BRTC Perfect Blemish Balm (BB Cream) Review

Blemish Balm cream, short for BB cream, is the latest craze of the ladies, as it works magic in covering spots and blemishes on the face, as well as providing skin care. In short it is a foundation cum concealer that has skin care properties like SPF, skin regeneration and the reason why it is so popular is, it evens out the skin tone so well that everyone seems to be having good and glowing skin.

The product was originated in Germany and used by dermatologists to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery soothe and regenerate the skin.

Soon after, Korean celebs started using the cream and a craze was born. Big companies then took the idea and turned it into a product widely available to the public. The new product is suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive and acne-prone skin.

With reviews collected from a number of friends on the latest craze of ladies, the BB cream, I would like to provide a review on the most popular BB cream - the BRTC Perfect Blemish Balm Cream.

This BB cream has a thick texture, and thus works well in evening out the skin tone and covering up spots and blemishes as it spreads out and blends into the skin easily. Dark eye circles can be covered up effectively. Its smell is fine, and works above average on oil control, though it is not the best for oil control. It provides fairly fair skin tone after application.

After prolonged usage, skin is visibly clearer and fairer, and it helps in containing oil production.

This tube cost about $45 Singapore dollars if you bought it in Korea, and around $70-80 Singapore dollars if you bought it from auction sites. Unfortunately, it is only available currently in Korea. You can check out this site http://www.brtc.co.kr/FrontStore/iGoodsList.phtml?iCategoryId=25 for reference.

Companies that currently carry the BB cream are mostly Korean and include the following:

• Bio Remedies Therapeutic Cosmetics (BRTC)
• Skin Food
• Missha
• Etude House
• The Face Shop

Those that can be found in Singapore - Skin Food, Face Shop and Missha, does not have good review as compared to BRTC.

Please note different skin tones and types may have different suitability to the products. Thus do try out a few brands!
