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.No 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.
You 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.
