I was indeed looking forward to trialling this BB cream having read good press on it. Unfortunately (or fortunately, for my skin) I have stopped sunbedding and where I was once a medium skin tone I am now a light so the colour was not a good match for my skin but I used it a few times with some very careful blending. The packaging is not eye catching and I would not be drawn to it on a shelf. It did not smell over scented and the texture was a good consistency and went on well, with good moderate coverage. I liked the feel on my skin and it lasted for the 8 hours I wore it. Extra bonus containing SPF. It was easy to remove and my skin felt smooth afterwards. I did not 'breakout' as I have done in the past, with other BB/CC creams. As a fan of BB/CC creams I plan to try the lighter shade of this product. I like to use these creams when I don't feel like wearing full foundation. Due to the shade difference I can't review all aspects of this cream but have rated it on what I could.

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.
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.
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.
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 quite sensitive so, it is possible that although age appropriate, the anti-aging formula may have not been the most suitable variant of the product for me. The product itself did seem lighter compared to normal foundation and as such spread better also but was still quite heavy compared to my usual mix of normal foundation and moisturizer. The shade did not suit my olive complexion and appeared visibly pink on my skin. With so few shades to choose from I am not confident I could find a matching shade for my skin should I wish to continue using the product beyond the trial sample.
After application I found it exaggerated rather than hid the lines on my face, which I was not particularly thrilled about and I did not notice any skin improvement during the trial period. I do question whether the reported fifty people in the trials stated on the packaging was sufficiently large to constitute a truly representative random sample. The product however did endure well through the day consistently, with no obvious signs of wearing off, for example shine. I found the fragrance too strong and near eyewatering. The product is reasonably priced so nonetheless may be worth considering if one is less sensitive and can find a suitable shade.
After reading reviews of others I had to try this for myself. So far I have found it great, blends nicely and I love the gentle fragrance it has. It's so light it just feels like a moisturiser. The only thing I have found is it can go a little oily toward the end of the day but I will defiantly continue to us this product.
Tips: Only use a small amount a little goes a long way.
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
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.
When I first used this cream I thought it way too dark for my complexion, but soon realised that I only needed to use very little in comparison with other products as it spreads well.( which is a great asset) It goes on very smoothly and gives a nice healthy sheen to the complexion.
Tips: I apply with a brush and found that a good moisturiser underneath is very necessary. Would most certainly continue using and recommend to others.
