Excellent substitute for BB cream

Excellent substitute for BB cream
Great substitute for BB cream if you are fair skinned and want daily coverage of redness or discolouration. Doesn't have the same coverage as foundation, but it has the same consistency. Great for a day at the beach.
Causes breakouts for me. Very oily and makes my face shiny. Feels very heavy on the skin, and after 4-5 hours makes my skin feel saturated. I like to use this only when I am going to wash it off in 2-3 hours.
Heavily fragranced exactly like the other Cicapair products. I like the smell, but it's strong, so if you have sensitivities to fragrance/perfume, it's off-putting.

It's fine
I use this after my skincare routine as a primer or standalone if I don't want to put on foundation. I like that it has a physical SPF and it lessens my redness but it separates easily and has fragrance, so I probably won't repurchase
