Dr Jart + BB Creams are held in high esteem in their home country of Korea
so when they hit the UK shores they caused quite a buzz and for a while there was no escaping
the reviews and general chit chit about the newest BB cream on the UK market.
The Dr Jart + BB Creams come in four variants Water Fuse, Regenerating, Platinum
and Premium all of which contain SPF's and are targeted at specific skin types.
I have been testing out the Water Fuse variation which is the option targeted at oily/combination skin types,
it is oil free, has an SPF 25and aims to control excess oil production while evening out the skin tone.
The first thing you will notice when you test any Dr Jart + BB Cream is the consistency and texture,
it's thick and creamy, super hydrating yet provides a decent amount of coverage.
As this is an Asian formula I did find the one shade suits all a little too light for my skin tone,
it tends to wash me out with the grey tone and gives the impression of being ill.
However that is my skin tone to fault on most light skin tones this will work wonderfully so
and blend out to match your skin tone but if you are tanned/medium skin toned or have dark skin
sadly this is one you will have to skip which is a shame as the formula is great!
cream and a high end cream based foundation - it does feel really luxurious and despite being fairly thick it
applies with ease and feels pretty much weightless on the skin.
Once applied I would say it covers in the same way a mid coverage foundation does,
it brightens and evens out the skin tone but you may find you need a little extra coverage in troublesome areas but truthfully it covers rather well without masking the skin with a soft dewy finish.
I did not find it to settle into my enlarged pores and I would imagine it to behave in the same way
as far as fine lines are concerned.
Truthfully I did not find this to help at all with the excess oil my face often produces (lovely image right there)
but it didn't add to the problem either so all is not a loss.
It does wear really well and showed no signs of faltering after a good 8 hours but
I would say the oiliness set in around the 5 hour mark but with a quick dust of powder it is easily sorted.

Have you tried the Garnier oil-free BB cream yet? I'd like to know what you think - it comes in 2 shades and is half the price of the Dr Jart one.
ReplyDeleteNot yet, I've tried to pick it up and no-where local has it. Actually that is a lie one Boots does but they only have the tester no actual product so it's useless :( once I source one I will review it and let you know how they compare :)
DeleteI want! Must add to my wish list of things to buy after my shopping ban!
ReplyDeleteLx
Good luck with the shopping ban :)
DeleteAwww, one of my favourites BB Creams :3
ReplyDeleteI can see why :)
DeleteMmm it looks quite thick for a BB Cream! I'm tempted to try though x
ReplyDeleteIt is but it is lovely :)
DeleteThis looks so good. I think 50mls is quite generous too! I have fair skin so this might be a good fit for me!
ReplyDeleteYou are right as most are around the 30ml mark, if you have pale skin it really is a good BB cream and they have four variations which is great!
DeleteAhh i really want this bb cream - i swatched it in boots the other day and the feel and finish was really nice - i just wish they would cater for darker skin types! :(
ReplyDeleteGreat post hun xxx
I feel your pain, on the back of my arm it looks okay because that is a paler part of my body but once on I look so odd haha! Hopefully more BB brands will cater to the mid-deep skin tones eventually :)
DeleteHave you seen Sleek's offering?
did you apply moisturiser before putting this on? i never know if i should or not, because bb creams are technically skincare...?! xx
ReplyDeleteI don't as my skin is oily and would go crazy with all the extra moisture.
DeleteI really think it depends on the BB cream and your skin type, if you have dry skin then I'd say yes but most could skip the moisturiser without any problems :)
I love BB cream concept, I haven´t try this one but it looks great! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYay! An asian BB in your stash! :P
ReplyDeleteI know this brand, but haven't tried it as I normally search for a SPF40 or SPF50, less SPF only in winter :)
Many of them offer a 20ml tube or a 40-50-60ml size.
Finding them in ebay is easier and cheaper ;)
Thanks for the review ;)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this BB cream, it's the first I've liked! I admit though, it doesn't help with oiliness x
