L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream with SPF 20, 5-in-1 Skin Tint with Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E, Lightweight Hydrating Formula Adapts to Skin Tone for a Natural Glowy Finish, 30 ml, Shade: 02 Light

This stuff is amazing like liquid gold if you have a red complexion like I do. I’m of an age now where my skin is aging and I just couldn’t find the right foundation. I only wear foundation to cover my redness. Oh my god! You only need a small amount it’s so silky smooth covers all my redness with one thin layer and makes my face look so fresh and not claggy like it did with foundation. I 100% recommend the CC cream to anyone! It really does work.

This is a review for both the BB and CC under this listing as I've bought both and using both. I originally got the CC version as I'm very pale and red, acne prone. The CC cream is excellent at covering redness, I just wore it instead of foundation and weirdly people commented there was something different about me and I looked well? 🤣 Anyway, although it covered the redness I personally thought it came up a little too orange around the jawline but as it's the best CC cream I've come across I didn't want to stop using it altogether. This is when I decided to get the light 02 BB cream shade. I was skeptical about the shade as I have literally tried every BB cream out there in my quest to stop wearing heavy foundation (I have to wear some form of tinted cream because my face is , as mentioned above, acne prone and red and blotchy, otherwise I'd love to wear nothing). Every one I've tried made me look like an oompa loompa. This is the first one that doesn't! It comes out white and then warms. I use a different blend sponge with both the CC cream and BB cream and now what I do, after my serum and suncream, is add the CC cream first on the red areas like my cheeks, around my nose, and any spots on my chin. Then I add a small splodge of the BB cream on my forehead , cheeks and jaw, middle of nose and chin. Then I blend it all in and the combination of them both looks amazing and now I don't have the orangy look around the jawline as I just use the BB cream on the jawline. The combination is honestly the best thing I've come across and I haven't picked up my foundation in like a month now. I will continue to use the BB cream and CC cream together. I appreciate some say it's not light, don't let that put you off though. I'm very pale, I've always chosen like Ivory in most foundation shades if that helps, then maybe the next one up during summer months. It's a case of just trying it with BB creams. One day you'll find the right one!

I really like that it's so soft and easy to apply. Just what it says it does. Covers well, and great colour.

I buy this cream second time , you skin looks natural, easy to use, just shame all this color transfer on to cloth and hard to wash off. Need to be carefully what you wear.

I have sensitive skin (along with occasional eczema dry patches) with an oily T-zone and larger pores on my cheeks along with some redness on my cheeks- I’ve really got it all going for me 😂 So this product has it’s work cut out!! Firstly, I was a little surprised with how small the tube is, 30ml (I mean it’s written on the description but for some reason it didn’t sink in), the product I had been using prior to this purchase requires less cream per use and is 50ml in size whilst it’s considered a slightly more premium brand and is more expensive to buy, it actually works out better value for money than this product. The green cream is strange, but turns skin toned quickly and is a nice smooth texture, the coverage is good, it isn’t full cover but definitely takes some of the redness away. It seems to work with my other daily products to keep oiliness away for the whole day. The colour is too warm for my cooler skin tone, other reviews have recommended mixing with a cooler shade to work with my skin, which I would totally do if I was sticking with the product. The other issue is with my ‘challenging’ skin is that it’s not very forgiving. With and without a primer it seems to sit in pores and give me a lively polkadot effect, even in pores I’ve never noticed before. It even highlights dry patches, with a nice snake skin effect which my other product doesn’t do. It has a small nozzle head which means you can easily control how much product you get out and is easy to apply. The bottle is quite sleek and easy to throw into a small bath bag when travelling.

Absolutely brilliant on mature skin. Gives a fresh finish bur still with good coverage. Good value for money. The colour match is great no more dodgy colours.

Keep going back to this as a foundation. It's very light and doesn't cake or crease. I'm 54 and still think it's the best option for my skin.

Slightly confusing labelling. I'd requested shade no.4. On arrival the tube said medium, but a label around the tube said light. However upon application the cream had a white colour with no shading. I was dubious, but the cream adapted to my skin colour & I'm happy with the results.
