A few months ago, I blogged about a few of my favorite things.
One of those was a Christian Dior BB cream I’d gotten a sample of a few months back.
Dori works for Hydroxatone, a skincare line, and offered to send me some samples for review, including to try their BB cream.
Since turning 29 and realizing that 30 came next, I’ve been looking for any anti-aging skincare stuff I can get my hands on.
Uh, except snake venom.
Anyway, I’d always used moisturizer + concealer + foundation + powder…and that’s a lot of stuff, and no foundation truly felt light enough. (Clinique was the closest I found.) So I really loved BB creams when I tried them, since they’re so light.
You can supposedly use BB creams as a moisturizer, too, but I usually use a light moisturizer like Clinique Moisture Surge, so I still use moisturizer under mine.
The Hydroxatone BB Cream has Vitamin C, peptides and SPF 40 to firm and lift the skin, brighten, moisturize and protect. And keep me looking 29 for life?
In the spirit of full disclosure (and because I’ve put other no-makeup pictures on the Internets before, though usually with a post-run glow), here’s a before-and-after.
Before:
I have relatively clear skin, but my face is all red from being sick.
After:
As you can see, I’m really and truly obsessed with chevron, I have grey and white towels, I still can’t take a good selfie, and the lighting in my apartment is terrible. (And I probably should have taken both photos in the same spot, but I wasn’t going to take off my makeup again…)
Oh, and the BB cream? It has really good, even coverage and is really light. I’m not wearing any other makeup in this picture, FYI, so you can get an idea for the BB cream’s effectiveness. I’ve been wearing it every day since before Christmas, and I really like it for both everyday wear as well as going-out-at-night wear.
And I have a tube for one lucky reader!

My favorite product is any kind of high coverage foundation. I’m an almost 30 battling acne still and hopefully preventing wrinkles.
I haven’t tried a BB cream yet, but I’m excited to try!
MY favorite anti aging product is moisturizer. Hoping it works!
I just bought a BB cream last week and have been using it for about a week. What the heck does “BB” stand for???
@Linda Chan: According to Wikipedia, BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base, or beblesh balm (apparently because of a trademark in Korea on the word “blemish”), and in Western markets, beauty balm.
Love my Korres lip gloss!
Lara recently posted..Developing Flavor: Influences and Implications
My favorite anti-aging product is Cetaphil. It’s not marketed as an anti-aging product, but it’s a great skin cleanser. I use it to clean my face in the morning and when I get home from work. I think it’s key to clean your face after getting home from work, play, etc.
I liked the Hydroxatone page.
I love Revlon Colorstay whipped foundation!
I haven’t tried a BB cream, but I’d like to try!
I love St Ives Apricot Scrub. It’s been around for years and is a fantastic scrub that gives great results.
@Jennifer: ooh, I do love that!
I love revlon lipstick. It looks and stays on so well.
My favorite anti-aging product is sunscreen!
I haven’t tried BB cream yet but would definitely love to experiment with it considering the great reviews.
I’ve tried Marcelle BB cream, but it doesn’t have SPF.
My favorite makeup product is my Vanilla Frosting Lip Gloss — it smells great!
My favorite makeup product is mascara, I can put it on without anything else and it makes me appear awake!
I’ve never tried BB cream but have been looking at all the brands around lately trying to decide which one to try!
I love Boots Anti Aging Serum!
I’ve never tried a BB cream, but now’s probably a good time to start! (almost 30!)
I’m just starting to dabble in anti-aging products, but my Mom has always sworn by Mary Kay’s night cream.

I have never tried bb cream. And I am a lot older so I would be curious if this would work for me too. I love the idea of using one with SPF. I love products with more than one use. I love all dr Dennis gross products. They work miracles on my skin.
I liked the hydroxatone page on fb
My favorite makeup product is Bobby Brown eyeliner! It last forever and doesn’t smudge after a long day
I just started using the Loreal BB cream a couple of weeks ago. However, now I hear there’s a CC cream that’s supposed to be better? I can’t keep up with the trends! haha
Liked on FB
I love Stila’s BB cream/tinted moisturizer:)
For anti aging, I love any of the Bocia Black line!
My favorite makeup is definitely my eyebrow pencil and borrow mascara. Without it I look like a grumpy 90 year old man!
I tried loreal and garner bb. They both were kinda gross!!
My favorite anti aging is loreal youth code. It smoothed out my eye wrinkles in like 6 weeks

can’t go without my rosebud…the best there ever was.
My favorite makeup product is mascara! If I only out one thing on, it’s probably that!

