Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream

If you're an avid user of Neutrogena's Fina Fairness range, then you'd love their newest product, Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream. I've been using this BB Cream in lieu of my liquid foundation everyday for almost a month now, so here's my review.

Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream

About the product:

Ingredients:

Pros:

• The pump packaging is hygienic and is easy to control.

• The manufacturing and expiry date is printed on both the box and the base of the product. The shelf life of this product is 2 years.

• It's oil-free and it works well in keeping my face look brighter and fresher (but not shiny) for a longer period of time. It sticks on my skin and does not melt off easily even with super humid weather.

When worn

• I don't use face powder anymore since I like the dewy glow it gives. I just use an oil-blotting sheet by mid-day to remove excess oil.

• This BB Cream looks very natural-looking. I can still see my skin's undertones even if I have this on. The coverage is sheer and it brightens up my complexion instantly.
• It has only 1 shade, but it adjusts to your skintone because of the skin-matching minerals it contains.
• It's non-comedogenic and it lives up to its promise. I didn't get breakouts from this BB Cream even if I use this everyday. (I still use a makeup remover at the end of the day.)

Cons:

• Because of the packaging, you can't see exactly how much product is left inside. One day you'll be surprised that you're already out of BB Cream.
• The first time I used this without moisturizer/sunblock, it was so hard to apply and blend. I used Belo Essentials SunExpert Face Cover SPF 40 as my moisturizer/sunblock prior to applying the BB Cream, and it makes the BB Cream glide more smoothly and evenly on my skin. You have to use a creamy base under this BB Cream for it to work.
• Warning: Don't use a gel-based moisturizer under this BB Cream; they don't mix well. Using one then applying this BB Cream will cause the product to "peel off" or "exfoliate" from your skin.
• It can't cover dark circles or very red marks. You still have to use a separate concealer for that.

I'd recommend this BB Cream to those who are after a natural and dewy look. I've stopped using my liquid foundation for the meantime because of this, which I use everyday. I like the coverage (because I feel that it is enough for me) and the fact that it has skin care benefits (such as Lily and Vitamin C that control melanin production) and UV blocking properties. Neutrogena Fine Fairness BB Cream is priced at P720.00 and is available in Watsons.

Love,
