I really like this(: I got it 3 days ago at CVS and have to say I love the consistency! It's so light that it feels like you aren't wearing anything, yet still provides some coverage. My only complaint is that it doesn't last throughout the whole day but it's easy to reapply! I love this product because I have insanely sensitive skin and this hasn't broken me out.

I prefer an Asian BB cream. I find that most Western products are more like a tinted moisturizer than a true BB cream.
I wasn't expecting much from this, but the store was out of the brand I wanted so I went for this instead.
It was not usable.
Didn't play nice with my skin, left me looking blotchy and wore completely off within an hour.
Got rid of it right away, can't think of any reason I would continue to use it.

I bought this one on a whim while waiting for another product to arrive in the mail. Thought about trying this one out but was hesitant because it has mixed reviews and it isn't an authentic Asian BB cream. Went to my local super market and it was on sale for $5.50 and I thought, well it won't hurt to try it.


I bought it and they only had #810 light to medium, and it made my face a tad bit darker then my neck which I did not find flattering. It did not do much for me, it does not lighten your completion, has some coverage though but it did not cover my dark circles so I still had to use concealer. It felt alright on but it isn't a BB cream, it began to break me out around the nose, mouth, forehead and temples so I stopped using it after 2 days. I do not recommend, if you want a BB cream try Asian BBs.

i kept hearing about bb cream so i decided to go and pick one up, they were all fairly expensive so i chose the cheapest one, which was this. i havent tried any other, so this might not be a fair review, but i have the light to fair color and when i put it on i feel like i have no makeup on whatsoever, so i put on powder..i noticed it doesnt cover up anything but it does even out my skin tone. i do like this product, though i feel it doesnt have much of a color tint.. the packaging is boring and doesnt catch your eye. i would buy this product again, but i would like to try others to see if they work better.

I have oily skin that's very acne-prone. I had heard a lot of positives about BB creams but I was scared to try a moisturizer on oily skin. I sucked it up and grabbed a tube of this and I'm in love. It actually helped heal my skin and helped fight the oil, too. The coverage isn't great (it's a tinted moisturizer after all; not a foundation) but because of the healing properties of this cream, I don't even have to use a foundation much anymore. I very highly recommend it!

This is the best and original TINTED MOISTURIZER for me!! I used this for years with zero complaints. Then the BB craze hit and I had to try a few out. I had bad results with most and ended up back where I started; with this CG Smoothers. I started with Garnier BB, which left my skin oily and the color oxidized after a few hours. I then tried Maybelline BB Dream Fresh. I did NOT have issues with the color changing but by midday, I was reaching for my shine wipes and pressed powder. Oil of Olay Fresh Effects was the last straw for me- I broke out with the WORST, MOST PAINFUL bumps I have ever had. And not just one or two but multiple!! Sigh. Obviously NOT a good result. So I broke down, threw all the others away and picked this up (again). I almost walked right past it in the store, b/c the packaging has changed. It DOES say right on the tube it is CG Smoothers. The formula, color and coverage are all as I remembered and even better b/c of all the failures I'd gone through. Lesson learned- stick with what you know works!! The coverage is sheer, just what I'd expect from a tinted moisturizer. (I use treatment products to handle my issues and, if you ask me, expecting 10 results from one product seems overly ambitious). Just the right amount of moisture for me over my "right out of the shower" Oil of Olay. The packaging works and you get a decent amount of product for the price. I'm very happy with this repackaged but still original formula of CG Smoothers tinted moisturizer.

This is not a full coverage foundation, it's a BB cream, and it really does even out my skin tone nicely. It has very minimal coverage and doesn't conceal blemishes too well at all. But for skin that is fairly smooth and clear, it evens out the skin tone nicely and leaves it with a natural and glowy finish.

I was totally disgusted with this product. For one thing it didn't make any difference to my skin tone except to make it look greasy. The longer I wore it the darker my skin would look and being very pale it looked as though I had a mask on after a few hours. As a moisturizer, it failed. It never did soak into my skin but laid on top of it like a layer of silly putty. It was the second brand of BB Cream that I have tried and I am beginning to think that this is a product for women with nearly flawless skin to begin with because it doesn't do anything. But it came in a pretty tube. :S

I love this product, but not as a BB cream. It's more of a tinted moisturizer. I may purchase it again, but I do not consider it a BB cream and am on the hunt for one that works. It doesn't make me break out, but it doesn't cover any breakouts that I do have. Bare minimum.
