Product Review: Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream




Just a few months ago, Belo Essentials came up with a new product - the Intensive Whitening BB Cream.

Yaaas, finally! 
The Philippines' leading skin care and whitening authority finally came out with their own BB cream and just as expected, it turned out so,so good!

In a span of just a few months, this product has made its way to my holy grail!
Who would've thought that a Korean BB cream lover like myself would settle with a BB cream that's made and marketed locally? I never imagined that a local brand would be able to create a BB cream as good (or maybe even better!) than the ones from South Korean brands.

The product claims to instantly cover blemishes and imperfections as it works to intensely whiten skin.
It's paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic. It contains kojic acid, which is a very popular ingredient for whitening products, and tranexamic acid, which is said to be the best ingredient to repair and lighten skin discolorations.And, here's the best part - it contains SPF50 PA++++



A bit watery and very lightweight - feels like I'm wearing nothing on my face!


Provides medium coverage but is buildable. 
I normally use 2 layers to fully hide blemishes or use just 1 layer on my whole face and re-apply the product on the spots that need more coverage. I use it as concealer/under eye highlighter as well!


Matte and I love it. Non-sticky and non-greasy. I use less powder to set my face when I use this. (combination-oily skin type)


Surprisingly lasts for a very long time! I've worn it for a maximum of 8 hours and it still looked amazing.
Of course, I had touch up with my powder in the middle of the day, but that's normal since I really get oily on my T-zone.


Totally multi-functional! Aside from being a base product and a skin care product, the Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream effectively lightens and evens out the skin tone - not only when it's applied. 
And as I've mentioned above, I use it as a concealer as well by layering the product on my skin. I don't mind using a lot of it since it has a very light formula. 

On some days, I apply 1 layer of this BB cream prior to foundation. It works as a great face primer as well!
I recently suffered from a terrible breakout - that's why I switched back to using BB creams instead of foundation. I can't don't usually go out without my makeup so using the Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream instead of foundation has really helped me in taking care of my skin more. It doesn't break me out because it's not harsh for the skin unlike other base products. 


Available in all leading drugstores, department stores and supermarkets nationwide for only Php349.75
(Although I got this full-sized sample for free. Heehee. Thanks, Kuya Carlie! <3) 

*One tube contains 50ml of BB goodness


The product is scented, but not heavily. I don't really think this is negative although some of you might be a bit sensitive when it comes to how a product smells like. The Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream smells like a lightly-scented body lotion, but the scent normally fades away after a few minutes or hours. 




I totally recommend this product! Especially for those who love trying out different BB creams and people who want to achieve that "No Makeup" makeup look! Give it a shot! :)
