Lumene Vitamin C+ Illuminating Anti-Age BB-Cream SPF 20

Favorite BB Cream

I'm still on the fence with the BB trend overall since it just seems like a new name for a product that's been around for a while: the tinted moisturizer. Having said that, I like tinted moisturizers and if we're going to call them BB creams, I'll play along. I've tried a few BBs now -- from drugstore level to top-shelf. This is the winner by a landslide. That it can be nabbed for under $15 at Walgreens also makes me happy. Consistency is the right balance of thick enough to stay put (not runny like some) but thin enough to blend and build. The tints are also right for me (fair to medium, preferring yellow/neutral tones over pinks). Most importantly, the formula is chock full of antioxidants, including Vitamin C, and a decent SPF. I'm finishing my first tube (almost 4 months), and my skin looks healthy. There've been no breakouts with this, and I think it has worked well with my other products to help with some brown spots and overall luminosity. Score!
