Lioele Water Drop BB Cream review

Lioele Water Drop BB Cream

After using the Skin79 Gold BB Cream for a couple of months (5 days a week), I had more than the usual amount of breakouts. I wasn’t sure if it was the Skin79, but I decided to switch over to the Lioele Water Drop BB Cream. I really do like this BB Cream a lot, but it isn’t the one for me.

Fresh droplet of bb cream on left and I just rubbed in some bb cream on the right of it.

Lioele says this product forms water drops when you apply and indeed, it does, but they are not very noticeable. It’s a bit style over substance feature that many moisturizing BB creams boast. I do think this BB Cream is somewhat moisturizing, very lightweight and refreshing. It feels really smooth and light as if you aren’t wearing anything at all. I do not get oily skin anymore so it doesn’t become shiny on me nor do I need to blot. Then again, I only wore this in autumn and cold months. It also does not have a noticeable grey or coloured cast, and I didn’t find it cakey. Both things I found with the Skin79 Gold.

Rubbed in and the water droplets appear before disappearing further into skin.

The downside of this BB cream is that no matter how natural and smooth it feels, it doesn’t do much else: it’s got very little coverage, no anti aging properties and no whitening properties. I like the feel of it, but it doesn’t justify itself in my skin care routine so I don’t think I will repurchase.

My skin type: Normal/Dry with occasional small breakouts. MAC NC20.
Skincare routine: Morning – Wash with plain water, rose water toner, Aveeno SPF moisturizer, BB Cream. Night – Facial bar cleanser, vitamin C serum, rose water toner, jojoba oil.

Pros:

  • Moisturizing and light on skin
  • Feels soft and not oily
  • SPF27++

Cons:

  • Very little to no coverage. Covers a bit of redness, but not much else.
  • No whitening or anti-aging properties
  • Availability issues as with most Korean BB creams.

Price: $22.80CAD (tax included) at Pacific Mall, Toronto. Can be found for cheaper online e.g. eBay.

Conclusion: This product is only good if you have good or normal/dry skin with very few other skin issues. If you have minimal acne scarring and don’t want coverage, this is for you. Since I do want to lighten some of my dark spots, it is doubtful I will be purchasing this again even though I do love the feel of this BB Cream.