I’ve tried garnier bb cream. I didn’t mind it for the cost, but I’d probably get a better quality one for next time!
Taylor recently posted..My Running Story
I have tried them and really love them. I doubt I ever go back to powder or liquid foundation.
Right now I’m obsessed with Maybelline BB Cream
I’m a big fan of BB creams
I use ROC anti aging
liked them on FB
I use neutrogena ageless intensives wrinkle/moisturizer cream, I just started using it though, so I’m not sure if it works or not!
My favorite makeup product is a tossup between concealer (I tried a bunch of expensive ones but now I use Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse and think it’s awesome) and mascara (always Maybelline Great Lash). Those make me look the most put-together in the shortest amount of time.

My favorite beauty product is the aveeno daily moisturizer I use! It is super soft and nice, and thick in a good way!
Lizzie recently posted..Day 10-12 Winners!
I tried a BB cream from my birchbox once, but it was super thick in a bad way- it didn’t blend or sink into my skin at all! I’d love to try a better one.
My favorite makeup is Maybelline’s Great Lash mascara in their traditional pink bottle with the lime green cap. It always works great, it’s cheap, and I can feel confident going out with just a few swipes of good mascara if I’m in a rush!
I use Garnier’s BB Cream almost every day. I like it because it’s so easy to apply and makes my skin feel soft, but I find it kind of thick and hard to blend into my skin.
I love Olay’s Night Rejuvinating Serum. I put it on every night after washing my face. It takes away that tight feeling I get after scrubbing my skin and I feel like I am glowing in the morning.
I use Bobbi Brown face oil during winter – keeps my skin hydrated!
Nicole recently posted..Giveaway – Domeo iPad Case
I used BB cream all spring/summer. Love it! Perfect coverage and all that jazz and light enough for warm weather.
Nicole recently posted..Giveaway – Domeo iPad Case
Favorite anti-aging (though it’s more good skincare, in general) is BBrown Intensive Skin Supplement serum.
Nicole recently posted..Giveaway – Domeo iPad Case
Also my favorite makeup product is mascara. More often than not it’s the only thing I’ll wear and it just adds a nice little pop. Plus it is quick to put on! Helps when you have to watch a 10mo every single second of the day.

But I have tried BB Cream, but it’s a need, not a want so I have not gone out for any. I’d rather spend money on running gear. I’m hopeless
Emily @ FitMamaInTheCity recently posted..Sanity Run
My favorite anti-aging product is probably water and nutrition though. Veggies and fruits, hydration, it’s best to go to the source!
Emily @ FitMamaInTheCity recently posted..Sanity Run
I have a new favorite product: clinique chubby stick in chunky cherry! it’s a great pop of color.
I’ve also been using a Garnier BB cream but I got it in the summer and it’s slightly too tan for my pale, pale winter skin
and i use an under-eye anti-aging cream i won in some giveaway from allure.com. it’s in a purple tube with a pump top … i cant remember the company!
eye liner – it highlights my best feature!
My favorite beauty product is concealer. I have major dark circles!
I use a BB cream daily, and I LOVE IT. I use SKIN79 Super+ Beblesh Balm BB Cream. It makes my skin so even and smooth without being heavy like foundation.
I liked the Hydroxatone FB!
My favorite makeup product is the urban decay naked palette. I have like zero makeup skills, so I love that there are like a million YouTube videos that show me how to use it!
My favorite make-up product is my VS lipgloss – Cherry Bomb to be exact!
I’ve been wanting to try one of these soooo bad!!!
My favorite product is L’Oreal telescopic mascara. The brush has small, thin bristles, so I don’t get clumps. Its really the only beauty product I stick with consistently. Other than that, I love to try new things!
I’ve never tried BB cream but have heard awesome things about it. I’m almost 29 years old and I have never worn any make-up stuff like foundation because I don’t know how to put it on. I could really use the BB cream!
I’ve tried the Boscia BB cream, but didn’t love it. The color was a little too dark for my skin, even for the summer. I’ve heard the best BB creams are from Korea? But you have to order them online and not sure if thats totally legit. Could be sending me snake serum or something….Anyway, I’d love to try the Hydroxatone BB cream.
I discovered maybeline’s BB cream a few months back and love it. I used to swear by bareminerals, but I’m loving the BB cream. I’m wondering if I’ll still like it in the summer though.
My favorite anti-aging product is Retin A. Its by prescription, but its pretty inexpensive and I’ve heard its the best for preventing fine lines.
My favorite anti-aging product is Murad moisturizer, so light, but supposedly fending off those wrinkles. I’m almost 30 too!
Liked Hydroxatone on Facebook
My favorite makeup item is bronzer! I’m super pale, so bronzer is necessary to keep me from looking like a ghost. IT makes a huge differnece!
Mascara! I can’t leave the house without it!

