Skin79 is a South Korean brand of BB creams and other skincare products that has a large and fun selection. Being as thrifty as I am, I avoided buying the full set of the more popular Skin79 BB creams and just went for the trial sized versions. Amazon has these, but you can also find both the full sized and a larger sample versions on the official site. I tried all of these, but as you can see I went mostly for the pink "whitening" one, as I liked the consistency of that one best. All are wearable, except for the Pearl (second from the left), which has a distinct iridescence that would look pretty garish if it was slathered all over your face. These blend well and hold for a large part of the day.
Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing any of the full sized BBs because they contain triclosan as an antibacterial agent. Despite concern over its role as a hormone disruptor in animals, the FDA has been delaying a review of triclosan for years; it is still under review. Perhaps tellingly, Johnson & Johnson will remove triclosan from all of its adult products by the end of 2015. It is really too bad that Skin79 does not seem to have full lists of ingredients for products on its North America website; the company does have a lot of really neat skincare, but it would be helpful to know if triclosan is something they use widely.
