Replying to a question on the last thread.

Keep the rest of your skincare routine going, but the addition of BB cream won't hurt! The BB cream will just even out your skin tone, and reduce discoloration from blemishes.

I recommend you try samples of Korean BB creams first. That way you can determine which brand (and tone!) will suit your skin. The phrase "whitening" might freak you out, but a better translation is "brightening". It won't bleach your skin, but instead even out your skin tone to make it look brighter.

CC cream is similar, but tends to be a lighter product and lighter coverage.

If your skin is darker than what Korean brands offer, there are also BB/CC creams that are grey right out of the tube, but will blend in to match your skintone upon application.

Believe it or not, eBay and Amazon are good places to get variety packs of BB cream (so that you can try different tones). BUT, once you find a full bottle, buy on a well-reputed site like roseroseshop or testerkorea. Fake bottles do show up on eBay and Amazon occasionally, so don't buy full bottles from there.

When trying the samples, watch a youtube tutorial on how to apply the stuff. The cream will come off with regular oil cleansing.
