Not the Greatest

There is so much hype about BB creams, so I decided to try L'Oreal's. I was expecting to see a smoothing of my skin and a touch of color. There was no smoothing and the color is very faint. If I had at least seen some kind of difference I would rate it higher. But, for me this did nothing I expected. So, I bought the Too Faced BB and love it!! It does smooth and add a nice glow. Even though it costs more, I feel it's worth it to have a product that works.

Great BB for a natural look

This BB is geared toward mature or aging skin so if you're oily or breakout prone, it may not make sense to try this one. However, my middle aged combo skin LOVES it! It has light coverage that balances my overall skin tone but doesn't cover major imperfections. It wears all day and I don't feel or look any greasier throughout the day than with any thing else on my face. I have tried numerous BB's and for a natural finish, this is hand's down the best drugstore BB for aging combo skin.

Not the best

This was my first BB product. While it made my skin look refreshed and younger it was also very greasy. While I wore the product my face looked great and it provided superior sun protection. However, when I tried to remove the product I had to take extra care and I often broke out with acne. This is a great product to use when going out in the sun on a summer day or going to the beach however it is too greasy for day to day use.

Light and Pretty face

I bought this to use instead of foundation for my daily routine. It gives very light coverage, gives my face a smooth appearance, and lasts all day when set with powder. Just a pea-sized amount does the job. Color is natural on my light skin. It gives my face a finished look without a lot of fuss. Perfect for daily wear but not for evening or special looks. It feels tacky at first but dries ...read moreto a smooth finish after a couple of minutes or after setting with powder. Definitely a keeper for my makeup bag.

Great bb cream.

I just sampled it a bit, and it really went great with my oily skin, and gave it a flawless matte finish. I think this product would be great. :)

Good but not great

I wasn't thrilled with this BB cream. The coverage isn't that great and its a very "wet" product, meaning when you put bronzer or blush on top they don't blend well at all. I wear this on days when I'm just kicking around and don't need makeup. It does even out my skin tone but that's about it. I like the luminizing quality. I was disappointed because I love Youth Code products and thought this would be amazing. I think L'Oreal missed the mark on this one.
