Pros: Moisturizing, coverage, gentle Cons: Transfers, easily comes off, poor longevity I applied for this as I was curious about BB creams, since I had never used one before. Compared to cushions, it was definitely more moisturizing, which was great for my dry skin and allowed me to use it instead of a cushion. -Moisturizing I don't have experience using other BB creams, so I'm not sure if this is one of the more moisturizing ones, but it was more moisturizing than cushions, which allowed me to use it comfortably on days when I wanted a lighter makeup look. If you're like me and have only used cushions so far, or if you have dry skin, I'd recommend trying this out. -Coverage While I wasn't expecting much coverage, it did a decent job. It helped even out redness, but didn't perfectly cover small blemishes. Just keep in mind the coverage is not as good as cushions. -Gentle Since it applies like a light cream, it feels less irritating on the skin and doesn't clog pores as much as cushions.
Cons-Transfers There was some transfer and it tended to cling to my nose area. It had a bit of a white cast, almost like applying sunscreen. This may be an issue for those with more sensitive skin. -Easily comes off, poor longevity It didn't stand a chance against masks (even with setting spray) and would start to wear off after 4 hours.
TipNo repurchase intent While I'm satisfied with learning that BB creams can be a good lightweight option, I'd like to try other products. Recommended for dry skin, for days when you don't want a full coverage look, and can be used like a sunscreen.

It's convenient to apply in small amounts.
ConsThe color is not pretty. It's a dark, murky pink that makes fair skin tones look dull. The texture is stiff and takes a long time to spread evenly. After applying it in the afternoon, I noticed it caked up and settled into pores. I don't want to use this product.
TipMixing it with a hydrating sunscreen makes it a bit better.

If your skin condition is excellent, this BB cream would be a great choice to just slap on!
ConsIf your skin is not good, don't use it. It cakes and cracks. The coverage is relatively weak.
TipIf you have good skin hydration and apply it, this could be the ultimate BB cream. It might become your go-to 'no makeup' BB cream.

Cons☞ The scent might be divisive. I personally didn't like it. ☞ It tends to slide around a lot due to the moisturizing formula. ☞ It's not like a typical BB cream. The coverage is quite sheer. ☞ Setting powder is a must, or you'll see the BB cream seeping through everywhere. ☞ If you don't have a solid skincare base, it will cling to pores and separate. It didn't do that when I used it after a facial the previous day. ☞ The price point is a bit disappointing.
TipIf you use it after a facial the previous day and apply it with a strong skincare base in the morning, you can achieve a clean, glowing skin look! The moisturizing formula also gives a subtle radiance, so make sure to have a solid skincare routine.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. I felt that the product had a nice, moisturizing texture and good spreadability. 2. The product blended well with my skin tone and absorbed nicely, improving my complexion. This seems like a good option for those who want light, subtle coverage while also getting sun protection, without being too heavy. I think this would make a great gift for mothers.
Cons1. Personally, I prefer unscented products, so the fragrance was a bit disappointing. 2. The adhesion could be better. It tended to rub off on my mask and didn't seem to absorb as well as some other products. 3. My mother and I used it together, and while it was fine for her stronger skin, it didn't seem to agree with my sensitive/combination skin and caused some redness and minor breakouts, which was unfortunate. 4. The coverage isn't extremely heavy - it provides a light, natural-looking veil of coverage. 5. The price is quite high.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI'm posting a review after using it for a week after being selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer! 🙂 My skin is bright 21 shade, combination, large pores, small acne, acne scars, and redness. 🩷 Color: There is no trace of the ashy tone that usually comes to mind when applying BB cream. At first, it looked a bit dark, but once applied to my 21 shade skin, it was just right! 🩷 Spreadability: The spreadability is very smooth and nice! You can spread it evenly with just your hands without any tools. It saves time when doing base makeup, and even when layering concealer on top, the formula itself is moisturizing, so it applies well and doesn't cake. 🩷 Longevity: Even on hot and sweaty days like these, the longevity is good! I didn't really notice any darkening, and the longevity was satisfactory, except for the area around my lips that tends to wear off easily. 🩷 Pore coverage: My pores on my nose are large and numerous, but it covers them well without caking. Over time, there was no pilling or balling up in the pores, and I was surprised at how well it covered blackheads. 🩷 Skin expression: My skin looks really healthy and beautiful! It gives a glowing, well-cared-for skin-like expression.
Cons🖤 Color: Those who use a lighter skin tone like 21, 17, or 13 may find the color a bit dark. 🖤 Coverage: As it is a BB cream, the coverage was a bit lacking. It helps even out the overall skin tone, but I had to use a separate concealer for dark circles and blemishes. 🖤 Adherence: The formula applies and finishes dewy, so the adherence is not great. As I have oily skin, finishing with powder worked well for me, but those with oily skin may find it heavy and stuffy. 🖤 Fragrance: There is a distinct fragrance (like mom's makeup..?) that may be divisive. However, the fragrance fades quickly, which was fine for me.
TipFirst, when applying BB cream, spread it evenly all over with your hands. Then, apply concealer on areas that need more coverage. Wait a bit for the concealer to set, then gently pat it with a puff to help address the downside of decreased adherence. I recommend using powder as well! I use a translucent powder, and the combination of BB cream and powder works well. For those who want a brighter look or increased longevity, I suggest mixing in a color primer base (e.g., VDL) when applying.

