Andalou Naturals Vitamin C BB Beauty Balm Sheer Tint SPF 30 - 2-in-1 BB Cream Mineral Sunscreen for

Love this and feels good on the skin. No breakouts or reactions. Not shiny and looks good. Has a very good color coverage. Very natural looking coverage. I've tried others and this one is my favorite for sunscreen with tint. It is lightly scented in a nice way. Am ordering it again. The tube does last a long time, but I am already ready for a second one, so I don't run out. No makeup needed when I wear this. I tried Elta MD and the color was too dark for me, and Cerave was too white even though tinted. For reference I am a pale redhead. Read more

I personally love this stuff. I have seen way less breakouts since using. It makes a great foundation and base for my make up. I’m not someone who wears a lot of makeup so this gives me coverage and smoothing with a slight tint. I then touch up any blemishes with a little bit of concealer and I apply my bronzer and blush and powder in all of that and it works great. In my opinion I will definitely purchase again. Read more

If they ever discontinue this, I'm sunk. I fell in love the first time I tried it at the health food store 10 years ago. I basically disliked every form of face makeup I'd ever tried, BBs included, and this one instantly felt so special and different. It lightly smells like oranges and the tint adjusts to your skin tone, so no shade guesswork is involved. (It may be a little light for some, both in color and in coverage.) It goes on like a creamy moisturizer, sinking in partly and making my skin more luminous while never showing in a streaky or flaky way, even on dry spots. I look polished and dewy after applying it (it isn't matte, in case this guides your preference.) A tube lasts me about a year - so the SPF would lose its potency, but I layer it with other mineral 'screens, and it works beautifully over those and under my cream blush and concealer. There's much to love about the ingredients, and it's sanctioned cruelty-free. The only real flaw I've found is that it sometimes explodes out when the tube gets low, staining everything in its path. For me, it's worth the danger. Read more

I previously tried a different Andalou moisturizer Andalou Naturals Ultra Sheer Daily Defense Facial Lotion SPF 18) that contained sunscreen that I liked but decided to give this one a try because it was tinted. I like that both products are made with ingredients that are generally considered safe. Compared to to the Ultra Sheer formula, the Beauty Balm formula is significantly thicker. But both have pleasant scents and provide a nice level of moisturizing. I feel like it takes a bit more to apply the moisturizer so that there is even coverage, but once applied, it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. I was hesitant since they Beauty Balm is only offered in one tint shade which was a little surprising, but I found that once applied, it does even out and blend with my own skin tone. I hardly ever wear makeup, so a tinted moisturizer is a nice, easy way to add a bit of consistent color and coverage. And the added sun protection is a must for me. The moisturizer comes in a tube with a pump on the end. It took several uses for the pump to function properly - at first I thought it was broken, but it did start dispensing the BB correctly after playing with it a bit. There is a cap for the pump to prevent accidentally dispensing the product. Read more

my skin just loves andalou products and this sheer tint moisturizer with sunscreen is no exception. I actually like it more the longer it's on. The sheer tint blends so nicely without being heavy, and provides a really lovely, healthy glow as the day progresses. There's no oily build up or cake feeling to it, and aside from protecting my skin from sun damage, my skin feels better using this than if I don't - that's a rarity! goes on easily, blends well, provides just enough tint to help even out the rough spots. Love this product! Read more

Caveat: Different skin, different results. This review is based on my experience. I have dry, fair/medium skin with cool-neutral undertones. I was hoping this BB cream could cover up my hyperpigmentation. Pros: This BB cream has everything I need! The zinc oxide is a physical sunblock that does not have health concerns like some chemical filters in other products. The hyaluronic acid quenches my thirsty skin and the variety of vitamins and antioxidants helps promote healthy skin. It has none of the ingredients that I am trying to avoid (e.g. parabens) and gets a low hazard score (1) from the EWG's Cosmetics Database (http://www.ewg.org/skindeep). The rich cream goes on very smoothly and evenly, giving me a healthy glow. Coverage is sheer (similar to a tinted moisturizer) after proper blending. Please note that blending is essential! Neutral: It has a natural citrus scent which I really like; however, it might bother folks that are very sensitive to scents. Cons: It is a little pricey but, given the ingredients, I think it is reasonably priced. It doesn't completely cover my hyperpigmentation (I didn't expect that it would) but it makes the blotches less noticeable. Overall: I really like this BB cream! I has everything I want (and none of what I don't) and leaves my skin looking and feeling great! Read more

I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but this bb cream is perfect for daily wear. Light formula, balances out my redness, and feels similar to moisturizer. Helps me not look like a tomato in zoom meetings. Love love it. Read more

I liked this product a lot in the first couple of days, but after a while my skin got more and more oily while using it. Weirdly it wasn't giving enough moisture either, because I have to use extra moisturizer underneath it or else my skin gets oily AND flaky. No idea what exactly isn't matching. So for my sensitive skin it's too heavy and not moisturizing enough. On the plus side it does give a nice tint and a smoother complexion. Could be a good product for someone with less skin balancing needs. But for me I might aswell use a moisturizer and a regular light makeup base. Also I am not a fan that this is a lightly scented product, but it's not too bad. Read more
