No, it is not very moisturizing, it feels like a light foundation and when you layer it it feels like sunscreen, much similar to teh blue bottel one 50 spf for the face.

I would say yes but only if Your skin is on the oily side. I have a combination skin and i use it on my dior hydrator to avoid dry patches.

This contains both chemical and physical sun protection.

It has a chemical and physical SPF which can be irritating to a sensitive skin so I would go with one that only has physical SPF such as Zinc Oxide which is a great option for your skin type.

I'm Asian as well and I'm very fair. I wear shade 1, but all the shades in the range are yellow-based and very forgiving. It's very blenable and works great as a sun protectant AND as a tinted product.

I'm a NC25-30 too and I got number 2. The cream is so sheer though, I don't know that any of the colors wouldn't be ok since there's really no coverage.

I have a medium tone complexion and i use number 3 which is The darkest. It is not fully covering so No need to fear u will have The mask effect on ur face. U can also błend it with ur daily moisturaizer or hydrator.

I'm going to be weird and answer my own question because I found it out..

First off I'm a BB Cream queen. I'm totally addicted to it, I've tried almost every brand I can think of, nothing surpasses the original Korean BB Creams, which are thick and offer a lot more coverage then most American counterparts.

This is definitively a tinted moisturizer. While it does do some stuff BB Creams do, like color correction, a veil of color, and comprehensive sun protection, it does not do key things a BB Cream does.

It is not a primer, for one. A BB Cream is almost always a primer, or can be used as a primer.

It offers a light wash of color. If that's all you want, great. I use it between primer and BB cream now. It adds a nice depth to my tone.

It doesn't offer any skin correcting ingredients. It has protection, but BB Creams have things to reduce irritation, whiten the skin, protect against break outs, whatever the case may be. They where originally invented by a dermatologist for their patients to use after treatment. The skin treatment step is also included in a nice BB Cream. That way, with time, your skin will look better.

Since it doesn't prime, and it doesn't offer much coverage, if you are like me and like big color in your eyes or your blush to pop, you will have a hard time. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin silky and lovely, but there isn't much to blend into. A foundation at least, if not a BB Cream, is needed as an inbetween to blend things at the very least.

Do not get me wrong, it is a phenomenal product, I LOVE it, and am never without it when I go out, but it isn't a BB Cream. Maybe some day Shiseido will bless us with a BB cream, but until that day, I will use Missha (wonderful Korean company of BB creams) on top of this before I go out ^^

You should be able to see the ingredients in any product Sephora sells on the 'Ingredients' tab underneath the item and its description, right above where the reviews are listed.

You'd apply it with your fingers just as you'd apply moisturizer. Put a few healthy drops at the center of your face (ie. nose, forehead, chin) and blend outward covering your whole face with the product.

I think the basic rule of thumb tends to be that you should apply skin products in the order of thickness. For example, watery or liquid moisturizers would be applied first, then serums, then creamy moisturizers. I would put this product on after moisturizers and before make-up. Your sunscreen should be applied based on its consistency, after the moisturizers. So if it's thicker than the Shiseido, apply it after, otherwise, apply it before.
