The third part of our BB Cream Series is looking at the US brands that now offer BB Creams. (What is BB Cream?)

Note that many of the US BB Creams just don't offer what the Asian BB creams do. Korean BB Creams are known for giving skin a flawless look, whitening, anti-aging, high SPF, etc..whereas many of the US BB creams act more like a tinted moisturizer. However, most of the Korean BB Creams aren't suited for those with darker skin tones, so the US brands get props for that.

If your skin tone allows, we totally recommend finding a Korean BB Cream, and we're going to put up a list of the ones that get the highest reviews, but we also know that internationally shipping isn't for everyone.  (BB Cream Review: Tonymoly Intense Care Snail BB Cream We gathered the list of US brands with BB Creams and broke them into two lists for you.

Our last post was titled "What is BB Cream" and I heard from many people who were intrigued, completely not knowing or hearing about BB cream before.  My sister even rushed out that day to get some after learning about it! I have a feeling you're all going to know what BB cream is soon because you're all going to go  try it yourself.

My sister couldn't wait for the international shipping of a Korean BB cream, so she picked up Clinique's BB Cream. (compare prices)  For me, I'm all about the Korean BB Creams right now.  While in Seoul last month, I asked the sales associate what one was the best and she immediately pointed to Tonymoly's Intense Care Snail BB Cream.  My 7-year-old was standing next to me, my husband and 10-year old waiting outside, feeling rushed I just grabbed it and paid, never noticing the word "snail" or the big picture of a snail on the bottle.  But I did notice snails all over the BB cream posters from then on out.

Snail "goo", for a lack of a better word, is well used in Korea for its anti-aging benefits.  Who knew? It kind of weirded me out a bit, I won't lie, but I'm all over that now because I love my Tonymoly BB cream.  I have a list of Korean BB creams to try after this one.  Next up is Skin79's BB Cream, which you can get for around $15.  (compare prices)  But make sure to do your research on making sure you are getting an original and not a fake.

I spent 10 days in South Korea last month and even though I wasn't there on business, I couldn't help but be drawn in to the BB cream craze. BB creams are everywhere in Seoul! From the high-end shopping malls to the open-air markets, you'll find BB cream without having to look.

My good friend Grace, whose family is from Korea and who visits Korea regularly told me all about BB cream last year, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on a bottle or two while in Seoul.

BB creams are just starting to make a name for themselves in the USA, but I find that many people just don't know what BB creams actually are.  I'm doing a multi-piece series on BB cream and what I learned while in Seoul.

The first: What is BB Cream?  Soon after I'll share a review of what BB cream came highly recommend to me while in Seoul and we'll talk about application tips and the brands you can find currently in the US. You'll definitely want to try a BB cream soon!
