Anyeong~

Today I will review Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream. I bought this because it is multi function. Can be used as sunscreen and it is also BB Cream. This is perfect when I just need a quick fix during my day routine. Besides it's helps to correct skin tone, perfect solution for me!

Ingredients analysis from Cosdna indicated that mostly safe ingredients with a few yellow flagged. 

My thoughts:

The texture of this BB cream is creamy but spreadable & buildable. Absorb easily on skin - doesn't wipe of skin, not oily, not greasy and not sticky. Slightly scented, smell a bit citrusy, it's like vitamin C's scent combined with cosmetics scent. The color is perfect match for me. After layering of skin care routine , gives a sheer finish with medium coverage - cover minor flaws and fine lines, however the coverage only about half a day. It's hydrating to skin and comfortable on skin. Bottom line, I like this multifunction BB cream, it's sunscreen and BB cream in one and also helps in correcting skin tone. I found this help slightly lightens dark spots with continuous usage. The downside is that this BB Cream is expensive given it's only 30ml, not budget friendly. 

Pros:

-Not oily, not greasy, not sticky, easily absorb by skin

-Free from silicone, mineral-oil, fragrance, paraben

-High SPF 50 PA +++

-Lightens darks spot slightly with continuous usage

-Medium coverage with sheer finish 

-Hydrating and non drying

Cons:

-Expensive
