Quick Take: heaven on the face
I love this bb cream. I actually tried a sample out from an old Birchbox, & I was in love ever since. It makes my skin look flawless without all the added foundations/make up. This product doesn't make me break out. It also has SPF which is GREAT.

I. LOVE. THIS. STUFF.
-05.20.13
Like most, I am not a fine of BB Creams because of the light coverage but I hate using foundation in the summer. I got this as a sample in my Birchbox and I love it so much. It feels super light weight while providing AMAZING coverage. Even though it only comes in one shade, the color is perfect for my skin tone. I can wait to go to my nearest sephora and purchase this in full size. It will be PERFECT for the summer.

I simply love this stuff, its great for hot summers in Nor Cal where my makeup has a tendency to melt right off. And sunscreen! I hate putting on most sunscreens, they always make me break out. This stuff doesn't, it doesn't even smell like it has sunscreen to me. It feels great going on, like others said its like pure moisture. Very cooling. It evens out the redness I have on my face which is exactly what I wanted and doesn't cake up on the drier spots I have on my face. I was worried the first time I saw this as it looks kinda dark and I have very fair skin but it blends right in, not nearly as dark as it seemed out of the tube. The only thing I dislike is the tube itself. When barely squeezed it will sometimes forcefully shoot out little blobs making a mess.

I really enjoy this BB Cream for the most part. It goes on smooth with barely any sunscreen scent, which is a huge plus in my book. The coloring is great for me, but I am on the fairer side. The only downside is one days when my skin is drier than normal I do have to put on moisturizer underneath.

Quick Take: amazingly hydrating
I am not a fan of BB creams due to their lack of coverage and I have never been a fan of writing reviews. Having said that, I must say that I am totally sold on Dr Jart+ BB cream...so much so that I had to write this review. I love the feeling of hydration immediately upon application. I love that it hides my large pores and minimizes the sun spots on my face. It is light enough to wear during the summer months without applying an additional foundation. NO chalky look for me and I have a fair complexion. I am SOLD on this product and will be back for more!!

Awesome BB Cream!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: hydrating, lightweight
I've tried many BB Creams from cheap to high end (Garnier, Loreal, Maybelline, Smashbox, Too Faced and Clinique) and this is by far my favorite. I read reviews before I bought this and many people said they don't like the ashy color it gives...you need to wait a few minutes for it settle into your skin! The color seems to adjust or maybe just soak into your skin, I don't know, but if I wait a few minutes before layering anything on top, the ashiness goes away. I really hate the shinyness and greasy feeling many BB creams have and this doesn't. Feels like MOISTURE. I have very, very sensitive combo/acne-prone skin and this did not make me break out at all. If you're going for a very lightweight formula, or something to layer under your foundation (I use BB Cream instead of primer), I really recommend this.

Improved skin and Nice, Light Coverage
-04.24.13
This was my first go at BB creams and so far I'm loving it. I did notice an improvement in my skin within just a few days, seeing that I wasn' as broken out. The coverage is light, but still enough to mask any imperfections. What I like most about this is that it really works with my very light skin tone but doesn't look yellow because a lot of makeup for fair skin makes me look like I have jaundice (gross). My only complaint is that I find it doesn't really control my oily areas as much as I'd hoped it would as I find myself having to blot througout the day. Besides that, the price is right and the product is strong.

I LOVE THIS STUFF. Why? #1. Easy to apply. #2. Stays fresh HOURS after application. #3. After a few weeks, my skin looked AMAZING. Dark spots diminishing, acne scars noticeably less visible. Im 39 yrs old, with combination skin. Never too oily. Never too dry thanks to this product!

Chalk face
-04.17.13
This would be good for a Halloween party where you would like to go as The Joker. I don't know who could blend this right and the chalky finish was just terrible. When I returned it to Sephora, the sales associate even said that not many people like this one. I just found the REN BB cream and I'm very happy!

The Best BB I have found
-04.14.13
I saw this on a blog via pintrest and decided to give it a try. For me, this is the best BB I have found. We all have different skin, I was acne-prone till my mid 20's. Now 40+ I still have the oily t-zone but dry everywhere else. This product doesn't give me the shiny forehead that most BB's do. It evens out my blotchy redness nicely, I use with a touch of blush and powder to set. Stays all day

Oily but perfect during the first several hours.
-04.14.13
Quick Take: dewy, shiny/oily, light, dangerous for the eye after several hours of wear
It applies on smoothly for me, but I just didn't like the oiliness effect afterwards. By the time it hits mid-evening, my face feels super oily. I think that most people would have to reapply. The reason I say so is because once you leave it on for several hours, it will definitely dig into your eyes (whether due to sweat or just scratching the eye). It really burns and irritates your eyes if you leave it on too long. I've been using this for several months. I just like the dewey effects in the beginning. I wish it could maintain that throughout the day. :(

def. moisturizing
-04.08.13
I like how moisturizing it is, color makes me look a little chalky. I'm a very pale red head, I think I 'm getting by with this, though perhaps it's the poor lighting in my house ;)

Quick Take: drying, washes you out
This was the better of all the BB creams I have ever tried, but it didn't do much in the way of matching your undertones. I have both pink and yellow undertones and this washed me out completely. When I looked at photos of myself with this on, I looked ghostly white. It also felt dry on my skin and accentuated dry spots. Sorry Dr. Jart!

BEST BB Cream
-04.02.13
I've tried almost every BB Cream on the market and this in my opinion is the absolute best. I have acne prone skin and its actually helping keep my blemishes away. I don't like wearing foundation, so this is perfect! If you age oily skin I would suggest not using a moisturizer with this since it already contains one.

I love this product. It is moisturizing, but it doesn't make me oily. The coverage is natural and I hardly ever use concealer anymore. It's worth every penny and has outperformed things I've paid more for.

Good for good skin!
-03.30.13
This product appears to have a strange grey cast when you dispense it from the tube, however, when it is applied to the face, it blends perfectly. I have dry skin, and I use an intense moisturizer everyday under this BB, it gives a nice finish, my bronzer and blush didn't stick in places, basically primed my skin. With concealer, this BB is fab!!! Repurchase for sure!

Quick Take: hydrating, dewy finish
...And I've tried a bunch of them! This one is the hands-down winner. It hydrates my skin and evens it out. Don't get this if you're looking for foundation-like coverage. That's kind of not the point of a BB cream, yet I see that as a complaint on here a lot. Get it if you have decent skin, but want it to look perfect (without looking like you're wearing makeup). Seriously great product!

wonderful - especially if applied right
-03.26.13
I have been desperately searching for a BB cream/foundation/anything that would provide me a dewy (not oily) finish and enough coverage to actually be worth my time - I don't understand why people who are happy with their skin without foundation still look for a product haha (if that was me I would wear a sign to let the world know that I just happen to look this awesome without makeup). Nevertheless, I was iffy about this product when I applied it with my fingers but really really like it now that I've used my cheap-o E.L.F flat powder brush (similar to a stippling brush) to apply it! It actually provides enough coverage to mask a few acne scars and some redness/uneven pigmentation. I really like it, I just have yet to test the longevity.