I love a good foundation..I have tried a few BB creams and they were nice to wear to the gym.I am wanting badly to try Hydroxatone because I love their skincare.I use the moisturizer,toner and eye cream.The BB cream I have not tried yet.
I love love love smashbox BB cream. It still covers like a foundation and stays on, but feels nice and light.
My favorite make up product is they’re real mascara by benefit. It really lengthens/thickens my lashes and stays put all day without leaving my lashes feeling dry. I feel like it provides a nice finishing touch with just a little foundation, blush, and lip gloss.
My favorite anti aging product is Palmers face cream with retinol and shea butter.
My favorite cosmetics are an eyelash curler (I absolutely HAVE TO use one) and Covergirl Lashblast mascara. I’ve tried so many others, including expensive name-brand products, and Covergirl lashblast is always so much better.
I have tried Garnier BB Cream from drugstores. I like it, but I don’t looove it. I love the IDEA of a BB cream though, so maybe I would love this one!

My favorite anti-aging product is GM Collin eye contour corrector. It is a really light, refreshing eye cream. I am 28 and notice that I have some dark circles and laugh lines developing around my eyes. This product really brightens the eye area, so I look more awake and refreshed.
tried a bb and it read really chalky on me… would love to try the hydroxatone one…

My favorite anti aging product is Organics anti-aging serum. One drop around my eyes and frown lines and I’m good to go!
My favorite all-time makeup product is any Maybelline mascara – I’ve used three or four and they’re all perfect and under ten bucks!
Also, I’ve tried Garnier’s BB cream before – good coverage, but left me shiny and caused a few stray zits on my normally clear 26-year-old skin. Disappointing.

I’ve tried several BB Creams, but still looking for the perfect fit!

Never tried BB cream, but would really like to – I’m only 27 but I see the wrinkles coming– have a bad feeling that I am not going to age super gracefully. Ah well. Such is life.
I need to have a pressed powder. It takes away my shine.

I’m almost embarassed to admit my favorite anti-aging cream is Olay. Like the exact same kind my grandma used. It’s rediculous, but it works for me. I’m 36 and no wrinkles yet… I’ve often thought of trying other kinds, but if it’s not broke, don’t fix it, right? LOL

My favorite anti-aging beauty product is actually extra virgin coconut oil. I’ve been putting it on before bed. It’s been said to heal damage, and prevent further damage (wrinkles). Bonus: It also has natural anti-microbial agents which prevent infection (acne).

i have never tried BB cream but your skin looks great so would love to!
my favorite anti-aging product is Olay Regenerist night cream. truthfully, i’ve never tried any other anti-aging product so this is kind of by default haha
Favorite beauty product is CO Bigelow Rose Salve. Great moisturizing abilities and such a pleasant scent!
Haven’t yet tried a BB cream, but have been wanting to for several months now. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Definitely my san tropez bronzing lotion – I look like I’m dying in the winter, and a weekly application keeps me from getting too pasty.
L’oreal volumnious mascara is amazing! But, I’m never able to find something i love for my skin, would love to try this!
I’ve never tried BB cream but I’ve heard wonderful things about it! My favorite anti-aging product is Philosophy’s “Hope in a Tube”. That stuff works really well around my eyes and lips.

I have never tried BB cream but I am curious. I don’t really wear much foundation because my skin is pretty even and I don’t get breakouts. I usually use a shine free primer + powder just cause my T zone gets shiny.
I guess my favorite makeup item would be mascara.
Mac is my favorite makeup line.
Topical Vitamin C for anti-aging.
My favorite product is clinique moisturizer.
My favorite product is Maybelline Illegal Lengths Mascara. It really brings out my eyes.
I currently use the Garnier BB Cream, but the color is a little off. It is either too light or too dark. I am almost out and was thinking about trying a different brand.
Foundation. I don’t wear makeup everyday but I feel more polished if my skin looks even.
I’ve never tried BB cream but I hear so much about it.
I think of sunscreen/moisturizer with sunscreen as anti aging. Gotta fight those wrinkles.

