Pros

As a guy, I was thrilled to find darker shades available! The product absorbs beautifully and looks so natural. I'm extremely satisfied!

Cons

It transfers easily... which means it seems to come off just as easily. When wearing a mask, it all rubs off.

Tip

Apply it when your face has sufficient hydration

Pros

I absolutely love using this product daily! Despite having sensitive skin prone to contact dermatitis, fortunately this BB cream in shade 21 worked well for me without causing any blemishes. While there was some pore-clogging in the afternoon when my makeup started to break down, I remember that was more due to weather, temperature, and skin condition. It blended naturally with my skin tone without darkening, giving a seamless finish. I've already bought another one!

Cons

Brightening...? I don't see it at all. If anything, it feels a bit dark. It's a very natural color, which makes it great for daily use. The product itself is fine, but the brand... I have this uneasy feeling it might not last long in the market. (It ships via postal service.) I really hope they keep selling it for a long time!

Tip

For those with fair skin or who prefer a brighter makeup look than their natural complexion, try mixing a bit of brightening moisturizer with shade 21 for best results.

Pros

This product has received triple-functional certification, combining whitening and anti-wrinkle effects. What's more, it's an all-in-one cosmetic that cleverly combines the benefits of essence, sunscreen, primer, foundation, and concealer into a single product! Esmia BB cream comes in a wide range of shades. I tried #29 (which is noticeably darker compared to the 21 shades I have at home). It's much darker, so I found it a bit challenging to apply all over my face. Instead, I dabbed and blended it in areas where I'd normally contour. It absorbs well and feels quite hydrating. The warm, deep tone matches my skin nicely, and I found that mixing it with my 21 shade BB cream works well too. This BB cream definitely makes my skin look better, provides good coverage, and adheres well to the skin. However, I was a bit disappointed that it transfers onto my mask.

Cons

It transfers onto masks quite a bit. Can't be helped, I suppose.

Tip

Using a finishing powder helps reduce transfer, but I think this product really shines in situations where you don't need to wear a mask.

Pros

It provides a natural brightening effect and feels hydrating, probably due to its aqua formula. I also appreciated the variety of shades available.

Cons

Those with blemish-prone skin might need to use a concealer with this. As it's a BB cream, it has a slight grayish tint, which is a bit disappointing.

Pros

Easy to apply. Maintains hydration. Natural brightening effect without being excessive. Wipes off easily. Low oil content.

Cons

Transfers - seems unavoidable due to the nature of the product. No other drawbacks to mention.

Tip

Recommend applying multiple thin layers.

Pros

As someone with dry and sensitive skin, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this worked for me. It's hydrating and doesn't cake up! With mask-wearing these days, I've been keeping my base makeup light, and I'm quite satisfied using this product.

Cons

The coverage isn't as good as I expected, so you might need to use concealer separately for any red blemishes or dark spots. Also, if you apply too much skincare underneath, it can pill a little. And as time passes, it tends to get a bit oily. Other than these points, I don't really see any major drawbacks.

Pros

It glides on incredibly smoothly, leaving your skin deeply hydrated with a slightly semi-matte finish and a beautiful glow. No wonder it has great staying power and is popular even among those with oily skin! Wow, a little goes a long way - you can cover your entire face with just a small amount, so this will last quite a while! It applies so smoothly and moisturizes so well that there's absolutely no pore-clogging. It adheres thinly to the skin, creating a luminous glow. Your complexion looks so naturally enhanced, as if it's just your skin but better!

Cons

As it's a product that provides a natural brightening effect, it might appear slightly darker than regular foundations.

Pros

I thought I would use it up quickly, but I've been using it for a really long time!! I have dry skin, so when I retouch or add more layers, it tends to flake, but I've never had it cake or crack while using this product! It's moisturizing, so it actually gives a nice glow, and the coverage is excellent.

Cons

There are many reviews saying the coverage is weak, but I found the coverage to be really good - no disappointments!!

Pros

Lightweight and spreadable texture. Can be applied seamlessly. Moisturizing BB cream that provides a natural light beige finish without harsh demarcation lines at the neck.

Cons

The coverage is slightly lacking. Not just a little on the cap, but a dripping amount. Can't be carried around in a pouch, only for use at home before going out.

Tip

If not finished with powder, it will transfer onto the phone. With powder finishing, there is no transfer and the longevity is improved!
