BB/CC moisturiser that doesn't pill?

10 replies

I'm getting a bit sick of foundation and would prefer a tinted moisturiser, however the BB moisturiser I've tried (the Olay one) tends to pill on my face? I'm not using much of it, either, and I do exfoliate beforehand!

Can anyone recommend something that won't pill and will give me a small glow?

Erborian BB is great

What do you use underneath it? The pilling is usually because of another product clashing with it rather than the product itself.

Another vote for erborian

Erborian is great as others have said. Also Lisa Eldridge Skin Tint (I actually prefer this, but it is more expensive).

Yes agreed. It's something go do with oil and water not mixing apparently (eg oil moisturiser and water based foundation)

Erborian CC is great as already mentioned. I also like NARs tinted moisturiser and I've been using Revlon skin tint which is also good.

I would normally use Cerave moisturiser but when I’ve tried the Olay stuff it’s been with nothing on my skin (about 30 mins after a shower), so frustrating!

Thanks I will definitely try the Erborian - have to admit I’ve never heard of it before!

I find the erborian BB much nicer than the CC

Just bought the origins tinted moisturiser and it's great
