Intense Classic Balm BB Cream

This is the best beauty product I have ever used. I have very light skin keep in mind, I am a ginger who has a few freckles and I like to even my skin tone out a bit with foundation but I freakin hate foundation because it's too heavy it looks cakey and gets all up in my pre emergent not quite there yet wrinkles and makes me look like old. I have tried bb creams as substitute for the foundation and they just don't cover anything. I mean seriously it would be better to just wear sunscreen then the maybeline brand bb cream. THIS BB CREAM IS THE BEST for me. If you don't have light skin, I mean vanilla white skin it would probably be too light. For those who have the same problem as me and can't find a foundation that doesn't make a distinct line between your face and neck making your face look orange, this is for you. It blends great, you don't need to use much to get decent coverage, it doesn't feel thick or gross on your skin like foundation, and it doesn't smell like most nasty American foundations. It lasts all day without giving breakouts and makes your skin look awesome and healthy, a healthy glow rather then a nasty caked on look.If you have light ish skin but can get away with the classic light foundation of most beauty brands without it being too dark for your skin tone, give BB Petit a try. It smells good. It covers good, a little bit goes a long way and is a bit darker then this cream. I use it sometimes and it isn't quite as good of a match for my skin tone but I love the way it makes my skin feel. It is a very good product. Give either product a try and you will never look back.

I fell in love with BB Cream after hearing about it from a Japanese makeup blog. I started out with the Skin79 Oriental Gold Plus, and while I loved the coverage, texture, and the lip/cheek tint that came in the cap, it really wasn't the best formula for my skin type (it's more for dry, mature, skin, and I have oily skin). This one has the same consistency and texture but it's made for oily skin. I find that my face stays pretty matte for a few hours with this, and it has REALLY great coverage. Also, it's cheaper than the Oriental Gold Plus. And I don't have to miss the lip/cheek tint because I have a lot of it left over from old tubes. :)The only thing I don't like as much about this BB cream is that it's not as bright as the one I used before. It's a BB cream, so it's pale, but it's slightly darker than most.

I might have gotten a bad batch but mine came out the tube smelling like gasoline. Legit gasoline. Once you apply it the smell goes away but It pu me off too much to use it again so I chugged it =(

i used to use almay's clear complexion foundation, and it wasn't doing that great of a job on my pesky skin. so one night i was doing some research about foundations and tinted moisturizers for comination/acne-prone skin, and i accidentally stumbled upon bb creams. so i researched some more about all the benefits of bb creams and which ones were the best for people with acne-prone skin, and it led me to skin79's website. i used their diagnostic chart to determine which bb cream would be appropriate for my skin needs, and i ended up choosing the intense classic balm. so i came onto amazon, found i, bought it, and began using it the day after i received it in the mail because i was so excited! all i have to say, is that this bb cream is absolutely amazing-- the whole concept of bb cream is to be honest! i think i started using my first tube of this in the latter part of september, and i literally just finished the tube two days ago. that's 3 1/2 months of this fantastic bb cream! now i'm onto my next tube :) it covers nearly everything--though i still do have to use a concealer to cover some of those stubborn blemishes or marks (i love the  Maybelline New York Super Stay 24Hr Concealer, Cream 720, 0.18 Fluid Ounce  because it stays on even during swim practice or while i'm at the beach or gym--through workouts and hot days, anything basically). i use this with the concealer and with elf's mineral powder foundation, as a kind of setting powder/re-coloring powder (i'll explain this later). like previous reviews stated, a little goes a long way. i usually use about 2 pea sized dots to cover my face and maybe half a pea sized dot for my neck if i have forgotten to blend it down... another thing is that i use my fingers to blend this in. i use a patting motion to achieve moderate-full coverage on days where my skin is looking terrible. on days where i don't have to worry about my acne as much, i'll use about 1 pea and a half to cover almost everything, and it will look nice and concealed. i also sometimes use a wedge makeup sponge to blend the bb cream around my nose and eyes, and it looks very natural.there are two minor reasons i gave it 4 out of 5 stars though..... mayyyyyybe 3 reasons:1) it doesn't completely cover all of my blemishes, but then again, i'm a teenage girl with recurring mild-moderate acne... however, it does a good job at masking most blemishes along with most discoloration and redness2) since there is only one shade of this, with no range of skin tones to choose from, like US-based company's new bb cream lines have, it takes a little while to adjust to your proper skin tone (maybe 10-20 minutes tops). i knew this before i bought it the first time, and i didn't care really because i figured i could just put elf's mineral foundation on top to try and match my correct color of mineral foundation to my skin tone. this method has been working for me so far, but i just wish i could put the bb cream on along with concealer and then go, you know what i mean? it would just save a little time in the morning and i wouldn't have to take as long to get ready.. but oh well, you can't have it all i guessand 3) (this really isn't that big of a deal though concerning how the cream works) i love this so much, i wish i could just drive over to target or rite aid and pick it up like most other drugstore foundations. i wish i didn't have to order it online and pay shipping and handling and then wait another week or so for it to arrive. it kind of sucks having to wait, but then again it's always fun receiving a package in the mail-- even if you knew it was already coming :)another test this bb cream is going to have to stand up to is swim season... i'm on my HS swim team and practices are going to be starting in february, and we'll see how it stands up to being worn throughout the day and then being worn in a chlorinated pool for 2-3 hours haha. hopefully it will stay on and not wash off-- but i guess anything can happen with makeup and water :P which reminds me, this stuff is relatively easy to get off with a makeup removing wipe. i use target's up and up brand of makeup removing wipes and then wash my face like i normally would and everything comes off. so if you're having trouble with removing this, i suggest just going out and getting some makeup remover wipes and then using them before your normal skin care regiment.overall, this bb cream by skin79 is amazing, and i hope they never discontinue the intense classic formulation or change the formula-- i will continue buying this due to its outstanding performance, incredible value, reliability, and affordabilityi hope this review helps make your decision easier if you're on the fence about this product-- at least give it a shot! you might be pleasantly surprised, especially if you're willing to put in a little extra effort to match your shade with a powder foundation :)

