wowww seems a great product
wow wonder if this is good!
Everyone is starting to do BB cream like Dior, Boscia and now Mac…but I’m confused because Dr. Jart and Mac are using the title Beauty Balm instead of Blemish Balm. I’m guessing it doesn’t have the same benefits of Asian/German BB creams, but Dr. Jart does have same benefits.
I wonder if it will lighten hyper pigmentation like other BB creams.
No, it won’t.
great it is very importand to have spf now that summer comes
Do you know what the sunscreen active is? SPF 35 is more than I usually need but it’d be nice to have for when I know I’ll be outside more…
At the very, very least, you should get an SPF 15. But people usually don’t apply enough and therefore don’t get the full protection of that level of sun protection. 35 is a good SPF value.
Yup, I know we’re supposed to wear SPF 15 regularly. I meant, do we know yet what the active ingredient (suncreen ingredient) is?
It’s titanium dioxide.
