Pros
It's nice and gentle for daily use. It doesn't provide coverage, but it's moisturizing and applies lightly. Applying it in thin layers works well.
Cons
It has a slightly ashy tone. The coverage isn't great, so I'd recommend using a concealer if you have a lot of blemishes.
Tip
I mix it with the Estée Lauder foundation. Personally, I like that it's gentle and non-irritating.

Pros
I've been using a BB cream instead of foundation because I find it burdensome to apply foundation.
Cons
I bought a nude and medium-toned product based on recommendations from those around me and dermatologists. My skin tone is somewhere between 21 and 23. The medium-toned product feels grayish on me. When I apply it over sunscreen, the color becomes even more unnatural. The website (German) didn't list parabens or other chemical ingredients in the main ingredients, so I trusted it and made the purchase.

Pros
When my atopic dermatitis was really severe on my face, I came across a re-nourishing BB cream that can be used even while sleeping, so I bought it. I was relieved to find that there is a BB cream that can be used on skin like mine.
Cons
However... it's ashy and ineffective, and the price is outrageous. I was shocked when I looked at the ingredients. Furthermore, I will throw away the remaining product without regret.
Tip
The best tip is to not buy it.

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
I've been using it for 6 years, so I'm using it well. It's oily and sensitive, and pimples appear well, but rather than sinking in, the skin expression becomes natural. And the other thing now feels a bit artificial.
Cons
There are times when it has a slightly blackish gray tone. But that's only at first, and later it goes back to my skin.

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'm a woman in my mid-20s. My skin is very sensitive, my nose is oily, and the rest of my skin is unusually dry and dehydrated. If I use even one product incorrectly, I often get small pimples popping up. I can't expect much in terms of coverage or longevity from this BB cream. I used it because it's called a 'regenerative BB cream', but after checking the ingredients on Hwahae, it seems it's not entirely safe either. When I used it on areas with a lot of blemishes, it seemed to make them a bit worse. However, it did help create a thin, natural-looking skin finish. Still, my skin seemed less sensitive when I used this compared to when I used a cushion foundation. And after using this, I didn't experience any increased inflammation or redness. I've repurchased it once and am still using it.
Cons
I'm a bit hesitant to recommend this for dry skin. It has an oily feel, but it's not exactly hydrating either. I had to use a moisturizer or mist along with it. Otherwise, it would look powdery and white on me. The biggest disappointment was that despite being marketed as natural and regenerative, the Hwahae app revealed it contains some concerning ingredients. And my skin also looked a bit dull and darkened.
Tip
Before using, you'll need to have a solid skincare routine and good skin hydration. I applied a moisturizing cream and patted it in, then used a damp, disposable makeup sponge to lightly apply the BB cream. I finished with a spritz of an oil-based mist.

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
Although it was said to be moisturizing and contain many natural ingredients, after searching here, it seems that is not necessarily the case.
Cons
The color is a bit dull. The spreadability is good, but the darkening phenomenon comes quickly.
Tip
After applying it several times, the color becomes a bit more vibrant.

Pros
Moisturizing and smooth application
Cons
I bought it based on the claim that the ingredients are good, but it turned out to be this bad... I used it thinking it would be good for skin regeneration, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on skin regeneration. The Alex BB itself is grayish, so when applied, the skin tone becomes dull. And it's too expensive.
