Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng

After hearing so much praise about Korean French brand Erborian, trying out their most renowned product, BB Créme Au Ginseng, I could see after just one use what all the fuss was about making it an absolute staple in my skincare and makeup regimes.


Erborian was born of a meeting of minds between Korean scientist Hojung Lee and a French beauty expert and globe trotter Katalin Berenyi who came together through their quest for finding the best beauty solutions across the world. The product that caused such a stir in the beauty world that was a result of their creative collaboration was the Erborian BB Créme Au Ginseng which is known for being the perfect alliance between skincare and cosmetics.

BB Creams are a relatively new trend here in the west and were originally designed for patients healing from cosmetic surgery but their huge appeal to me is that while on a superficial level they are a great alternative to foundation, this one is particular creates a beautiful dewy glow but also blanket coverage, and they contain nourishing ingredients to work on improving your skin during the day as you wear them. For someone like me who is just terrible for wearing foundation because I find so many too heavy and clogging, this BB Cream was the perfect combination of coverage and care for me. And it smells so good which makes it all the nicer to use!


BB Créme Au Ginseng is a 5-in-1 product that moisturises your skin while providing sun protection and coverage daily and leaves what the brand calls a "baby skin effect" with a natural healthy look that looks like you're not actually wearing makeup but that your skin looks radiant and healthy naturally. It feels light but evens out your skin tone and makes it look so perfect. From the very first time I used it my sister commented suddenly on how great my skin looked without realising I'd just applied it so that was a good first experience with the product. It's not too heavy at all and lasts an impressive amount of time so you don't need to keep reapplying. The SPF20 is an added bonus too for daily wear.

The special formulation in this product is Red Korean Ginseng which is a natural element known for its regenerating and energizing properties which works away at improving your skin during the day. I really feel like it's an amazing daily alternative to regular foundation. The coverage is perfect and it gives you such a radiant, healthy, quite illuminating look. The key ingredients in this product work to detoxify your skin and boost circulation and lead to firmer skin overall. The perfect alternative to foundation that never looks caked on like foundation can but gives great coverage for discoloration, redness and evens out your skin tone making it look wonderfully healthy and glowing from the very first use.

At the moment you can only buy the BB Creme Au Ginseng and the brand's CC Cream in Space NK on Grafton Street and Harvey Nicolls and it can also be bought at http://uk.spacenk.com/en_GB/brands/e/erborian/ though, based on how impressed I was with this one, I hope very soon we will have much more of the brand's amazing collection available to us over here. RRP at Space NK is €48
