Boscia B.B. Cream SPF 27 PA++ Reviews

Not for me!
I got a deluxe sample of this. Although I admire what the brand tries to accomplish by making their products all natural, needless to say I have never been the biggest Boscia brand. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to love this, it joins the list of other Boscia products that have failed me. There are simply more cons than pro's when it comes to me. First, I don't like the universal shade. It's a bit too light and too beige. I have a light-medium olive tone and this is not only too light, but too pink on me. I even applied olive-tone foundation on top of this and I looked incredibly pink. If you have a perfect beige (or even more pink) tone, then this is good for you. (Which I find weird because Boscia is a Japanese brand and most Japanese people are more yellow-toned rather than beige or pink-toned). This BB cream is supposed to 'warm up' to your skin and adjust a bit in color, but I did not see anything. In fact, I think my face looked worse after several minutes of letting the color adjust than when I put it on immediately. I do like the way my makeup looks on top of this TEXTURE-wise (it smoothed over my skin), but the color is terrible. Plus, this isn't a BB cream suitable to be used as a primer (which is rare because nearly all BB creams on the market can be used as a primer). It does an okay job at smoothing texture, but it doesn't do nearly a good job like what a primer can do. Next, this BB cream offers little-to-no noticeable hydration. BB creams have a reputation for being labeled as tinted moisturizers with extra benefits, but this did not do anything. I agree with the others in saying that this is likely better for people with oilier skin types. This is an oil-free BB cream so that will benefit that group best. Also, what's with the random 27 number in spf??? What I did like was that this also offers UVA protection at a high level (PA ++). UVA rays are what causes our skin to age prematurely. Another thing I liked was that this did not emphasize any dry flakey spots like Miracle Skin did because they are both similar in texture. The tone is best for light-skinned people with oily skin and beige undertones, but that's basically it. It will even out your skin tone slightly, but do not expect any sort of decent coverage. It does not conceal imperfections like it claims to. However, the thing I liked most was that this contained physical sunscreens as opposed to chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the skin and can cause free-radical damage because the particles absorb the light. This BB cream has physical sunscreens which REFLECT the light so fewer free-radicals are produced. This also does offer some anti-oxidant protection to neutralize the free-radicals that occur on a regular basis. To sum everything up in a nutshell, unless you're VERY curious to try this, I would skip it unless you're very oily, light and beige. If you're not in that group, there are many other BB creams that are much better and offer better protection and benefits. — 11 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

BEAUTY? balm
May be good for some women but my skin is dry with lines on my mouth area....uhhhh....not what I would call beauty as this stuff just made it look all the worse. Best for younger skin and with more natural oil. I always check formula first....if that is good then I go to color....couldn't even to the color on this one!! — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Dry & Powdery
As far as BB cream goes, this shade is more like a mineral sunscreen. Left white cast a la kabuki makeup. I think it would be great for someone who is very pale with oily skin. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

not for me
I recently recieved a deluxe sample of this and dr. Jart+ bb creams to try. I must say the color worked for my skin type and it was light feeling. With that said a very short time after appling my face became flaky, and look like I had applied a powder. — 7 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great product!
I am recently new to the Boscia line and have been very impressed so far. I received a sample of the BB cream and LOVE IT! My skin tone is medium and have normal/dry skin. This blends beautifully and does not dry out my skin. Works great with my mineral makeup. I will be purchasing soon. — 8 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Disappointing
I have fair skin with rosy undertones. The "one shade fits all" color was too dark for me. This was also really difficult to blend in and doesn't give good coverage. Its this first BB cream I've tried, so I hope to find a better version. For the price, I've been able to salvage this as a primer on the t-zone for bare minerals. Won't buy again. — 10 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Repeat buyer!
I am on my second tube of the BB cream. I love it very much as the color was perfect for my skin... light/medium with olive undertones. This cream was not too yellow or orange like some tinted moisturizers are. I love the higher SPF. There are "sparkles" in this product but they do not show up heavily on your skin despite being there on the brush. I have found that my fingers or a cosmetic foundation brush work best... not a sponge for this application. This gives good coverage but also lets your natural skin show through. It will cover some smaller pimples, but for larger or darker ones I still need a cover up. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Mositurizer?
I tried this product and was very diappointed. It was dry and had a very dark color, definitely not for my very fair skin. It was thick and was not moisturizing. I also did not notice any priming effects. This just felt like a really cheap heavy foundation. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
