This is BB UV which (I research) was marketed for Japan. I bought this in Hong Kong though. I was attracted by the clean white packaging and the high SPF. Since the clear smooth bb cream work pretty good on me, I thought I gave this a try.
I seriously have a love hate relationship with this. Some days, it gave me the most fab flawless looking face, other days way too caked. I guess I have problem with mineral products. Really have mix review about them.
Anyway, like most bb cream, this just come in one shade, which is a little light on my face. Especially now with the scorching sun in this tiny island. I am a bit darker than usual. But this oxidize after awhile. While the color is close to my color, it's too yellow.
I find that this work best under naked face, meaning no moisturizer. I guess it is bad, but it works well for me. Cause I'm always been in a hurry, so this arrangement work pretty well. No break out which is good. The bad thing is I have to wait for it to set on my face, before I can put setting powder. The waiting time varied. I find 10 minutes is just about enough, which is forever when you are late.
I tried all kind of powder, and the one that doesn't make it cakey is the ZA Groovy Smoovy which is a bolting powder. I can use my ZA two-way foundation, as that will help to fix the color back to my tone, but some days it still can look caked plus i no long has the powder.
So ya, mix feelings about this. I cant bear to throw it away. Cause when I try it "one last time", it was good. For just a mere 30mL, it takes forever to finish. I just want it to finish ASAP so I can move on to other foundations. I guess now I have about a week or more of use before I can say farewell.
