my experience using these for 4+ years now:
- lightweight: Living in a humid country, I sweat alot. Yet, this BB cream feels lightweight on my skin, unlike the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place makeup, which feels super heavy on my skin, almost to the point of uncomfortable in humid weather :( However, i must add that it does not last as long as the Estee Lauder one, esp when i sweat. But this can be remedied with a good setting powder like the urban decay matte powder.
- I have oily skin with some pore concerns on my cheeks due to my past acne scarring. This bb cream does a decent job of smoothening my pores, and brightening my skin tone in a very natural way. and it does not settle into my pits around my nostrils, unlike the Estee Lauder one, which causes unsightly lines to form there :(
- Shade range: This BB cream is the only one that matches my rather tanned yellow skin tone in the Korean line of BB creams. i use the shade 27 for this BB cream.
- skincare benefits: i do not see any improvement in my skin condition while using this product, and i dont expect it to either, since i do not treat this product as a skincare, but as a cosmetic product.

Not suitable for skin that needs hydration. I find this is more suitable for skin not lacking of moisture. Whenever I use this BB cream on my face, I see more wrinkles and dryness and the cream doesn't spread smoothly - leaves a layer of residue on my face. This also clog my nose pores. I have decided not to use this anymore. I am now happily using Laneige magic cushion (moisture) for my face now.

I compared a bunch of BB creams and chose this as it had the most benefits. However, I ended up throwing out the tube after two uses because my skin ended up too gray and didn't match my skin tone at all. I tried to mix products to fix the color but it was just too gray to be redeemable. If you can ignore or fix the color then it should be a fine purchase.

This product certainly has a cult reputation and I can agree on a lot of the positive sides of the product. The lighter shade (21) is grayish in tone which actually makes it a great color match for pale skin. The coverage is also surprisingly good for a BB-cream and the product stays on the face nicely. It suits drier skin also well as the product feels hydrating and also gives the face a nice dewy finish
But now for the minuses. This product is scented to high heavens and at least I can smell it on my skin. I'm not sure if it was the fragrance or something else but my skin developed itchy bumps from this and it's really a shame as otherwise this could be a holy grail.
