are okay. - Despite various drawbacks and undesirable ingredients, the positive is that it didn't cause any breakouts. - The finish is not too moist or dry, with a subtle glow, which isn't bad. - The claim that you can sleep in it is questionable. I wonder if that's really possible.
Cons
- The application is very thick and stiff, like applying a super high SPF body sunblock on the face. It's surprisingly difficult to spread. - The unforgivable smell, like old cosmetic oil? - The stuffy, heavy feeling may be due to the smell. I also bought the Alex Royal Vegan, which I initially thought had gone bad because of the smell, but tried this one and realized that's just how it is. - It evens out the tone to a uniform grayish color. - As you can see, it contains quite concerning ingredients. While it doesn't cause breakouts, there aren't any outstanding benefits either, so I don't want to use it.

Pros
I bought it while traveling in Europe because it was said to be very famous and have good ingredients. But when I opened it, I was shocked by the color.
Cons
The color is too dull and ashy. The coverage seems too high, so my skin might look cakey. The fragrance is unpleasant. I was shocked after checking the ingredients! This seems to be the worst product among the ones I've looked up. That's why I immediately threw it away. I wonder why this was considered a good product.
Tip
Please don't buy it. If you're looking for a skin-improving effect, either don't use BB cream or buy a good basic skincare product instead. Get a domestic BB cream or foundation that's much prettier in color and more affordable than this. I'm so upset that I wasted my money. I wasn't expecting much from cosmetics in the first place, but this is the first time I've felt so betrayed since buying this product.

Pros
It's perfect for a light application. I'm a total perfectionist, and the longevity is quite good. The coverage is also decent... I think it would be great for people who like a matte finish.
Cons
The smell is a bit... not great. On the first day of using it, I couldn't get used to this smell, and it felt like it was giving me a headache.
