Introduction
Blemish Balm aka BB cream has been the hottest craze in Asia (Korea specifically) for quite some time now. But what exactly is it? To put it simply - BB cream is a makeup touted with skincare properties. That being said, double cleansing is required, if not, you will experience clogged pores and pimples like anyone else.
"It's a 4 in 1 multifunctional cream - soothes, moisturizes, protects and covers blemishes."
The most popular brand of BB Cream in Korea is Hanskin. You may see some products spelling “blemish” incorrectly and think that Korean companies can’t spell. Well…. You're wrong! :D The word "blemish" has been copyrighted by a Korean company.
QUOTE (acid2burn) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
BB Cream is somewhat a makeup product with skincare properties. As mentioned, its was initially introduced to patients who went for cosmetic surgery but still wanted to look good post surgery while in recovery. So it has more soothing/healing properties (varies from brand to brand) compared to our normal foundation. Its still best applied with moisturizer and sunblock. Different brands of BB cream has different textures , coverage and blendability.

1. Do BB creams come in different shades like foundations?
BB creams generally come in "one" shade, they are meant to "sink/seep" into your skin to match your skin tone. However, they do vary in shade depending on the company that produces them. The shades further vary among the different products that the company produces. There are a few companies who do produce two (2) different shades for their BB creams such as Skinfood (TSF or SF) and Missha.
2. What's the difference between Shade #1 and Shade #2 (in SF and Missha)?
Shade #1 is fairer and has yellow undertones. Shade #2 (Natural) is slightly darker and more of pinkish undertones. (P.S: I am NC20/25 and I used to use #1) - by: deppstar
It's best to choose according to your skin undertone rather than your skin tone because you will look colour-washed after application.
What is a skin "undertone"? How do I know what skin undertone I have?
Read me | Watch me
related topic: what skin tone am i? - read pbsadhaka's post towards the bottom of the page
3. Can BB cream get rid of pimples, scars and improve my skin?
"It can't be said that all BB Creams help with blemishes and/or acne because each BB Cream has different ingredients and properties (whitening, wrinkle, etc). Some people have said that they break out less after using BB Cream, but others have broken out because of using BB Cream so it all depends on the person. It may be that this product is just better than the one you're currently using, so you break out less. Or whatever is in the BB Cream might not be suitable for your skin, so you'll break out. Even those BB Creams that say "whitening" (for acne scars and whatnot), might not be strong enough to whiten your skin (in particular).
"...it is supposed to contain properties that help heal your blemishes and the pigmentation of it covers up scarring and stuff. But it is NOT a treatment of any sort for any kind of acne. In fact, if you have active acne, I recommend that you don't try this....
I've read, a lot of people seem to be under the mistaken impression that this is some kind of acne/blemish treatment and don't wash it off properly or wear it to sleep when it is actually a makeup cosmetic product. It is probably better for you skin than typical foundations and concealers, but it might irritate your acne even further." - nanshi
It is supposed to help with scarring from blemishes; it's original creation was to soothe/heal and cover skin after they went through intense chemical peels or laser treatments.
If you're using BB Cream solely for the purpose of getting rid of blemishes/acne, I wouldn't set my hopes too high. Using these BB Creams are like any other product...It's all trial and error, hit and miss!" -by babyleese
"You may not be able to whiten and get rid of the spots, but I've learned that before you concentrate on the APPEARANCE of your skin, the texture of your skin is a lot more important: It's easy to cover up things like a mole here or a scar there, but if your skin is bumpy it's bumpy, no BB cream can make the bumps go away. If your skin is dry and flaking off, no BB cream is going to be able to smooth that out, you need MOISTURIZER not BB CREAM." -by mikanpuriname
4. How do I wear BB Cream? Can I wear it alone?
"BB Cream is NOT a skin treatment and should NOT replace your usual moisturizer or sunscreen.
