Not for me!
I got a deluxe sample of this. Although I admire what the brand tries to accomplish by making their products all natural, needless to say I have never been the biggest Boscia brand. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to love this, it joins the list of other Boscia products that have failed me. There are simply more cons than pro's when it comes to me. First, I don't like the universal shade. It's ...read morea bit too light and too beige. I have a light-medium olive tone and this is not only too light, but too pink on me. I even applied olive-tone foundation on top of this and I looked incredibly pink. If you have a perfect beige (or even more pink) tone, then this is good for you. (Which I find weird because Boscia is a Japanese brand and most Japanese people are more yellow-toned rather than beige or pink-toned). This BB cream is supposed to 'warm up' to your skin and adjust a bit in color, but I did not see anything. In fact, I think my face looked worse after several minutes of letting the color adjust than when I put it on immediately. I do like the way my makeup looks on top of this TEXTURE-wise (it smoothed over my skin), but the color is terrible. Plus, this isn't a BB cream suitable to be used as a primer (which is rare because nearly all BB creams on the market can be used as a primer). It does an okay job at smoothing texture, but it doesn't do nearly a good job like what a primer can do. Next, this BB cream offers little-to-no noticeable hydration. BB creams have a reputation for being labeled as tinted moisturizers with extra benefits, but this did not do anything. I agree with the others in saying that this is likely better for people with oilier skin types. This is an oil-free BB cream so that will benefit that group best. Also, what's with the random 27 number in spf??? What I did like was that this also offers UVA protection at a high level (PA ++). UVA rays are what causes our skin to age prematurely. Another thing I liked was that this did not emphasize any dry flakey spots like Miracle Skin did because they are both similar in texture. The tone is best for light-skinned people with oily skin and beige undertones, but that's basically it. It will even out your skin tone slightly, but do not expect any sort of decent coverage. It does not conceal imperfections like it claims to. However, the thing I liked most was that this contained physical sunscreens as opposed to chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the skin and can cause free-radical damage because the particles absorb the light. This BB cream has physical sunscreens which REFLECT the light so fewer free-radicals are produced. This also does offer some anti-oxidant protection to neutralize the free-radicals that occur on a regular basis. To sum everything up in a nutshell, unless you're VERY curious to try this, I would skip it unless you're very oily, light and beige. If you're not in that group, there are many other BB creams that are much better and offer better protection and benefits.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

BEAUTY? balm
May be good for some women but my skin is dry with lines on my mouth area....uhhhh....not what I would call beauty as this stuff just made it look all the worse. Best for younger skin and with more natural oil. I always check formula first....if that is good then I go to color....couldn't even to the color on this one!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Dry & Powdery
As far as BB cream goes, this shade is more like a mineral sunscreen. Left white cast a la kabuki makeup. I think it would be great for someone who is very pale with oily skin.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 7 people said helpful