Hi! The absolute best thing you can do for your skin is to run/exercise. It’ll keep you looking great. Trust me… I’m 42 and I like to think I still look 29
. My favorite foundation was the Revlon ColorStay Active Light Makeup SPF 25 but it’s been discontinued so I’m definitely going to try the BB cream.
My fave makeup is Tarte LipSurgence lipstick!
I’ve never tried a BB cream, but I totally want to!
I can’t live without my Cetaphil daily facial moisturizer – it has SPF 50 and feels so light!
I also love BB creams – my favorite so far is made by Garnier.
My favorite make up by far is mascara. It is the one thing that I remember to put on everyday!
I have never tried a BB cream – would love to though. I am not good about all of the anti aging stuff as I should be!
I am putting them into one and it should be two – sorry!
My fav makeup is Almay Mascara.
I’ve never tried BB cream, but that is actually on my to-do list so I really hope I win since it sounds a bit overwhelming to find the best one/price point.

My favorite makeup product is Benefit They’re Real Mascara. I’ve always bought drug store mascara, but this one totally changed my view on nice mascara. It’s a MUST buy!
My favorite makeup product is probably the CoverGirl Nature Luxe mascara. I don’t wear a ton of makeup, but I always use mascara. This gives long, thick lashes without getting clumpy and doesn’t run!
I’ve tried the Garnier BB cream and I like it a lot. I like that it’s just one step!
My favorite anti-aging product is a tie between Aveeno Positively Ageless moisturizer (I use it at night) and La Mer eye cream (I’ve only used the samples, but my eyes look so much better after just a month of using it…if only I could afford a full-sized container haha).
Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner!
My favorite makeup product is powder! Light weight on the skin & covers what I need covered.
I have never tried BB cream before.
I have yet to find a favorite anti aging product…hoping I have time before I’m too “old”
Mascara all the way – I can put nothing else on my face, be as beet red as I get after a good workout, and it wakes my face right up.
My favorite anti-aging product is from MyChelle Dermaceuticals, specifically the Supreme Polypeptide Cream. It smooths anything and everything – great for around and under the eyes, the neck, you name it. Now I’m curious how it would compare to the Hydroxatone BB cream – I keep hearing about it and it looks amazing from your photos!
My absolute favorite product right now is Benefits BeneTint. I have the dark rose colored one- GREAT for a bright pop on the lips/cheeks without being drying or too thick & matte like some lipsticks. Bonus, adding a glittery gloss over it is a great look.
I’ve never tried a BB cream, but I keep telling myself that will be my next purchase once my current foundation runs out….
I would love to try the bb cream! I am a die hard bobbie brown fan – I especially love the creamy lip color.
There is this Skin Fitness line that I get from my esthetician. I have pretty decent skin to begin with (after a bout with horrendous teenage acne I think it is well-deserved), but this has made my skin look so nice and smooth and the retinol serum has helped with any fine lines that I’ve seen in the past.
Good luck with your anti-aging potion search! Keep us posted!
my favorite beauty products are bb cream and a good mascara. those two items can carry me a long way.
I haven’t tried any bb cream yet, but have heard so many great things! I love the before and after pictures!
My favorite is youthful wear foundation with moisturizer in it!
My favorite makeup product is mascara
I’ve never tried a BB Cream, but I’ve been eyeing the product for awhile!
My favorite anti-aging product is Olay’s Regenerist cream
Thanks so much for this post, I have been buying my Clinique and Lancome makeup mostly online and had not heard about BB cream except for on tv. I was thinking body cream, baby cream – what does this BB cream stand for. Always wanting to save a few steps in the morning – I could not figure out why someone could not put foundation and moisturizer in one.
A time saving tip for you – I got a Conair Infinit Pro Spinning styler on Amazon. Great for long wavy haired gals looking for a sleeker style!!!
My favorite makeup product is my Clinique mascara. Can’t leave the house without it on.
I’ve tried the cheap drugstore “BB creams” that are just glorified tinted moisturizers. They aren’t really anything special.
My favorite anti-aging products are the Olay Regenerist products. Although, I’m almost out, so I’d love to find a good BB cream to replace it.
I liked their FB page!
My favorite makeup product is Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. A light swipe over my cheekbones and some mascara and I’m good to go for the day!

