Is it matt? Find out bellow!

Hello Loves! So today I want to share with you all a very in-depth review on the Innisfree No Sebum BB Cream. This is a video review so make sure you watch the video to see how it performs throughout the day!

I hope you enjoyed the review! Here is a little write up and additional info on the BB Cream.

I purchased the BB cream in shade #2 here in South Korea from the Innisfree store. The BB cream costs exactly 18,000 won which is $17.58 USD. This price is around the same if you were to buy a Revlon foundation, BB or CC cream.

You get 40 ml of BB cream which is an average amount. This Koream BB cream claims to be:

Long Lasting

Oil Control

Non Darkening

Effective Coverage

It also contains

Jeju Mineral Powder

Jeju Green Tea

4 Free system *Innisfree free of harsh ingredients system*

Innifree No Sebum BB Cream Description:

*The naturally derived mineral sebum controlling powder absorbs excessive sebum on skin surface, helping to present a non-greasy, soft, and powdery complexion all day long.*

By the claims of this product and the description, you would feel that this BB cream would provide a matte finish to the skin that would last all day. My personal skin type falls into the combination zone, meaning I can be oily in some areas and dry in others. When applied to the skin, the BB cream instantly absorbs excess oils on the skins surface while still leaving a semi dewy look to the skin. It however does not provide a matte look. A dewy complexion is very popular here in South Korea rather then matte skin. To achieve a matte look, this BB cream should be set with a matte powder or the Innisfree mineral powder to get the most effectiveness from the BB cream.

As for oil control throughout the day, this BB Cream did not hold up. I had a soft healthy look to my skin for around 3 hours. After that my oils started to show through. I tested this BB cream for almost 8 hrs. By the end of my day my skin was looking very oily.

Coverage wise, this BB cream was excellent! It was very buildable and could easy be applied with a sponge to have a light coverage all the way to a medium coverage. This BB cream however was not able to achieve a heavy full coverage effect. If you are someone who struggles with a lot of acne, you will still need a concealer for tougher to hide areas of concern. Over the 8 hrs, this BB cream help up perfectly. My coverage did not fade anywhere over time.

For people with sensitive skin, I personally did not experience any level of irritation from this BB cream. I personally quite sensitive skin and can feel itchy on the face or react with hives from certain products. This BB cream was the first in a while to not make my skin feel itchy or give me hives or additional pimples!

So my overall opinion?

Pros

Non irritating

Long lasting coverage

SPF 30 PA++

No harsh chemicals

Natural Jeju volcanic island ingredients

Affordable

3 Colour choices 1, 2 or 3

Does not oxidize over time

Cons

Not long lasting oil control

Grabs to dry skin

Needs to be set with a matte powder.

Overall this BB cream is very good for its price and I am very happy with it! If you don’t have very oily skin, then this product is great! If you aren’t someone who loves a matte look then this is a great bb cream to control your oils and give you great coverage for a decent portion of your day. If you are planning on making this BB cream last a full day, you will need to set it with a powder and possible tough up half way through your day. If you have dry skin this is NOT a product for you. This BB cream does tend to cling to dry patches of skin making them show more. However it is great for hiding enlarged pores! If you are a normal skin type this is a great BB cream to consider using especially if you tend to have sensitive or even acne prone skin.

I give this BB cream 3 stars. It honestly would be a 5 star cream for me but the fact that is doesn’t hold up to good with its main function, oil control makes it lose 2 stars.

I hope this review was helpful to some of you who have been interested in this Innisfree BB Cream!
