The Fresh Effects line is filled with a spectrum of products from cleansing, skincare, and of course make up alternatives. The Fresh Effect BB cream, claiming to create fresh and flawless skin, comes in a 2.5 FL OZ tube and costs about $12 depending on your local market. It states on the box that it has 6 benefits: "Refreshes, brightens, even tones, hydrates, smoothes, and protects". You can learn how to use the product by clicking here.
First Look at the product in action:

| Completely blended. |
Not a bb cream in my book. The labeling on this product is truly a case of identity crisis.
The product claims to be a BB cream, but is really a tinted moisturizer. Something worth looking into is the catch behind this product. It directs that they want you to reapply it every 2 hours like a sun screen, which I find confusing. So what is it Olay? Is this a bb cream, tinted moisturizer, or sun screen? You are confusing me and my senses! How long does this product last? Depends.
If you are wearing it on a day to day bases in place of your foundation, it will last about 6 hours, if you set it with a powder {no touch ups}.
Over all, this beauty balm is nothing like a traditional asian bb cream. The self proclaiming "bb cream" is nothing but a tinted moisturizer. Being labeled as a BB Cream should come with a check list. Most beauty balms in Asia have more than just skin perfecting properties, it has actual skincare ingredients that improve the skin with time. The Olay BB is simply a tinted cream that is suitable for sun protection and light coverage. Would I recommend it, no because there are better products out there.