Seriously. I have struggled with agressive acne since puberty. My dermatologist and I have been around the merry go round many times. I've been using this product for a month, only a few pimples have appeared during this time, my old scars are all almost gone. When I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror and almost hesitate to put on make up now, my face looks even, it glows, redness is gone! The coverage is strong, at the level of pancake make-up. This is typical BB cream, it goes on grey but oxidizes and blends right in. I look dewy fresh. I am sold for life.

I had previously used the Skin 79 Super plus BB cream and liked it but found that my forehead got sort of greasy by the end of the day and the coverage wore off after a couple of hours. I have combination skin and am very pale so finding a color match is always difficult for me with any makeup. The first time I used this my husband even commented and said how even my skin looked. It stayed all day and my forehead didn't get greasy. I actually purchased this and Skinceuticals Blemish + Age defense b/c my skin was breaking out this month. This BB cream evened out my skin and nicely covered most of my breakouts and scarring. I used Bare minerals concealer and touch up veil to finish. It looked and felt like almost no make up at all. Love it and I will keep buying this!

Es una bb cream buenísima, llevo años utilizándola como base de maquillaje ya que es muy cubriente y duradera, la complemento con polvos un poco más oscuros ya que es clara. Me encanta porque unifica el tono y deja la piel Preciosa.

Jedesmal wenn ich diese BB Cream trage bekomme ich Komplimente, was für eine tolle Haut ich habe und werde ständig 5 Jahre jünger geschätzt. Dass mich Rötungen, großen Poren und Unreinheiten regelmäßig in den Wahnsinn treiben ahnt dank dieser BB Cream keiner. Kommentare wie: "Hä? Du trägst BB Cream auf der Haut, was benutzt du denn? Sieht man gar nicht!" Sind genau das was man hören will. Ich habe sehr helle Haut der Ton passt super. Lässt sich leicht verblenden und auch super nachlegen, wenn der Tag lang ist und man spürt nichts auf der Haut. Mit Lichtschuttfaktor 35 brauch ich mich auch nicht mehr länger mit irgendwelchen schmierigen, klebenden Sonnencremes abquälen. Die BB Cream pflegt und schützt bombastisch bei samtig, semi-mattem Finish. Mein heiliger Gral ohne den ich das Haus nicht mehr verlasse. :D

Este producto lo utilizo desde hace un montón de años. Es una bbcream para mi perfecta. Es bastante cubrirme pero a la vez el resultado es muy natural. Es bastante pálido por lo que para subir el tono lo combino con el Súper beblesh balm bronce.No se que le ha pasado a Skin79 en España, que no hay forma de hacerse con sus productos.Por casualidad, me he hecho con ellos mediante Amazon. Espero poder conseguir estos productos en el futuro. He probado otras marcas y no me convencen nada.
