Review: Skin79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB Cream

By Herugliness
Hello! ~ This is a review of the Skin79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB Cream. Just like my other Skin79 BB Creams this is a 15g miniature size version. This product is also available in 40g bottle and a 25g tube. This BB Cream has a LSF25 PA++ sun protection, whitening effect and wrinkle prevention. I don't care much for the whitening effect, because having a face lighter than the rest of your skin is just annoying, and the whitening effect of BB Creams usually comes from Arbutin, which is a skin-lightening agent suspected to cause cancer. Apparently the doses in BB Creams are so small that they are considered harmless, though, since I do not welcome a whitening effect anyway it seems to be pointless to expose myself to it. Many people like the whitening effect of BB Creams, but for me it is always just a negative aspect of a product. Sun protection and wrinkle care is always welcomed though.Review: Skin79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB CreamReview: Skin79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB CreamNo matter how many skin care agents a BB Cream has, the most important thing to me is always the texture-coverage ratio and oil control. So far all Skin79 BB Creams I have tried had a poor oil control, made my face dewy (some people like this, I don't), shiny and sometimes even sticky and had a poor coverage while feeling pretty bad on my face. They also usually have a weird grayish tone that makes your face appear sickly. Skin79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB Cream is alright, though I feel like it also ha s a slightly grayish undertone. 
Review: Skin79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB CreamYou can already see on the swatch that it is rather shiny. If you like this dewy look this might not be too bad for you, I am not too fond of it. Coverage wise it is a bit better than the other Skin79 BB Creams I have tried so far, though, if your skin is as bad as mine, you still need a concealer beneath and a powder with coverage above. Otherwise the BB Cream will only cause a very minima difference in your skin's appearance. The oil control is also not good, my skin looks shiny just an hour after using it already, even though I put matting powder on top. However, if I compare it to the other Skin79 BB Creams I have tried, then this is probably the best of them regarding coverage and oil-control.So, while I think it is not as catastrophic as some other Skin79 BB Creams, it's most certainly not my cup of tea. I do not like the dewy finish at all and the coverage is really sheer. If you like a dewy finish and have okay skin to begin with this might be a product worth trying out, otherwise I advice to stay away from it.
