BB cream

Just bought some Olay BB cream and realised I don’t really know what BB cream is 😂. Is it a cross between foundation and moisturiser? So like a light tinted glow as opposed to a heavy foundation?
Many thanks for your words of wisdom

They're lighter than a foundation.

When they first came out, they were just tinted moisturisers, but the ingredients and formula have got a lot better.

It stands for Blemish Balm. They are supposed to have a blurring effect.

I use a moisturiser and then BB cream. I then have a powder foundation which I use on top of the bb cream if I have any big blemishes or spots.
