I know American BB Creams aren't the greatest. Actually, I almost will go as far as to say, I almost dislike them. I normally use Lioele Triple the Solution (Watch video HERE), which is a Korean BB cream. American BB creams are just tinted moisturizers. You've failed me, America.
Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream:
While reading the back of this, I've come to realize that this is simply just a tinted sunscreen. It comes with a lot more product than normal foundations/bb creams, with 2.5 fl ounces. The ingredients are not listed on the back, which worries me. I had to search them myself.
It is water based so it most likely will not cause breakouts.
It has an alcohol as the 5th ingredient. It may irritate some people.
It does contain fragrance.
No parabens!
Color: it has 2 color options (light/medium and medium/dark). The lightest shade was awfully dark. This may fit NC30.
Claims: it does moisturize and protect against the sun.
Consistency: It is very thick. Even though the pictures are of my hand, it does not feel thick on your face.
Coverage: not quite sheer but a very light coverage. It covered light freckles but not dark spots or acne.
Wear Time: The longest it lasted on me was 4-6 hours. Then I noticed it starting to fade and wipe away and was completely gone within 6-8 hours.
Price: $11-$13 USD
*Good for sensitive/dry skin
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream:
This is a sample size, but I got 3 different uses out of it, which I think is enough to review it.
There are 5 different shades and I got the second lightest.
*It did cause breakouts.

L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream:
