    I'm using garnier BB cream at the moment. I have roscea on my chin and it's very sensitive to most creams. Tried the sample and was quite impressed so bought it. It blends perfectly with my skin and as i am 70 that's what i want. I don't want to look obviously made up as most of us at that age look dreadful in full make-up.aka, Joan Collins. lol. My skin has calmed down a lot with this cream and i am well pleased with it.

    I'm also using Garnier BB cream and like it. Sometimes I mix it with a bit of Olay sensitive moisturiser so it gives me more of a glow. I also wear Lily Lolo mineral powder in porcelain over this but even without this I can see an improvement to my skin (my red marks are less noticable).
    I've just purchased Skin79 in hot pink via Treat Your skin ltd as this thread has encouraged me to try the Eastern creams. I've got oily, very fair skin with some excema patches so I'll let you all know how it works (or not!).

    The Korean BB creams I've tried are:
    Banila Co Let Me Bebe SPF 37 PA++ - used to be my favourite, medium coverage plus super smooth luminous finish. This was my perfect match BB cream but I stopped using it when I decided to go paraben free. Still can't bring myself to chuck it out though...*sob* I'm such a hoarder :(
    Skinfood Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream SPF 20 PA+ - matte finish, but too heavy coverage for my liking, and not enough sun protection for me. Don't worry it doesn't smell like mushrooms :p
    Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF 20 PA+ - I slightly prefer this to above, it's a little runnier, has less coverage and isn't as matte. You can buy this for under £10 including shipping on ebay.
    Missha Signature Real Complete SPF 25 PA++ - what I use sometimes. Coverage is in between the two Skinfood BBs, gives a matte finish, doesn't contain parabens. However I'm not a huge fan of the matte finish and the pink undertones in #21 is a little "off" (#23 would be too dark) for my skin even though the shade depth is right, so I'm still searching for my perfect BB cream.

    Reviews for the Missha BB cream here http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=131980/Missha-_M_Signature_Real_Complete_B.B._Cream_SPF_25_PA++/0/Liquid

    Well, after much deliberation I've decided to go for Missha Signature, still not sure whether to choose #21 or #23 but the reviews on makeupalley sound good so think it's worth a go. Really like the fact that it's paraben free.

    I will also give an update once I've tried it

    Well i ventured into Boots on Saturday and bought the Stila BB cream. Well it would have been cruel not to as my advantage points were burning a hole in my purse.

    I must say i like it better than the Boots BB cream but the lightest is still a tad too dark on me but its wearable. Oh and its SPF 20.

    Shame my local boots does not have Stila, would like to take a look at this one. Could you tell us the exact name? There's nothing on Boots website.

    Damn, apologies for getting the name wrong.... I'm obsessed with Stila and Too Faced at the moment.

    The one i got on Saturday was Too Faced tinted Beauty Balm in Vanilla Glow. £25.

    Hi, thanks for the interesting thread, I have never heard of all these different BB creams.

    I'm liking the look of the Holika Holika Petit BB Moisture one, if anyones tried this is it really light?, I'm quite fair skinned. But don't want to look washed out. :)

    I've been trying the superdrug vitamin e radiance cream after hearing good reviews but think its more suited to a highlighter for me in the day, so am looking for a cheap alternative.

    I use a Korean BB cream, wouldn't use a Western one if you paid me I'm afraid!
    I use the Skin79 Super+ BB cream right now, which is a light-medium coverage and suits my pale skin. It's SPF 25+ I think.
    i have used that one,too.it is good and not uncomfortable for me,looks natural.
