Hydra Zen BB Cream

This offers the same look as Estee Lauder's EE Enlighten Cream but leaves a tacky feeling on my face, i.e., I feel I have something on and that my skin is not breathing. The effect is beautiful, though. Light coverage, would still need to use corrector. Silky texture.

Oh no...it seems I am in minority here. I tried this products few weeks ago and I didn't like it because even the lightest colour had a bit of orangy tint and it made my pores so big. PLus it wasn't hydrating and looked ugly on my chin. Boo.

I have a drawer full of tinted moisturers and so called "natural" make up. This is without doubt the best on the market - I have tried eye watering expensive brands and the high street. The colour Sable is almost unique - my main problem with all foundations and tints is the colours - always too pale or too yellow and make me look ill! Sable is just a healthy glow with a slight …Read more

This is far out the best TM I have ever tried. (and I tried a lot!) It is amazing how it evens out your skin tone without looking unnatural. It looks and feels as if you're wearing a second skin. Gives you a healthy, dewy glow. Shade 2 matches my skin tone perfectly. They call it a BB now, which I find a bit strange because it has the same formula (thank god) as when it was on the market as …Read more

This is my first review here :-)
This product is PERFECT. I am fair-medium skin, combination, no blemishes or pigmentation.
I've been buying this product again and again- offers a light coverage, amazing glow to the skin, and the size is 50 ml (like a cream, not 30 like foundation).
The price is an ouch,BUT I always buy it when lancome offers sales/discounts.
Definitely …Read more

THIS IS PERFECT! If you're looking for that fresh, sexy, natural, dewy look, this is it!
I have it in colour 01 and it's a very good match for my skin, it's sort of a neutral beige however if you're very very pale this will be a bit too dark for you.
I'm in love with this product and the look it gives and will definitely repurchase!!

I bought this to replace my Lancôme Aqua Fusion tinted moisturiser which is no longer available. The two products are actually quite different. Aqua Fusion was much thicker and creamier and didn't need moisturiser underneath. It had a higher SPF rating but also melted pretty quickly in the hot summer. Hydra Zen BB cream is a little lighter with a similar light coverage. It leaves a satiny …Read more

I've come back to amend my original review:

It took a while to get used to this formula. I need moisturiser but I need for it to sink in for at least 20 minutes before I apply this base. If my moisturiser hasn't absorbed properly then I am left with a very shiny face when I apply this.

I love the colour - it matches my skin colour completely. I love the texture …Read more

I like to test new products under different circumstances (airplane, outdoors, air conditioning, heating, humid, dry air, morning, evening) just to see how they hold up. And I freaking love this TM! First of all, it's a tinted moisturizer, so there's very little coverage because that's not its purpose. I have fairly good skin, with tiny acne scars and some pigmentation, which this …Read more

I was persuaded to buy this while I was looking for a good BB creme in the market. Major issues for me are that I break out with just about anything, especially products that sit on my skin for a long period of time, leading to pore blockage. I chose this product because the shade matched my dark skin (unlike Clarins which just has one shade!) and because it had SPF and because it is supposed to …Read more