ConsCoverage After a few hours, the coverage significantly decreases. Expression About an hour after application, I'm not sure why, but my pores seem to become more visible. They don't show up well in photos, but up close, there's a 'pore-showing' phenomenon.
TipBe sure to use a cushion or brush to apply it! Using your hands will cause it to clump and leave texture on your face.... I applied it using a cushion.

As you can see from the photos, my skin has relatively few blemishes or redness, so I'm not sure about the coverage. However, the skin expression seems really pretty. When applied, it creates a skin expression like a thin film has been laid over it. 2. Uncommon shade. I had the impression that BB creams are gray, but (those who have tried old BB creams would know) the shade has a beige? orange? feel to it, so I was initially surprised and flustered. Isn't it too dark..? I thought it might be a bit too dark for my skin tone of 21, but when I applied it, it blended in more naturally than I expected, and since I get a bit tanned in the summer, it seems fine. 3. More matte than expected I really dislike oily and stuffy faces, but it's light and more matte than expected, so I was satisfied with the skin expression over time. I recommend the combination skin type. Dry skin types may feel a bit dry.
ConsThe absorption and adhesion are really poor. You absolutely should not apply it with your hands, and a puff is essential. That's the only way it will stick to the skin at all.
TipA puff is essential, and if you apply too much, it gets a bit cakey..! Quite a bit..

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe color is really natural. I'm a #22 tone and it seems to match my skin tone perfectly. If you apply the base firmly and evenly, you can achieve a truly flawless skin expression! It's expressed as if it's bare skin but not, so you can hear all day long that your skin looks great! It's fluffy and non-shiny.
ConsThe base... is really important. Since it's a product that finishes in a semi-matte way, the application isn't extremely smooth, so it can get cakey or peel off... Please apply it thinly and pat it until it's absorbed. Controlling the amount is also important. If you fail to control the amount, clogged pores can be a serious issue... You must apply it while looking in the mirror. You can't just apply it like sunscreen, thinking it will spread well on its own!
TipEstablish a solid base! If I use the Lavian BB cream the day after doing a scrub or face mask, I can achieve a subtle glow, perfect adherence, and amazing skin expression. Apply it thinly. If you feel it's not enough, you can layer another thin coat or supplement it with a cushion! +I'm using the Lavian mist along with it, and the combination of these two is amazing. However, the BB cream is fluffy, but the mist is a collagen mist, so it can feel heavy or get quite shiny in the summer.
