Nice product
I like the glow my skin has when I use this BB cream but I hate the fact that it stings my eyes. The coverage is not great, it works more for a very natural look. If you can see past the fact that you can't use this around your eyes, than it's a nice BB cream to have.
I like idealia in general a lot. This BB cream is just like a tinted moisturizer with all the benefits and SPF. It applies nicely and it is light. Gives you some coverage but it is not cakey. I use to like the fact that it has shimmer in it, but now I prefer if it was just matte. Still great product and has a pleasant smell!
I love the Vichy Idéalia Life Serum, so I was all over the idea of a BB cream too. The Vichy Idéalia BB Cream is formulated with an 'Anti-Grey' technology that uses pink corrective mineral pigments to perfect skin- you know, illuminate, correct tone, all that good stuff. That same 'Anti-Grey' technology also works under the surface of skin, thanks to the active ingredient Kombucha. Kombucha works to not only increase radiance, transparency, and clarity of skin from within, but it also reduces grey tones and increases pink tones which in turn leaves skin looking fresh, youthful, and really, who doesn't want that?
I've used quite a few BB creams- I fall on the like side of the BB spectrum, btw- and have found they tend to fall into two categories. The more skincare type, and the more makeup/foundation type. While Vichy's does give some pigment and coverage, it's more skincare in nature. It does work to even skin tone and blur minor imperfections, but the coverage falls on the lighter side. I love how it illuminates skin, and is quite hydrating, but do need to use concealer or a powder foundation in some areas for that little bit of extra coverage. The finish, however, is amazing- it's natural skin, but better, with a brightened look. Basically, your skin, but so much better.
