Kameria Baby Face Anti-Acne & Pore Tightening BB Cream
I have heard some raves about this BB Cream before it was made available in Singapore and decided to finally try it when I saw it at Sasa a couple of weeks ago.
*this BB Cream is available at Sasa, John Little and now Watsons.
Though all BB Creams are formulated to target acne prone skin (thus the name, Blemish Balm Cream), but when it specifically mention that it is anti-acne and pore tightening properties, it is quite surprizing why I have only bought it now specially since I have acne prone skin and I am always looking out for pore tightening products.
Seems like this do have quite a few flowers in its formulation. And I suppose the Salicylic Acid (5 ingredient from the bottom) in the formulation targets and combats acne, thus the Anti-Acne claim. But it is the last 5th ingredient which makes the % pretty low. Better than nothing I suppose?
It retails for S$28.90 at all 3 locations and I should not have bought it from Sasa as there wasn't a sale. I could have gain points if I bought it from Watsons or John Little! I blame the impulsive shopper in me. HAHA

Other Comments: The texture of this BB Cream is a cross between a normal creamy foundation and a water drop BB Cream where the BB Cream melts into a liquid (with water droplets) upon blending it on your skin. As such, it does provide ample moisture to the skin. A little too much for my oily skin though. I had high expectations of this BB Cream because of the anti-acne and pore tightening properties but I forgot that not only oily skin is prone to acne with enlarged pores. It could happen to dry and normal skin too. I had to use my HG pressed powder, Maybelline Dream Matte Powder or my HG loose powder, Makeup Forever Super Matte Loose Powder to keep the oilies at bay. I really want to like this BB Cream but unless you know how to keep the oilies at bay, I would only recommend this for normal to combination skin. For drier skin types, you might just want to moisturize your face prior using this BB Cream and skip the powder. As for now, the only Anti-Acne BB Cream that works really well for my skin is the Metholatum ACNES Anti-Acne BB Cream.
