Marcelle BB Cream Beauty Balm - Fair Tinted Moisturizer, Lightweight Hydration, Hypoallergenic, Non-Comedogenic, Fragrance & Oil-Free, Cruelty-Free, 45mL

I am the person that looks at a bottle of Maybelline and breaks out. It's true. Everything in a bottle gives me PTSD lately because one wrong move and I'm facing itchy, red, and pus-filled acne from a reaction. I have contact dermatitis and I'm allergic to things like air (just kidding), dust mites, seasonal plants, and so forth. My dermatologist just told me that people with my condition can even be allergic to fluoride toothpaste! Bottom line: I had almost given up on ever being able to wear makeup. I've tried all the beauty counters in all the high end stores and just ended up returning the expensive so called hypoallergenic makeup. It all made me bust out in the evil red acne rash. Then a light bulb went off one day. I realized that Neutrogena was something I could wear because I always wore it as a teen with no reactions. So I got the Neutrogena mineral powder and surprise! I didn't break out. But, mineral powder makes anyone above 40 look more wrinkled, so I wanted to experiment again--this time with products I knew were safe for me. So I realized one of my favorite products was the micellular water from Marcelle so I looked to see what else they had for craptastic skin like mine and lo and behold the BB Cream! I was a bit hesitant to use this, so I got one of those sponge makeup appliers and sat there learning how to use that (I know, funny---but remember I can't wear makeup so everything is new to me!). I applied water to the sponge and then rung it out. I didn't want to touch my face with my hands, so I was trusting the sponge would work better. I applied it very lightly to my face to see if I would end up with a break out. Nope! I did make sure to wash my face completely before bed and go through my normal cleansing and moisturizing routine. The next day, I applied it again. No itching, no redness...nothing. Just clear skin. I will say that I probably need to still add a moisturizer because in some areas I'm really dry (in my photo--under my eyes needs some help for sure). And it isn't always full coverage so if you have a red bump or two, probably use a primer. It does cover very well in other areas, but for me, I think I need to do a little extra. I'm also not sure if this shade is correct. It almost seems too light for my skin tone. But overall, I'm happy with it. I also always make sure I wash everything that touches my face and I try not to use my hands. I also don't use any kind of wiping or gliding motion. Instead, I just blot the liquid on my face. Hopefully, this has helped someone like me who struggles with dry skin and needing non-comedogenic makeup so they don't break out. I'm so happy I can wear makeup again!

I really like this cream! Works just as well as high end BB creams I’ve tried before that are double the price. I have quite acne prone skin and it does not make me break out at all. I haven’t used BB cream for a year or so before I recently got this but I am pregnant and not wanting to wear makeup and this makes my skin dewy, glowy, moisturized, healthy and even looking throughout the day. It is going to be nice to have postpartum as well when I want to feel human but not bother with applying makeup. It is excellent for going make up free. I went with the fair colour as I do have fair skin but with warm undertones. It blends in perfectly and accurately. Really recommend!

Best bb cream ever!!!

Love this BB Cream. It is light to medium coverage, does't sink into my pores, doesn't cause break outs, and is somewhat hydrating. I do have to order a shade darker than other BB creams.

I was looking for something to replace the BB Crème I was using that was no longer available and stumbled upon this makeup item. I took a chance based on the reviews. I absolutely love it. I love the coverage! Feathery light and smooth but looks natural and gives great coverage. Nice price point. I will continue to purchase.
