The product is a moisturizer, sun cream, foundation, concealer, and anti-aging cream in one. It also prevents break outs from acne. For women on the go who do not want to spend their time on applying makeup, this product is highly recommended.

The active ingredients usually vary according to the manufacturer but there are some common ingredients among them.

Arbutin
Arbutin is a hydroquinone that holds back the formation of melanin, causing the skin to lighten. This is recommended for people with marks from acne that has healed and dark spots. It may cause the skin to peel off and you would need sun creams to prevent UV rays from harming the skin which is made sensitive by this chemical. However, BB creams have sun protection factor, so you would not need to buy a separate sun cream.

Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is an excellent moisturizer, since it does not disperse like water-based moisturizers, providing your skin with moisture throughout the day. Moisturizing the skin helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which are very visible signs of aging. Jojoba oil is not only good for the skin. Some products for the hair and lips also contain jojoba oil.

Aloe vera
Aloe vera helps in increasing the rate of wound healing which is very helpful for people with pimples. It also has antibacterial properties and is considered not toxic. Since most acnes are caused by bacteria, having aloe vera in your skin care product can help you reduce the appearance of acne, leaving your skin looking clean.

Coenzyme Q10
This has antioxidant properties which fights the signs of aging. Free radicals are present in the environment and they are the ones responsible for making the skin lose its elasticity. When the skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles appear. Coenzyme Q10 prevents damage to the skin, leaving it wrinkle-free.

The drawback on these products is that the only ones available in the market nowadays are for the fair-skinned. The product is usually available in one color, so others find it either too dark or too white for their skin type. However, there are products which can suit all skin types since the color adapts to that of the skin after a short while. Choose the BB cream which suits your skin tone so you would not look pale instead of glowing. With all these benefits that you can get from a single tube, try BB creams and see if it works for you.
