L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream with SPF 20, 5-in-1 Skin Tint with Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E, Lightweight Hydrating Formula Adapts to Skin Tone for a Natural Glowy Finish, 30 ml, Shade: 05 Medium Dark

This is a review for both the BB and CC under this listing as I've bought both and using both. I originally got the CC version as I'm very pale and red, acne prone. The CC cream is excellent at covering redness, I just wore it instead of foundation and weirdly people commented there was something different about me and I looked well? 🤣 Anyway, although it covered the redness I personally thought it came up a little too orange around the jawline but as it's the best CC cream I've come across I didn't want to stop using it altogether. This is when I decided to get the light 02 BB cream shade. I was skeptical about the shade as I have literally tried every BB cream out there in my quest to stop wearing heavy foundation (I have to wear some form of tinted cream because my face is , as mentioned above, acne prone and red and blotchy, otherwise I'd love to wear nothing). Every one I've tried made me look like an oompa loompa. This is the first one that doesn't! It comes out white and then warms. I use a different blend sponge with both the CC cream and BB cream and now what I do, after my serum and suncream, is add the CC cream first on the red areas like my cheeks, around my nose, and any spots on my chin. Then I add a small splodge of the BB cream on my forehead , cheeks and jaw, middle of nose and chin. Then I blend it all in and the combination of them both looks amazing and now I don't have the orangy look around the jawline as I just use the BB cream on the jawline. The combination is honestly the best thing I've come across and I haven't picked up my foundation in like a month now. I will continue to use the BB cream and CC cream together. I appreciate some say it's not light, don't let that put you off though. I'm very pale, I've always chosen like Ivory in most foundation shades if that helps, then maybe the next one up during summer months. It's a case of just trying it with BB creams. One day you'll find the right one!

Such a nice product. Really lovely alternative to full foundation and reduces redness really well. Deffo recommend to anyone wanting a lighter base. Have bought more since and recommended to friends who have also loved it.

This is a review for the CC Cream with SPF 11, Anti-Redness and Colour Correcting cream. I emphasise the type of product I'm reviewing, as I read so many conflicting reviews which lead me to believe that sometimes the reviewers are not quite clear on the function of the product they're reviewing. Not all CC creams are created the same. They may come in different colours and hues to address different skin concerns. Anti-redness CC creams often appear green because they are specifically formulated to neutralise skin redness. This is based on colour theory, where green and red sit directly opposite each other on the colour wheel, meaning they cancel each other out when layered. The green pigment targets concerns like rosacea, acne-induced redness, broken capillaries, or general skin irritation. By cancelling out red tones, the cream creates a more neutral, even-toned base before applying other makeup. Some, like L'Oreal, also employ skin-adapting technology, which means they use encapsulated pigments. These tiny capsules break upon application, causing the green cream to transform into a beige or skin-toned shade that blends with your natural complexion. I really like this CC cream. It fulfills it primary function beautifully. It corrects my facial redness and reduces the visibility of my broken capillaries whilst it smooth and evens my skin complexion at the same time. It is green and very light in consistency. The green adapts to the natural skin tone nicely. Easily applied, the cream absorbs quickly, provides very good coverage and leaves the skin feeling well hydrated for hours. One thing important to me is that it does not contain any drying alcohols and the formula is designed to provide up to 24 hours of hydration using glycerin and fig extracts. I do not detect any specific smell but the formulation does contain perfumes and fragrance ingredients, which could be problematic for sensitive skin,which is something to be aware of. I have not experienced any irritation or adverse reactions at all. To cover half a face, one needs about a small pea sized amount of the product, so the 30ml size will last for quite a while, which makes this cream a very good value for money. One slight criticism I have is the SPF 11; in my opinion this is just a marketing gimmick. SPF 11 is such a low SPF, that, if one is serious about the skin protection, is not even worth considering. Also the product description on Amazon is not good, it mixes the CC and BB creams and provides conflicting or insufficient info. CC anti-redness creams are supposed to be applied to the affected area only, i.e. your cheeks, so for the rest of your face you will still have to use another product. For these 2 reasons I am deducting a star, otherwise I fully recommend this cream. In summary, I consider this to be a very good quality cream at a bargain price, and I will purchase it again.

This BB cream suits my skin so well. I really didn't think I needed BB cream but I followed a friend's advice and bought this tube of BB cream. When you open the tube you will see the colour of the cream is white but it quickly transforms to the colour of your natural skin. and there is a difference in the texture of my skin, it is definitely softer which makes it look younger. I am really happy with it.This BB cream works perfectly for my skin. Initially, I didn't think I needed a BB cream, but I took my friend's advice and purchased this tube. When you first open the tube, the cream appears white, but it quickly adapts to match your natural skin tone. I've noticed a significant difference in my skin's texture; it feels much softer, which gives it a younger appearance. Overall, I am very happy with this product.

even though this is classed as light, it seems quite on the dark side, to me. I mixed it with moisturiser when I put some on this morning. It is easy to apply, but drys datker after a few seconds

I actually bought this by mistake instead of cc cream version as I found that to be a little too orange for my pale skin. This actually looks great on my skin, no orange tinge to it and blends well..

Per il prezzo è un ottimo prodotto , copre e non serve trovare la tonalità della tua pelle

Deckt gut , hält lange und die Haut wird nicht trocken

Not good

Bonne

De creme is groen mooi kleurt mooi mee met je huid. Het is niet mega dekkend dus het draagt niet als een foundation. Dat vind ik persoonlijk heel fijn omdat ik geen make up gezicht wil met mijn 40 jaar.
