BB-cream La Roche Posay
BB-cream literally means the cream-balm. In La Roche Posay brand, they are represented in the line "Hydreane". We will understand in more detail what it is and what are the features of these products for this brand.
A bit of history
For the first time such a cream was created in Germany and was intended for people who have serious skin lesions: scars after surgery, burns, scars and other problems. The cream was composed of a large number of natural ingredients and was intended not only to mask the existing flaws on the skin, but also to provide a healing effect.
Modern creams marked "BB" are produced by many cosmetic companies. The French company La Roche Posay is no exception. In the assortment there are two tinting shades to choose from: light tone and beige natural.
Cream BB is able not only to mask minor defects such as pigment spots or post-acne, but also has a whitening and anti-inflammatory effect. Advertising states that the tool is able to eliminate the initial signs of aging and can be used in the eye area, whereas many other creams are not recommended to be applied under the eyes.
Act
Manufacturers claim that La Roche Posay bb-cream is capable of solving several problems at once:
- Retains moisture for 12 hours.
- Soothes and relieves irritation.
- Evens the complexion and gives the skin a slight glow.
- Reduces the number of free radicals.
- Protects from excessive exposure to sunlight.
The therapeutic effect of modern creams is often in doubt among specialists. It is believed that a tool that combines the solution of several problems is not very effective. Therefore, one should not expect any miracle cream and refuse basic care. It should be understood that it is primarily a tinting and masking agent. The rest of the tasks it performs along the way.
Composition
Consider the main ingredients that make up this miracle cure.
- Thermal water. Its share in the total mass of the cosmetic is 15-20%. Unlike ordinary water, thermal water is characterized by a high content of trace elements and minerals. It soothes irritations, restores the skin, relieves irritation.
- Glycerol retains moisture inside the skin, has a cleansing effect. Depending on the level of environmental humidity, glycerin can have the opposite effect. If a woman who uses an agent that has an excessive amount of glycerin in its composition is in a room with dry air (air conditioning, heating devices, etc.), then this ingredient will draw moisture from the inside, thereby drying the skin. If, on the contrary, the air atmosphere is wet, then cosmetics with a glycerin base will not harm the skin. Perhaps, therefore, reviews of the same cosmetics are often radically opposite. As part of BB cream from La Roche Posay, the proportion of glycerol does not exceed 7%, which corresponds to international standards.
- Selenium acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, slows down the natural processes of the skin.
- Sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid It has a moisturizing effect, stimulates regenerating and metabolic processes, helps in the fight against wrinkles.
- Hydrolipids keep moisture at the cellular level, soothe sensitive skin, give a feeling of comfort.
- Apricot kernel oil - It is a natural component that relieves irritation, tones and soothes the skin.
- Maize oil It contains a lot of vitamin E, protects the skin from the harmful effects of the environment, stimulates the production of elastin, softens and nourishes rough skin.
- Passion fruit oil fills skin with nutrients, fills cells with moisture.
- Shea butter (or else shea butter) has a wound-healing effect, ideal for treating acne.
- Mineral pigments used as dyes of natural origin. Dermatologists confirm that they are completely safe for the skin and do not cause irritation even to sensitive and problematic skin. Thanks to them, the face acquires a healthy even shade, it becomes radiant from the inside.

Application
The cream is recommended to be applied in the morning on clean skin. Its effect lasts up to 16 hours, which allows not to correct makeup during the day. The annotation says that the cream is suitable for all types, including sensitive skin. However, some user feedback suggests that it leaves a not very pleasant shine on oily skin. Therefore, the cream should be applied with a thin even layer. To do this, experts advise to use sponge, and better makeup brush. In order to distribute the product over the skin surface more evenly, the brush can be pre-moistened with water.
When applied correctly, the light scattering function begins to work after a few minutes: the cream is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the face, picks up all skin tones, adjusts to them and dissolves on the face, becomes invisible, and successfully hides all the existing problems.

The cream does not clog pores and is easily washed off using a micellar solution or other cleansing agent.
