Good evening ladies,
A few weeks ago we received The Body Shop's new Moisture White Shiso BB Serum Inside, so here's our review of the product.
First of we start with the packaging.
The packaging is really clean-looking and since it's a pump, it really is very clean. :)
Before we dive in to the review, here's what this product is promising (from their press release)
Want brighter-looking
skin, day after day? You got it! Meet new Moisture White™ Shiso
BB Serum Inside SPF 25 PA+++, our supercharged, skin-caring BB Cream that’s
infused with serum powered by shiso. The results are so noticeable that 71% of 100 Asian women who tried it
saw instantly fairer skin upon application.
Our entire Moisture
White™ Shiso range is inspired by the humble herb shiso which is a
member of the mint/basil family and believed to reduce early melanin-making
signals for brighter, more luminous skin.

types, its radiant beige shade was specially developed to suit most Asian skin
tones. The good level of coverage provides a natural finish. Perfect!

The Review
1.
Ok so off the bat, true, the BB serum inside does brighten you up, but I wouldn't say it's a feature that's exclusive to this product. I mean, I find most of my BB creams to be brightening or lightening (since they tend to gray my complexion out) and this one is not an exception. Refer to our pictures below.
2.
With regards to the instant hydration, well, I was using the product during my driest time, as in my skin was super dry, almost to flaking and my sebaceous dermatitis were all acting up. So, did this product help it quell my skin problems? Well, I'd say YES, though using it alone would not and did not help eliminate the problem, I still had to use my deep moisturizers and steroids for the dermatitis but it did help prevent it from worsening.
3.
Natural finish... depends on the person using and how much you're using. On me I find using half a pea-size amount is enough for it too look natural. Too much and I'd look stark pale and just wrong.
4.
Easily blend-able. I find that using a brush makes it easier to blend. I do not recommend using your fingers as the product is quickly absorbed by the skin so it makes it a little harder to blend/spread when you're using your fingers.
5.
I love anything and everything with SPF and UV protection and with it having SPF 25, that just about makes me happy to have it with me. :)
6.
Soothing... can't really comment on that. I wasn't particularly noticing it.
7.
Evens skin tone, I'll say YES to this one, if you're able to apply it evenly and well enough. :)
8.
Lightweight, indeed it is... but since I put a lot more to even out my skin color, it's a feature that I don't much notice.
And here are the pictures of when we used the product.
My face without the product.
Applying it to certain parts of my face then working on blending it out from there.
As you can see with the finish, it grays my complexion out.
And here we are finally, after some added pigments. A nicely hydrated face.
In summary:
What I like:
Packaging
Hydrating
All natural ingredients
Packed with vitamin C, aloe vera and shiso
Lightweight
What I don't like:
Grays out my complexion
Will I buy again?
So since this was given to us, I'm not sure how much it costs. I've seen how much it is in Australia and in other countries and it's around 30-40 dollars so I'm assuming the PHP price is near that. I probably won't yet since I still have a lot of BB creams lying around.
So that's how it is. Danica did also mention that this product is actually more of a skin care product than a make-up and I agree on that note as well. I do love this product but opted to give it to my mom so she can have a really great BB cream since she doesn't use any. So far she's liking it. :)
Cheers,
LIZ
