ok so firstly I didn't like how all the information was on the box and not a lot on the actual product, I threw the box away after reading it then had nothing to refer back to! first impressions were nice packaging, nice smell but the first few times I used it I found it quite thick and slightly greasy! possibly using too much? I have quite pale skin so found I only had to use a tiny amount before I looked sunkissed but to get a more flawless effect, had to use more which in turn made me look like I was wearing a fake tan! :( so maybe an even lighter shade would have looked better? I think the "light" shade I had is the lightest though! For me personally I would have liked more coverage as my skin is often quite blemished so not suitable for a work day but possibly more for a weekend or day off when you just want a slight "glow!" I didn't notice any reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, but my skin did feel a little firmer and did have a healthy glow! I don't think I would buy it again as I have used other similar products I prefer.

Reviews
Skin Type - My skin is normal to dry - especially during winter. Consistency - feels a bit thicker than the standard BB cream. It feels like there is a bit of substance. Application - it goes on well, and spreads evenly. Fragrance - I can't say I really noticed the smell, had to go back to the tube and smell it! very mild and not at all overpowering which is nice. Coverage - it is more a sheer coverage, and a great base, I use with a bit of powder over the top. It gives more of a matt finish. Longevity - a little bit seems to go quite a long way. Price - yes very well worth the money. Great product for the price. Packaging - the tube is a great little size and weight, could even throw in the handbag for a quick touch up later in the day if needed. Results - I would continue to use it, I find the fragance of the anti aging one nicer, it feels like there is a bit more coverage with it. I will likely swap to this one after using the standard one. Would you recommend it - yes I would recommend it to a friend.
Applying this to clean skin, I found the first application of this didn't spread easily. The texture seemed thick and didn't have the glidability I was expecting.
The next day, thinking as it was winter time and my skin would be drier than normal, or that the product may be colder than desirable too, I applied a moisturiser first, and what a difference!. Smooth, even application, with a fabulous luminous glow to my skin. Great coverage, blending in freckles and age spots.
A little of the cream seemed to go a long way, and lasted all day too. The price is favourable, and the fact that it is on offer at the supermarket makes it easy to purchase.
One criticism though, all the information is on the packaging, in small text. If a target market for this product is the more mature skins, perhaps a folded information sheet inside the packet might be worth thinking about? Very easy to use and convenient tube size though.
Overall, yes, I would use it again, and would be interested to see if in the summer heat the consistency of the cream might soften.
I was really excited to receive this product .
The packaging was great and easy to understand. I liked the texture of the BB cream and the fragrance was pleasant. I did notice that it evened out my skin tone. I liked the way it gave my skin illumination and a healthy glow. I did use a blusher/ bronzer over the top. I felt at first that it was oily but then I blended it well and it settled down. It didn't last as long as my usual foundation would but I did like the idea of the BB cream I would continue to use this product and recommend it too others.
Tips: My tip would be: if you like a bit more of a coverage,you can either put the BB cream under your usual Foundation, or Mix the BB cream with your usual Foundation.
I thought it was an ok BB cream, I have tried a few... This one is quite shiny, I'd imagine that is the anti-aging part, and even though it was 'light' it was a bit too dark for my skin. That seems to be a fault of many BB creams, not enough of a colour range.
Tips: More of a summer choice than a winter one
My skin type is fair and generally on the dry side. At times any makeup products can be absorbed rapidly so it makes applying product a challenge. Application was easy especially when using a makeup brush. The smell was pleasent and not to heavy. It didn't seem to last long once the product was applied. I found the coverage to be sheer and worked well for everyday use even on the weekends when I don't usually use makeup unless going out. The product lasted well over most of the day. Price wise is great value. The packaging was a little 'boring or bland'. The tube is small enough to fit comfortably into my makeup purse I take to the gym. Thought the instructions could also be printed on the tube as some people throw away packaging before reading instructions. My skin felt good and not dry when using product. I would recommend using the product to a friend.
Tips: Use a makeup brush when applying as gets better coverage and less wastage. I used the back of my hand near thumb & forefinger to squeeze small amount out. Made sure my skin was clean and mosturised before applying BB Cream
My skin is usually fairly normal. I found the coveragewas good except it was abit powdery in some areas. I couldn't really tell if it made my skin look different but I could definitely smell it and didnt feel the need to apply more during the day and It smelt great. Don't think I would buy this product at this price maybe more around the $12 mark. I would recommend it I havent tried other bb creams but I like this.
The cream is easy and nice to apply. It leaves the skin looking healthy, shiny and even toned. The clour tint to the cream is good. Suits my skin. I have been wearing it without foundation. I have been really impressed by the product.
I am a regular user of the normal version in this range and really like it so figured I could trust the anti-aging one too. I am so glad this product doesn't cost much because after using it three times I have chucked it away. The product goes on okay but made my face look orange (I used the light shade). Not sure why as I haven't had a problem with the normal version making my face orange.
The anti-aging version is slightly thicker than the other versions and gives more coverage on the skin. I can't say anything about the anti-aging properties and whether they actually work (I didn't use it long enough) but overall I didn't find this any more moisturising than the normal BB Cream.
Fabulous product. I have fine lines with a normal combination skin type. Some visible pigmentation on my cheek area. The product has a creamy consistency and is easy to apply. It blends in well with fingertips, provides a good and even coverage while hydrating and protecting the skin. One application lasts the entire day. Packaging is good in a tube so just enough to squeeze and use. The product is good value for the price and I would recommend this product to a friend and purchase for myself again.
Tips: Medium is definitely for a medium skin tone.
