Physician's Formula Super BB Cream Review/Swatches

Oooh... Shiny



This BB cream promises to do a lot on the box, and it mostly fulfills its promises. It comes in a little squeeze tube that must be shaken before application.


The Good:
  • Spf 30
  • Hypoallergenic
  • Fragrance free (Kinda smells chemically/sunscreeny)
  • Paraben free (yaay)
  • Gluten free
  • Non-comedogenic (yes!)
  • Blurs imperfections
  • Mostly covers some light scarring/acne
  • Evens out skintone after application
  • Moisturizing
The Bad:
            • Feels somewhat oily after application
            • Not that good at controlling oil (I have acne-prone oily skin.. EEUGH)
            • More like tinted moisturizer than BB cream, but better than most of the other US BB creams out there
            • Gets separated in tube, you have to shake it up each time
            • Only 2 colors light/medium (the one I have) and medium/deep (which doesn't seem that dark) 


            Now for the ingredients and hand and face swatches...


            Prepare yourself... for a not so good looking picture...

            NO MAKEUP... ew
            Dat expression..*sadlolol Not Looking too good... Pimples and scars and dark circles... YUM


            After applying le cream... Better skintone, scars and acne slightly covered up. (Facial expression changes too. XD)

            The color is kinda pink for my yellow undertones, but not too obvious in real life. 
            Not so scary..

            After 4 hours, we begin to slightly get oily... smh

            But the face is still more even in terms of coloration, some of the BB cream has faded a bit.
            Let the oils emerge




            Le ingredients
            Kinda too pink for me. Don't worry.. It adjusts slightly
            Not quite blended. Creamy consistency.
            Fully Blended
            Would I repurchase? Probably not, as the Asian BB creams still have my heart... XD
            My current favorite one is the Lioele Dollish Veil BB cream in Gorgeous Purple, excellent at mattifying skin.

                Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide.
                Not sure what percent, as it doesn't say on the box.

                It is SPF 30~ Feel free to comment again if you have any other questions!
