Too thick for me but great for oily skin gals
I received Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream about a month ago, to try out and I was very excited because I haven't tested out any BB creams...at all! This particular BB cream comes in a very convenient 1. 5 fl oz squeeze tube, which I totally like and can appreciate the packaging! Here's are Hydroxatone's claims on this BB cream: "Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscre...read moreen is your all-in-one multi-tasking perfecting cream . It hydrates, conceals, protects, reduces the look of aging and brightens skin in just one step. BB cream is also known as Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm and is recently among Asia's hottest beauty products." I have to first mention that I can't really say whether its anti-aging claims are true or not simply because I'm at an age where I'm just now starting to take preventative actions towards aging, meaning I don't quite have wrinkles but I am noticing my face is not as youthful as it was a few years ago. However, I do appreciate that this BB cream does have SPF 40 sunscreen, it is very important to me so I am happy that it eliminates one extra step of applying SPF. This BB cream is very thick it actually feels like a foundation and honestly I was surprised because I really thought a BB cream is supposed to be very light and almost like a tinted moisturizer. Unfortunately it was too thick for my liking, I am a very light foundation wearer and cannot see myself wearing such a thick BB cream on my face on a daily basis. Because this BB cream is very thick, a little bit of product is really all that you need, therefore if you apply way too much it actually makes it hard to blend it and you end up with streaks. In addition, I have combination skin (this BB cream is for all skin types) but I found that it was a bit too drying for my dry spots which created dry patches especially around nose (which is the driest part of my face). What I did love about this BB cream is the coverage, it eliminated any redness from my face, covered up pores and imperfections, almost like a really good concealer. It honestly did make my face look smoother, brighter, more vibrant, and basically flawless (aside from the dry spots). It did take a few minutes to completely dry, but once it did, it made my face feel super soft. Would I purchase this BB cream in the future? No, because it's too thick and drying for me, however I do recommend this BB cream to oily skin gals, and for those who do want full coverage and don't mind wearing a thick BB cream/foundation.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
