Mizon BB Cream

Mizon BB Cream: MIZON Snail Repair Blemish Balm, Multifunctional BB Cream with Snail Mucus Filtrate, Skin Care and Makeup Coverage, Strenghtens Skin Elasticity, Improves Fine Wrinkles

I love the Mizon snail creamy facial wash and have used that religiously for years. As I get older, the melasma I developed when I was pregnant has started to fade and I no longer need full-coverage foundation, but I still need some coverage to even my skin tone out and definitely need the sunscreen!

I’ve used many different BB or CC creams, and my favorite is probably the erborian but it does not contain nearly enough SPF. After that is probably the IT Cosmetics but I think I like this better than both of those. I’ve only been using it for a couple of days but I’m impressed. It’s a light product that blends very naturally into my skin to provide me with that even skin tone and covered a lot more than most bb creams without feeling or looking like you’re heavily covered!

I can’t stand it when companies don’t add a high spf to a bb cream because it renders it useless in my opinion. I have no issue applying SPF before I put on a full face of makeup. For the days that I don’t need a full face though, it’s much easier to just grab a product that has it because it saves me both the time and hassle from having to apply it separately. I greatly appreciate the SPF 50 and not some useless number like SPF 10 because I’d may as well be wearing none at all.

The only complaint I have (and it’s kind of a big one!) is that the bottle I got, which I purchased new, is about ~35% empty. I know lots of companies don’t use their full packaging and that they’re specifically designed not to, but I had to press the pump down around 50 or so times before I got any product out. By the time all the empty air got pushed out and finally released some actual product, the bottle was 1/3 empty. Perhaps I got a faulty pump, but to have to continue to pump empty air until it deflated enough to finally release some product, makes it seem even more wasteful. Rather than purchasing 1.76 ounces, it’s more like 1.0 oz of product you’re left with.

When I purchase another bottle, I will update if I don’t experience the same thing with it. It’s not enough to stop me from buying it again, so when I do, I’ll gladly update my review to reflect the fact that it was potentially just a fluke with this first specific tube I purchased and not something that most would experience regularly when using this. If that’s the case, it’d be 5 stars. Short of that, I really love it and hope I just had a lemon of a bottle!

TL; DR: Love the full coverage and the high SPF, but the actual product in the bottle is more around an ounce than the 1.76 oz that you’re thinking you’re purchasing. Not enough of an issue to stop me from buying again.
