The Face Shop BB Cream Review

I have been using The Face Shop Arsainte Eco-Therapy bb cream for four months now, and I have found it to be one of the better bb creams that I've tried.




This is what my face looks like before the bb cream.  I have acne scars and uneven skin tone.

Then I apply the bb cream with a sponge.  I use the top of the sponge, and after a use, I cut off the top in a thin slice so I can reuse the sponge.  It really beats cleaning them.


 This bb cream is actually about a shade lighter than my skintone, so it looks strange without powder.

 ...so I apply a mineral foundation that is a bit darker than my skintone.


And the result is pretty good, I would say. 



Coverage:  medium
Texture: creamy
Shade: light
Tint: grey undertone
Fragrance: minor, but pleasant
Oil-Control: medium
Dewy or Matte (finish): matte
Overall comments:  This bb cream is really good for skin lightening.   It goes on lighter than my skin, but I would put a bronzer over top.  After a month and a half of using it, I noticed that even when I had no makeup on, my skin on my face was significantly lighter than the rest of my body.  It got rid of most of my acne scars as well, and never has made me break out.
