BB cream, also known as blemish balm or beauty balm cream, is a makeup product that is designed to serve a variety of functions. It is essentially a multifunctional cosmetic that can provide coverage, hydration, sunscreen, and anti-aging benefits. Other synonyms for BB cream include tinted moisturizer, skin perfecting cream, and complexion correcting cream. While these terms are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences in their formulations and intended purposes. For example, tinted moisturizers are typically lighter in coverage and focus more on moisturizing, whereas skin perfecting creams may offer more coverage and special ingredients to address specific skin concerns.