I liked the Hydroxatone facebook page.
I couldn’t go a day without burt’s bees lipbalm – but my favorite REAL make-up product is Clinique bronzer – I have used Clinque product’s since I was 16 but they dont’ offer a BB cream!
I have tried the MAC BB Cream – a little goes a long way!
I liked the facebook page
My favorite product at the moment is this Anastasia brow powder I’d had for a while and hadn’t used until recently. It makes a tiny, tiny difference to darken my brows, but somehow it REALLY makes a difference in looking polished.
Entry #2: I haven’t tried any BB creams yet! (I was sort of weirded out because in other countries they’re marketed as lightening your skin, so at first I was like “wtf why would I want that,” but I believe they’re different here.)
And I have no specific anti-aging products, although perhaps I should. lol. I have some Clinique moisture surge cream, which perhaps I shall put by my eyes tonight!
My favorite make up item is Neutrogena Bronzer!
I’ve never tried a BB cream, but this seems great! I typically keep things low key with some bare essentials and mascara.
I love Kate Sommerville tanning towels
I use Clinique Anti Aging products
Never tried a BB cream but would love to, especially as I’m truning the big 3-0 this year!
Blistex for chapped lips. I am simple like that.
My favorite is an Oil of Olay moisturizer with sunscreen. Sunscreen is my favorite anti-aging product! I’ve also tried Garnier’s BB cream and it is fantastic!
Bobbi Brown foundation stick! I’ve been using it for years (since high school maybe?) as under eye concealer, other places concealer, and foundation. It’s the best!

my favorite product is from Lush and it’s the Celestial moisturizer! It’s so great for dry skin like mine and i highly highly recommend any product from Lush! They’re all natural made from food ingredients, never tested on animals, and most are vegan!
I have tried BB cream and I really like the light coverage as I have pretty good skin.
Excited to try a new one especially if it is FREE!!!
My VERY fav anti aging product are the ROC resurfacing pads.
They say they are for daily use and that may work for some but I use them a few times a week and my face is BABY soft.
I have not you used BB cream but have wanted to try it out
I have used any specific anti aging products, just make sure to use sunscreen daily
BB Cream is actually my favorite product. I discovered it via Birchbox, and I actually asked for it for Christmas. I use Boscia but have tried a couple other brands. I’d love something that might make me look younger.

I like the Oil of Olay tinted moisturizer.
My favorite make up product, the one that if I am only putting on ONE thing is my clinique concealer.
I have used Loreal’s BB cream. It was ok- i think it takes a bit of getting used to if you’ve used Bare Minerals for years like I have. This particular brand does not have SPF in it either, which is a shame.
My favorite anti-aging product is good old Oil of Olay face cream. Ive used it for years and I think it is doing a pretty good job. I get a lot of shocked looks when I tell ppl my age
And I now LIKE Hydroxatone’s facebook page.
Thank you!
My favorite make-up product is Maybelline mascara – I don’t leave home without it!
I haven’t tried BB cream, but I would love to!
I’ve tried Oil of Olay’s anti-aging products, but I’m still partial to the basic Cetaphil facial moisturizer. I think it does a great job without irritating my skin!
MAC is my absolute favorite makeup product! Amazing!
Bare Minerals powder, I use it as a concealer!
I use Too Faced BB cream (LOVE), I am interested to see how this stacks up!
I’ve never tried BB cream, but I hear EVERYONE talking about it.. I’m typically the last one around to try out new beauty products (I blame being a tomboy for about 4 years too long)

Favorite product is Nars concealer in Amande!
I’ve never used a BB cream before. Would love to try it out!
I use Clinique eye cream and youth surge moisturizer!
I’m a slave to mascara! I’ve got pretty great lashes but can’t leave the house without a curl and a swipe of mascara (even to the gym, ha!).
Smashbox Primer is my favorite thing.
I’ve tried the BB Cream by Loreal. I love the idea of the BB creams but that one was not good for me. I would end up orange by noon.
I liked them on FB.
Who won???
Does anybody know if the bb cream is good for teenagers?
