This BB cream has SPF 20 PA+ (PA stands for Protection Grade of UVA. There are PA+, PA++ and PA+++. Of course, PA+++ has higher level of protection which suitable for those that stay out in the sun most part of the day).
The description found on the package states that Aloe Sun BB Cream is rich with aloe, which possesses excellent hydrating properties and soothing effect, this multi-funtional skin care product (UV protector and blemish corrector) provides moisture and nutrition to your skin while providing protection from UV rays.

Here's a before and after pic of my problem area:
What I don't like about this BB Cream:
-It only comes in lighter shades. I believe there are only 2 shades, #1 (radiant) & #2 (natural). The one I got is #2.
-Availability. For most of us there are no store location that we could actually come in and test the product out. The only way to buy this is to purchase it online with the assumption that the color, scent, consistency of the product will work for us.
-Scent. This BB cream has a scent that's a little above mild point. For me, the scent is actually very nice but this could be a big turn off for people that preferred natural product without any scent.
-A little bit hard to blend.
What I like about this BB Cream:
+It's inexpensive. It costs me less than $15 including shipping on Ebay (yep, good ol' Ebay for me!!).
+Has SPF 20 PA+
+Makes skin glow and looking vibrant! I love how after applying it I could immediately see the difference on my skin. It looks so much brighter and healthier.
+Coverage is light to medium. What I like about this product is you can build up coverage by adding more product and yet, your skin is still looking very natural.
+Oil control is very good. This is very much comparable to my other favorite, LEGERE. Both of them doesn't leave my skin too shiny of oil. I only need to blot my face once during a day.
***Overall, this is another one of my favorite BB Creams. If you wanna try BB cream and don't know where to start, give this a try! I recommend getting it from LEGENDEUX, the Ebay seller I got it from. Prices are cheaper than most others on Ebay and very easy to deal with.

Hi, I hope this doesn't sound dumb but I'm a newbie to BB Cream and I'd just like to know - are we still supposed to use our two-way-cake powder after applying our bb cream? Or is it BB Cream last step and no powder on top of it? Please reply :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice written and cute made blog i like the clolour ... chink chink.........i added your blog in my fav list now its realy nice to read kisses !
ReplyDeleteI like Skinfood
ReplyDeleteHi babe,
ReplyDeleteSo this is a very good bb cream right as mentioned, suitable for sensitive skin right? Can i check with you where can i purchase this online. I tried to search it on LEGENDEU but it's no longer avail.
If you're in Canada and want to buy SkinFood products, check out this website: www.skinfood.ca
ReplyDeleteShipping is fast and they would order new products for you too if you don't see it already on the site!
