After finishing half of the 50mL Elianto Multiplex BB Cream I proudly considered my HG, I am officially announcing that it breaks me out! I feel terrible seeing how this BB cream has "turned its back on me". Boohooo.
I've always blamed my hormones and sleeping late as the causes of my never-ending chin breakouts. Recently, I often stayed home (I quit work to give way for my review, remember?) and skipped my bb cream moments. I'm surprised that despite sleeping in the wee hours of the morning and that my period's coming up, no new zits have piled up on my chin! I can actually see my chin these days, I thought.
And then it hit me... the only product I stopped using since I noticed an improved chin was my prized Elianto Multiplex.
And so it's official... the great bb cream isn't for me.
On a happier note, I am falling in love with Barenaturals' Skin Perfecting Primer! I've earlier claimed that it poorly controlled my oilies. Allow me to retract that. Let me tell you that I am considering this as my daily primer.
No, it still doesn't impress me that much when it comes to keeping my 'oiliest of the oiliest' face mattified, but it does a decent job in keeping my makeup on and my face clean on a daily basis. I still use blotting papers a couple of times, but since I am only attending review classes (inside an air conditioned room), Barenaturals' Skin Perfecting Primer is perfect!
And oh, I've commuted from my place to my patient's (it's a polluted, sweaty, and humid 30-minute jeepney and tricycle ride) and I'm surprised that I'm only a little bit on the dewy side! This happened thrice already.
And so it's official... Barenaturals' Skin Perfecting Primer is an impressive one.

Let me share one more thing with you guys. Look what I found:
Must be the reason why I broke out, huh?
lol! maybe that's why. haha i reviewed the BN primer too and it's good.
ReplyDeleteawww I am so sorry it didn't work for you! :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comment on my last post! That's too bad the bb cream turns out to be the culprit of your chin breakout.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right about the Hanskin BB cream, it gets me VERYYY oily by the end of the day without a proper setting powder. :(
hi! i just recently stumbled upon your site...
ReplyDeletei also tried some Elianto products before. they were hits or misses. but when i came to Korea and looked for the brand (even i-White Korea), i just couldn't find one. maybe a maker here (of sub standard quality products) re-named its products...
bb creams are supposed to make your skin better.. especially for acne prone.. they are supposed to make your blemishes disappear and control zits.. it's sad to think that many cosmetics companies here also just jumped into the bb cream craze. one shop even sells a bb cream base you apply before the bb cream. and so i told the SA that their bb cream is a foundation, not the blemish balm it's supposed to be..
i hope you will still find the bb cream that will work for you. if you have problem skin, innisfree and nature republic and other brands have bb creams for (over) sensitive skin like mine...
the first bb cream i tried was VOV. it's availabe at SM north edsa and trinoma. it worked on my blemishes and so far, i could say it controlled my pimples but it gives you that dewy look so retouching can be the problem... but i didn't mind, as long as my blemishes and pimples were controlled...
hope one this helps...
oopps didn't know until now that Elianto is Malaysian beauty brand, haha.. anyway, the SAs claimed all their products are made in Korea. thanks for the barenaturals primer review/update...
ReplyDeleteWhoah too bad about the BB Cream but I'm happy you found another good product though (the primer hehe). ^_^
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm so sorry to hear about that. I guess BB creams are not for everybody (i haven't tried bb creams yet). One blogger is also breaking out from it and another blogger claims that it isn't really effective. Oh well....
ReplyDeleteThank you for your reviews. It's really helpful because I have problems with my acne-prone skin too :( But the last part is very funny XD
