I love how this moisturizes my skin and creates a clean, even look to my skin. I use it every day and the coverage is perfect! It is cost effective because the bottle lasts several months. It is my go-to product that I can't live without!
L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator in Light Tint is what I use as my basic daily foundation. I already have clear skin, so I do not need the full coverage of a heavy, thick liquid foundation. This product is essentially just a tinted lotion. I use it to smooth, brighten and protect my skin and then I soften with a light dusting of a loose powder foundation over top. It comes in a large bottle, 75 mL, so it tends to be more expensive than a small 30 mL bottle of foundation but for me it's worth it because this product lasts way longer! The formula isn't oily and goes on smoothly, just like a moisturizer. Highly recommend for women who do not need the full coverage of a conventional liquid foundation!
For about $20, this is a pretty good BB cream. I couldn't find this product at first because it was in the face wash/face cream section and not with the cosmetics. I was looking for an all in one lotion and skin perfector for everyday use that would make me look put together but not necessarily done up. A bb cream seemed like a logical choice. I decided on the L'oreal youth code because of the anti aging properties that seemed like an added bonus. I got the light colored cream and the tone seemed to oxidize well and match with my skin tone. The cream was quite thick and had that tacky sticky feeling common with SPF lotions. First impression was that I loved the illuminating finish it left in the skin. My skin looked dewy and bright. The coverage was pretty good. It hid my dark circles under the eyes and just gave an overall smooth and even color tone without filling pores or lines the way foundation does.
The coverage held up well throughout the day but I have to say it did make me look shiny and oily by the afternoon. I felt like I wanted to wash my face. I have combination skin so this happens to me with most face products by mid day. This product works beautifully for my skin in the winter when my skin tends to be drier and the dewy illuminated I finish is beautiful. However in the summer, it just makes me look oily so I need to wash my face and reapply in the afternoon which is probably a good thing since you need to top up your SPF by then anyway.
Minus points for the price. It was slightly expensive in my opinion. For a few dollars more I could have got a sephora brand. Also minus points for the lack of oil control.
Major plus for the anti aging, illuminator, sunscreen, and even complexion I got. Also loved the fact that it kind of acts like a foundation but with the easy application of lotion. I would probably get this product again and do recommend you try it. .
Works as well as any other BB Cream. Feels a little runny in my opinion, but stays on great.
This is now my go-to product. Great coverage, the smell (I get migraines/headaches easily) is great and not over powering and its super easy to apply. My only wish is that they come out with a fair option. In the winter months I have to add a touch of regular moisturizer to dull the colour down as I am very fair, almost transparent by February. I say if you want to have use something that will cover all the bases in a quick apply buy this! P.S. I find I don't even need to use concealer around my nose when I use this and I always have to do that with other BB creams and foundations.
I personally found this to be too heavy for my skin, feeling like a foundation. The colour matched my skin exactly but I wanted it to have a slight whitening effect like how traditional BB creams. After wearing it for a few hours, it just felt too thick and heavy on my face. I do have oily skin though however, so this may be more moisturizing feeling for someone with dry skin as opposed to feeling too thick and heavy. Overall I just found that I have better BB cushions and BB creams! The price is decent though
This is a great product. Once I started using it, I could not go to another brand. It is reasonably priced, has SPF, and gives your face a smooth, even palette to add blush. It is not heavy on your skin and is an all around great product.
Great Product. Gives an even skin look very moisturizing and gives dull skin that little glow. You can use by itself or under your regular make up for a more dramatic look.
This product gives decent coverage and the colour matches well with my skin tone. Went on smooth however did find it didnt sink into my skin as well as some other BB creams I've tried. But overall is a good product
I actually had a 4 dollar off coupon from when i received the sample and i used it when it was on sale for $16.99 .... BONUS !!
When i heard that this BB cream stuff could be used for flawless skin i was wary.This was my first time.
I used the light tone one and i find that its very sheer. Once you apply it you won't see much of a difference but after a while it blends. I carry around oil absorbing sheets since i have mid-way through the day my skins gets oily whenever i put on foundation or other things.
I also love the SMELL!
Overall, i would buy it again but it doesn't replace foundation or concealer completely.So you may have to use those if you need more coverage for blemishes
