REVIEW: IT'S SKIN PRESTIGE CREME D'ESCARGOT BB

As you may know from my previous blog posts, I used to suffer from a terrible case of dry and damaged skin due to over-exfoliation. The dry patches actually didn't show up when I didn't wear makeup, but they became painfully obvious with base makeup on T-T It was so hard to find a BB cream that didn't accentuate them. I decided to try It's Skin Prestige Creme D'escargot BB because based on the reviews I read, it was a very moisturizing BB cream.

Size: 50ml

Ingredients: (Click on image to see ingredients)

Price: 1,050,000 VND (about 48 USD), but I got this for half the price (525,000 VND) during a promotion, yay! 

My opinion: I used this in conjunction with my beloved Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream, and this combo was the only thing that worked for my super dry skin! It didn't accentuate my dry patches at all, and my face looked moist and smooth (this BB cream has a dewy finish by the way). After washing it off, my skin still felt soft. This also helped heal my acnes thanks to the snail mucin in it. Despite its moisturizing property, it never clogged my pores or broke me out. I've been using this for 6 months and there's still half a tube left, so this BB cream does last for a very long time! It isn't perfect though. It only comes in one color and to be honest, it's a little bit too bright for me. It has light coverage so it can't really conceal my occasional acnes or dark circles. It also doesn't control oil well, which is a real pain in hot weather as it seems to slide off my nose after 2-3 hours even though I apply powder on top of it :( It stays well on my cheeks but not so much on my T-zone. This is how it looks like on my face:

Pros:

- Moisturizing

- Help heal acnes

- Non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic

- A tube lasts for a very long time

Cons:

- Light coverage (but this can be fixed with a good concealer)

- Pricy

- Weak oil control property

- Available in one shade only

Score: 8/10

Repurchase?: No, because my skin isn't dry now (thank God!) and apart from the full-size product, I still have a small sample tube from It's Skin ^^ But this one will always be my go-to BB cream whenever my skin is dry :)
