Like all BB creams
on the market today, well, the Asian ones that is, after long term use it's
guaranteed that you'll see an improvement in your skins overall texture and
tone. The Jasmine Water offers improvement in the areas of whitening (or
brightening) of the skin (arbutin), the healing of scars and blemishes (zinc
oxide, green tea, almond oil and aloe vera), and also the improvement of existing wrinkles (whatever
that means).
I will admit, I
didn't really like this product the first time I tried it, mainly because of
the scent, a hint of jasmine smooshed under a lot of chemicals pretty much sums
it up. Also, all the other BB creams I had tried previously had lovely scents,
Skin79, Missha, hell, even the freaking snail mucus ones smelt nicer.
Thankfully, I've become more accustomed to the smell because honestly, this
product is too good to dismiss on scent alone. Plus if your are in the market
for a BB cream that offers you a flaw-free, ghostly complexion, then this is the
one for you! But seriously, those of you with darker complexions may want to
stay away from this one because the colour is quite light; light beige
with pink undertones.
I have quite
problematic skin and the Jasmine BB cream offers medium to high coverage that
actually hides your blemishes and redness. It's also incredibly moisturising
and lasts for around 6 to 8 hours before it needs a touch up. This is one of
the few BB creams that I can actually wear just on its own. Unfortunately, you
wouldn't want to put foundation over it anyway. The cream itself it quite thick
and doesn't like to collaborate with anything other than skin. When I applied
foundation on top my skin looked congested and cakey. But this doesn't really
bother me to be honest, the cream does a great job of hiding my blemishes and
redness by itself (as you can see below).

Overall, this is one
of my favourite BB creams, mainly because the coverage is a life saver for me.
It brightens my skin, reduces redness, hides my acne, and moisturises my skin,
and on top of that, it has helped improve my skin in the long run, but give me
ten years and I'll get back to you guys on the wrinkle front.
