I love this product! For me, it's the best BB cream I've tried so far. I've also tried Skin79 Gold Label, BRTC Jasmine Water and Missha M Perfect Cover no 21 and this is the only one that didn't make my skin flakey. Unfortunately, it's a tad too dark for me (I'm a NW15) but it makes my skin look beautiful, glowy (not oily) and it has provides great cover! I'm a fan!
Love it. Kind of light on my skin but it's not too noticeable or bad looking.
Covers everything nicely, doesn't irritate my skin (unlike MAC's foundations or tinted moisturizers) and it's not that expensive. I wish it did not come in a pump up tube though because from experience it NEVER gets the product to the last drop.

I wanted to love this BB cream, but it doesn't have SPF, which is part of the reason I wear them, and partly because it was WAY too dark. It had a nice consistency, though the smell was a bit overpowering. I'll keep searching for my perfect bb cream!

NOTE: I use the BB Magic Cream SPF30/PA++ version of the product (the blue tube).
I *love* this product! I was drawn to the BB cream because of acne pigmentation marks, and wanted to find something that would help to fade them, without breaking me out (*coughcoughSuperfadecoughcough*). It's been over a month since my tube arrived in from eBay (less than $20), and I haven't stopped using it.
Since I started using the BB Cream, I've only broken out twice: once on the second day I used the cream (because I overpumped and applied too much product - but even then, it was only one little whitehead) and once because of monthly hormones. Both times, the breakouts been smaller and healed faster because of the BB Cream.
The cream has also completely faded the red pigmentation marks left from previous breakouts!!
There are a few 'cons' to the BB Cream: it is tinted, but not enough to act as a true tinted moisturiser - it just gives medium coverage to even out the skin tone and cover up minor blemishes, but darker blemishes will still show up. For me, I find that it just gives me a more natural 'no make up look'. If you want more coverage, I would recommend adding powder or foundation over the top once the cream has settled in.
The other 'con' is that this isn't a very thick/rich moisturiser - I find that while I don't have particularly dry skin, there are areas on my face that feel a little less than soft and dewey than other areas. If you have dryer skin, I'd recommend going for the BB Magic Cream Moist (the purple tube).
But apart from those two, minor cons, I highly recommend this product - I can't get enough of it!!

This is a good BB cream (I got the SPF30 ver./blue box), it's medium-light coverage, so I would finish with powder or another layer. Matches my skin tone really nicely, glides on nicely. Serves its purpose by giving the face a pretty & smooth look and glow. The tube is a little annoying, because after half or so is used, the air in the tube will prevent the cream from coming out, so you have to hold it upright then squeeze the air out, etc. Eh. I think I would recommend this for drier/colder climates, because the face may get oily with this or smear in hot weather. But it's a good inexpensive cream. Enjoy BB Magic Cream! ^ ^ continued >>
I like this product! It matches my skin tone very well. It's easy to apply and hides my little blemishes and evens out the skin.I just wish that it lasted longer on my skin.
skin: dry to combination, a little morena
country: tropical
+ easy to apply; not too thick
+ dewy finish
+ fragance: nice and mild, it goes away after application
+ oil control: not the best but it's okay
+ application: wash face, apply bb cream on face & neck, and that's it
+ coverage: very good; remember not to apply too much
+ one tube can last for months
+ remove it before sleeping
over all, it's a good bb cream. continued >>
I initially bought this to use on weekends when I want to give my skin a rest from liquid foundation I use 5 days out of 7. I wasn't satisfied with the result. It was to sheer, too light. But I somehow figured I could use it as base for my foundation (Revlon Photoready) instead and it's an amazing primer! It doesn't control oil which I have grown to accept that I have to blot and retouch with powder at least twice throughout the day but this makes my foundation last!
Until I find a good primer to replace this, I'm buying again. And I doubt that cos I don't want primers that promise oil control because it would also mean it would have silicon to block the pores from producing oil.. I could be wrong about that but..
First BB cream I tried and by far my favorite. I have the Oily skin version - in lavender packaging.
Pros:
- Natural/dewy finish and not cakey at all.
- No breakouts/irritation from using this product
- Packaging (pumps are always appreciated)
- A little goes a long way (been using this consistently for a year, my first tube lasted me for over six months)
- Medium to sheer coverage but definitely buildable and easy to adjust to your skin's needs - this BB cream worked wonders in covering my hormonal acne a year ago and post-chemical peel scars, dry patches were barely visible!!!
Cons:
- "grey cast" effect - which can be solved by setting this with a minimal amount of powder
- Only one shade available (over the summer I mix this with the L'EGERE UV Whitening BB cream, which is slightly darker, to balance out the shade)

This is my on the go tinted moisturizer since it's so easy to apply and it lasts long enough when set with powder. Although you need to blend it out fast since it sets really quickly, it evened out my skin tone and it concealed minor flaws so I didn't really need to put on concealer underneath it (just applying a second coat on my dark circles was enough to cover them substantially). The pump-type nozzle was very convenient but I did feel that there was a lot of product left that I wasn't able to use after finishing the tube.