A lot of people seem to think that BB Cream really is just a healing balm, but it is actually a makeup product. So you should treat it as such. I think it is just a tinted moisturizer -- maybe with more coverage? -- that contains certain ingredients that makes it heal your skin faster and help clear up blemishes and scars and such. " - nanshi
"It's not advisable to apply BB cream alone. BB cream is still considered as a makeup product with skincare properties . You shouldn't apply it directly to your face. Apply your normal skincare routine first - i.e. moisturiser.
for better coverage use pressed or loose powder over the bb cream." - by deppstar
Depending on whether you want to start wearing makeup or not, some bb cream doesn't cover so well. If you wanna cover up your acne, use concealer. The good thing about bb cream is; it has healing properties, so it makes ur acne scars lighter though some may cause you to have breakouts. It depends on the person. - by izawa
5. I was wondering if BB Cream will affect your skin (in a bad way) if u have like pimples ... ._.
"Well of course its better to wear nothing at all (no makeup). Bb creams are still consider makeup, though I find it less harsh than foundations. After I started using makeup&foundation, my skin gotten really bad ~__~ it got really dull. After i switched to bb cream. i felt my skin has improved after using bb cream, its less dull. Though its still not as good as before i started using makeup at all.
If you use foundation normally, i do advice you to try out bb creams. If you do not use makeup at all, or do not have the need for it, then y start now =)? "-izawa
"That largely depends on your skin sensitivity and what it's sensitive to. If you're sensitive to silica or mineral oil, you'll most likely break out. Or if you just have REALLY sensitive skin in general.
As far as your second question, I know that DermaRX seems to have tea tree oil which should help breakouts. Don't rely on it as a treatment though, it doesn't replace good skincare habits." - azncrow7
6. Do you use a sponge, brush, or hands to apply the BB cream? I'm curious which one people uses and what is their experience.
From the replies on soompi, majority of people use their fingers to apply because they don't want to waste BB cream as it is a pricey product. But some do use a foundation brush for a more better and even coverage. Depends on personal preference.
7. Which BB cream contains Mineral Oil/arbutin?
Please note this is not the complete list; if you find one that is not listed please notify me.
BRTC: Perfect Blemish Balm, Perfect Protect Balm, Perfect Soothing
Dodo Club
Missha: Silver tube
Arbutin
Dr. Jart [Black Label]
Dr. Jart [Sliver Label] Rejuvenating
Skin79 Dermax
8. I read that Soompi's highly raved BB cream was BRTC Perfect Blemish Balm - what happened to it?
This product has been discountinued around late 2007.
~Originally we have 3 types of BB Cream depending on skin type under BRTC brand and they are Perfect Recover Balm, Perfect Blemish Balm and White & Wrinkle Repair BB Cream. However, a Korean company registered the word, “blemish” as their trademark and made a clever action that other companies cannot use the word, "blemish".
Thus we do not produce Perfect Blemish Balm any longer but Perfect Recover Balm is the same with Blemish Balm. =D
What I know is Perfect Blemish Balm although same in some areas, they are not exactly the same.
source:Beautiholic's Site
Perfect Blemish Balm has not been replaced with any other new products that BRTC have launched
9. Why is there not a Poll for 'Fave BB cream'? I want to know which BB Cream is the best!
There is no BEST bb cream. everybody reacts differently to bb creams, just like other makeup/moisturizer/ or skincare products. you have to trial and error. what will make your job easier is to look at the ingredient list and check if there are any ingredient in the bb cream that breaks you out.
Everyone has different skin types (oily, dry, normal, acne-prone..etc.). Not to mention skintone (fair, medium, dark..etc.), skin undertone (pink, yellow.. etc.) AND everyone's skin reacts differently to a particular ingredient contained in the product (mineral oil, silicones..etc.). There is also a huge range of BB cream products available and people will not own the all of the same ones. Their vote will then be bias on what they have and best suits their own skin.
10. Dr.Jart had a Silver and Black label - what happened to them and whats the difference between them?
They've simply changed the name to Rejuvenating Blemish Base and Detox Healing Blemish Base. As for the reason behind it, we do not know.
11. Can Men use BB Cream?
Yes, Skin79 has a bbcream made for men.
12. Can you compare 'this' BB Cream to 'that' BBcream?

