Does anyone use BB cream?

I don't wear foundation, only powder but I wonder whether I could use a bit of "blurring". Does anyone use BB cream? How is it different to CC cream? What would you recommend?

I love the garnier one. I haven't used CC cream.

I use both- depending on the needs of my skin. I use No. 7 BB cream- it's not that covering, blurs a little hides minor redness, I use Clinique moisture surge CC cream. It's thicker and covers more. It helps when my skin is dry and flaky. Covers the redness more.

I use BB more in summer, am well into my CC regime now. I have acne rosacea and psoriasis if that gives you any guidance.

I have been using a BB cream recommended from Mumsnet.. it's a Botanics one from Boots. Love it. Didn't like the Garner one at all. It's super cheap too and you use the tiniest bit- I literally put that and some mascara on and feel LOADS better than if I don't wear any make up at all.

However. I'm a recent convert to Stila One Step Correct stuff- it's expensive but a pea sized blob does my whole face. It seems to work the same way a BB does, but feels more moisturising and lighter on my face, and my overall skin condition has dramatically improved since I switched to using it. It's really light and supposedly cancels out redness and greenness. I like it!

I use Sanctuary Spa's skin perfecting BB Cream in the light to medium shade as it does what it claims and moisturises and conceals any minor imperfections.

I've just seen it priced at £15 on Boots website and I bought 3 on eBay yesterday for considerably less than that sum. Smile

I like garniers bb cream when I have a break out.
Clarins tinted foundation is really nice and similar coverage.
