little white truths

Look, if your skin is paler than mine and you think the colour is a match, I reckon this is a good product.

It applies well and has a good dose of sunscreen in it, plus it covers imperfections and gives a nice dewy glow. If it was the right colour for me, I'd likely be thrilled with it. It is not. This is annoying: Korean CC creams do, in my experience, colour correct and the whole 'one size fits all' thing usually works reasonably well. This is the case with my Erborian CC cream, which I love to bits.

What's good about this product is that, despite the high SPF (and it does smell of sunscreen), it's not greasy and you're fine to use it without powder (in my case, anyway - but I do have dry skin).

What's not good about it is the colour problem. So in my case, this will only ever be used as a primer - and I may even end up using it as a dedicated sunscreen for my arms/shoulders when I'm mucking around at home and won't be out in public looking like a ghost.

Eh, a $3 sunscreen ain't half bad ; )

If this product looks like your colour, I'll also say that it wears reasonably well - although you may need to reapply it after 4 hours or so (which you should do anyway, if you're counting on it for sun protection). It's also a good base for makeup/powder, if you're wanting more coverage.

So yes, it's hard to give a defined verdict on this cream due to the colour issues and the general lack of product info in English. But hopefully this review is helpful to anyone thinking of buying it!
