Ho una pelle mista e molto sensibile. Ho comprato la BB cream di Erborian per curiosità. Si stende bene sulla pelle e copre anche le imperfezioni, ma mi ha provocato uno sfogo, e pertanto non è adatto al mio tipo di pelle. Però per chi non ha una pelle sensibile come la mia lo consiglierei, in quanto rimane anche leggero sulla pelle e non la appesantisce. Ho dato due stelle solo per il fatto che contiene anche degli ingredienti che possono provocare reazioni allergiche.
