Skin 79 Triple Function (PINK) BB Cream : Review

It's time for the Skin 79 Triple Function (Pink) BB Cream Review!!!

For more coverage, instead of using the Skin 79's VIP GOLD choose this BB cream since it covers dark spots or dark scars really well. I can't say that it really covers like a concealer but this product does cover most of my unwanted acne spots. In my opinion if you don't want to use foundation for pictures, this one could be a great alternative. Even though it has SPF content, it does not make your face shine with flash and it has a semi-matte finish.

The Packaging (BOX)
**didn't take shots on all sides since i don't even understand korean writings..^^ **

REVIEW:

Coverage: Medium
Great For: Normal / Combination Skin 
Finish: Semi - Matte

What I love about this product:
  • Easy to apply!I use my clean hands in applying the product all over my face (make sure you wash your hands before touching your face!)
  • Blends well on to my skin and adapts to my skin tone. Has a gray cast at first but after it oxidizes, it would adjust it's color onto my skin.
  • Gives me a semi-matte finish. Great for days which you have dark acne scar / spots but not for a huge zit. It can't cover red, bumpy acne / blemishes (if you have too much acne, concealer can do that job).
  • Could add another layer of it to darker spots to make it invisible (somewhat works like concealer but not to a point that it covers all imperfections)
  • It does not get too oily during the middle of the day and it stays on all day long. 
  • You could set it with powder if you want to have a medium - heavy coverage. It would not feel cakey.
  • Looks great even in flash photos. Does not give you shiny looking skin compared to other BB creams with SPF.
  • Did not give me allergic reactions or any acne problems.
  • Has SPF 25 PA++ which protects my skin from the harsh sun
  • It has a whitening and wrinkle improvement properties...which i don't really need but loving it!^^
  • Smells good! Not too strong..
  • It has this air tight pump which dispenses the product really well. It's not getting messy with this type of container! more hygienic in my opinion.
What I don't like:
  • You can't totally know if there's still a lot left on your bottle or you can't really use all of it since it depends of the pump of the bottle. It's not like other BB creams that comes in tubes that if it's quite empty you can cut the tube and use up all of the product before throwing it.
  • It only has one shade so i don't know if it's suitable for darker skin tones. I've read that it could oxidize and adapt to one's skin tone but haven't tried it to someone who has darker skin yet.

Compared to the SKIN 79 VIP GOLD BB Cream, Triple function (Pink) is...
  • heavier coverage
  • best to use during summer time
  • not that creamy
  • not that moisturizing / hydrating. At the end of the day and after removing makeup, make sure to moisturize your skin since this is not like the vip gold collection that leaves your skin smooth and soft after the end of the day.
Will I re-purchase this again? Probably Yes! I can finish my bottle and if they still sell it during those time. I'm not a foundation person, so if BB cream can do the work I would totally pick BB cream over it!

Price: Got mine from Pink Gelee in Amazon for $14.48 USD

Rating: ❤❤❤❤❤ (5/5)
Here's the before and after picture : See the picture on the left - that's me without the BB cream and my forehead and chin still has visible blemishes. While on the after picture - that's me with the Skin 79's Triple Function (PINK) BB cream on me. The scars were not visible and my skin looks brighter without using any other makeup like concealer or highlighter. **Pictures were taken with flash** See the after picture, it still looks great in flash photos even if it contains SPF.

  2. What a great review! the product looks amazing on your skin, but I have the feeling you don't have much need for a really full cover foundation (like the one I use, MAC pro longwear). Nevertheless, I think I might look into this for those rare good skin days:)

  6. Thanks for the review, good to know it only comes in one shade :( That's why I appreciate american brand BB creams a little more for their variety in skin tone bb creams. It works pretty well for you but most Asian brand BB creams look like they have such a grey-ish cast.
