You may have seen new ads in magazines for Garnier's version of a BB cream. But what is it? In one word, multitasker. Originally, formulated in Germany by a dermatologist in the 1950's, it was used as a cream to treat the skin primarily after laser procedures and surgery and provided light coverage. Introduced to South Korea and Japan in the 1980's it became very popular with Korean actresses and was a top seller on the Asian cosmetic market. BB creams possess all the properties of a moisturizer, primer, spf, and concealer. They provide anti-infamitory properties and have a soothing effect on the skin. Many contain skin lightening ingredients to help fade dark spots and imperfections.