0 • Insightful Awesome LOLI just ordered the BRTC Gold Caviar and the BRTC Perfect Recover. I figure I'll try them both and buy more ofthe one I like better. So when they arrive I'll have four bbcreams. Hanskin Super Magic, Missha Perfect Cover in shade #21, and the two BRTC's. They're sooooooo cheap here in korea. My hanskin and missha were about 15 each and I'm spending about 40 on the BRTC's together. So might as well get as many as I can while I'm here. I'm gonna buy a few bottles of the bbcream I like the most after I try all four =)

0 • Insightful Awesome LOLI have only tried Liole Beyond the Solution BB cream, but I must say that unless you don't have much of an undertone it would work better with a PINK undertone. I am a yellow undertone and when I tried it on it looked off. You can use a primer/moisturizer underneath that has SPF for sun protection. I actually think a primer/moisturizer helps make it glide and look better on the skin. You can try the powder pact on top, but it might be heavy and you need a LOT of powder to get the specified SPF. Hope I helped. (:

0 • Insightful Awesome LOLHere are the reviews of My BRTC Perfect Recover & Missha M Perfect Cover SPF 42 BB Cream
I've been using BRTC Perfect Recover for about two weeks, but yet seeing any skin improvement. No breakouts so far.
My Skin type: Oily, acne-prone, enlarged pores with some black&whiteheads, no big red zits and some small old acne scars and freckles.
My skin tone: Light and my face always turns red. I'm still not sure if I have yellow or pink undertone.
Texture: Thick, hard to spread with fingers in my opinion. My solution is just to squirt it with an appropriate amount on the back of my hand, rub it with fingers to make sure that cream will stick to my fingers then dap dap dap with a little pressure onto the skin (no rubbing on face, only pressing the fingers on skin though) I did it more gentle than the lady in video below.

Coverage: Sheer to medium (in case you layer it)
Tone: Light shade similar to Missha M Perfect Cover SPF 42 Shade #21, but more pinkish, matte finish.
Oil-Control: Extremely Good, it would last up to 6-8 hours for me without blotting. It is not suitable for someone who has normal or dry skin as it might dry up the skin dramatically if you don't put enough moisturizer. Even me oily skin, I still have to put good moisturizer on my face. Last week, I used the very light moisturizer and I noticed that I had a flakey skin. Not anymore after changing to another kind of moisturizer.
Overall: This is the best to control shine in my opinion despite its thickness, I still in love with this bb cream. It gives me matte all day long.
Missha M Pefect Cover SPF 42 shade #21 = about 1 week usage.
Texture: Better than BRTC Perfect Recover, easier to blend but again I like to rub the cream on my hand first as I mentioned above.
Tone: Light a little yellowish. My mom has a bit darker skin than mine, once she put it on, her face looked obviously grayish white. I believe this shade is suitable for NC15-25. (a little lighter than BRTC Perfect Recover but more yellowish)
Coverage: Medium, dewy finish. Again the amount I used was as little as BRTC but it had better coverage. If I layer it too much, it will look so grayish white (same problem with BRTC). Anyway, I like its coverage.
Oil-Control: Poor for me as my face looked so shiny within an hour. Not sure if it's called dewy or what but I had to blot after 3 hours with soft tissue. I saw it absorbed lot of oil so I think this is not dewiness but oiliness greasiness instead!! I even applied a mattifying moisturizer before this bb cream but it didn't help at all. Let me try it again with another brand of mattifier.
Overall: Not impressive with the oil-control but love its coverage. I might use this bb cream in winter.
Recently, I purchased 6 more BB Cream (Skin79 DermaRX, Coogi Flowertox, Missha M Watery, Dr. Jart Silver, Lioele, Dr. G Brightening Balm). I will give you more reviews later. Thanks for spending your time reading my post. I might sell the samples but still thinking as I don't have any small containers for those at all.
