've been looking for a good BB cream for a while and stumbled upon reviews about Ponds BB cream. My skin type is pretty normal and I do not get pimples other than the ones that appear during that time of the month. I applied this with no moisturizer beforehand. I was extremely pleased with the coverage and the finish. It did appear to even out my skin tone well and reduce redness. After a day's wear, I was extremely pleased with the product.
