San San BB Cream (Review)

I think this product is a hit and miss to all the Filipino girls out there. I have seen a lot of reviews regarding this BB cream and it is a mixture of pros and cons. That is why I am very intrigue to try this product to see on what would be the result in me.

We all know that San San Cosmetics is one of the most cheapest beauty finds here in the Philippines. Most of their items are student and budget friendly. 

As of now they have two shades of these BB Cream. I think one in Natural which is the lightest color and second in Beige which is their darkest shade. I am more on natural side but when I visit the nearest HBC store here in our place the only thing that's left is their Beige color. I was quite hesitant to get this color because its a little bit dark on my skin tone., but I was really eager to try this product so I decided to get it even if the shade is darker from my natural skin tone. 

I bought this San San BB Cream for only P150.00 and it contains 30mL amount of product. It says in the product description that it has Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins A+C+E and SPF 43 which I think the product content is really good for the skin.

It also claims to lighten dark spots, nourishes skin, protects skin from sun damage and with anti oxidant 

Almost every product has the same claims, but we can only prove these claims if we test them out on ourselves. 

Packaging:

One good thing on this product is that it is not messy at all because it has a pump tube, that  you can control the amount of product you just want to use. It has a very simple packaging nothing is fancy.

Product

This product is not too thick it has a medium coverage and it really feels light weight into the skin (that is what I am expecting to a BB cream). Surprisingly BB creams should be light weight with light coverage it will just even out your skin tone but this BB cream "almost "cover all my blemishes specially the small imperfections. Though one pump is not enough to cover my entire face but two pump is more then enough to cover everything, but you still need to use concealers for your severe blemishes because this product can't do all the magic you want. It is a bit dark on my skin ,it oxidizes a little but still it is bit dark so I just used a lighter face powder to set up the BB cream.

Scent:

For those scent conscious, this product has only a very minimal scent, (signature scent of almost every San San beauty products)

Longevity

I live here in Baguio City and the weather  is a bit different from the other parts of the Philippines but still ,I have a combination skin, most of the time I had my oiliest part of my face on my T-zone area. And before buying this product most of the reviews on this is not good for oily skin, so that is why I did not apply any moisturizer on my face before using this, and I did not also use any primer because I want to test the longevity of the product. Well surprisingly the outcome of this product for me is not that oily, it last me almost 3 hrs before my sebaceous glands starts to produce oil and the product is really there even if I'am sweating. At the end of the day when I remove my make up using a baby wipes still it is there seems like nothings change. But for a day I did three touch up of face powder to control the ongoing oiliness. 

PROS:

• This BB cream is very light weight into the skin.
• It has a medium Coverage, that covers all your small blemishes
• Longevity will last up to three hours.
• It has a very minimal scent
• Sweat proof
• Not sticky
• Very good for those people who has normal to dry skin type.
• Best thing is budget friendly

CONS

• Bit dark on my skin tone
• Only two shades are available
• Does not last you all day
• If your an oily person like me, this product will last you three hours and
• You need  three touch ups for the rest of the day
• Can not do all the magic you want
• If you don't like to keep on retouching ,use a primer to prolong the longevity of the product.

I hope this review can help you on choosing a cheap but good find product. I highly recommend this product to all those students and budget conscious to try this product. This is not high end but it really gives a trick.

  You can find this to all leading HBC stores Nation Wide.
