Review : Danahan Hyoyong Yun Diamond B.B. Cream SPF 30 / PA++ (#23) Natural Beige


Product Description
The First B.B. Cream with 0.1 Karat Diamonds!
Diamonds are believed to have positive yin energy that enhances skin naturally, reduces wrinkles and whitens your complexion.
Natural herbal elements, Yongyunboyangdan, instantly brighten the skin and help reduce the appearance of fine lines with 0.1 karat diamonds. Sunscreen protect the skin from UV rays, while a lightweight natural plant powder, Damhyangwhayeupbun, provides a long-lasting dewy finish.

I have been lucky enough to receive the sample while visiting the store during a Beauty Credit Xmas preview party. Each member will receive a free goodie bag during the party. A one-to-one sales promoter will be tagging along with each member, introducing her to the various promotions. I believe sales commissions were involved because I have been to 2 different parties and when I did not get anything, I was shown a black face by the promoter.

I bought something during the 2nd party. I also did not quite like the idea of having someone tagging behind my back, I just feel hard to breathe. Its irritating, knowing that the promoter is just after sales and not really sincere about helping me with my skincare concerns. And I do wish to have the freedom to browse at my own leisure.

Knowing that this BB cream contains diamonds, I was of course excited to try it. Diamonds are girls' best friends, isn't it? I am not that sure if  #23 is the only available shade but thats what I see on the web and is also what I have been provided. I managed to use for about 8 times from the sachet. And its definitely too short a time for me to determine its whitening effectiveness but from these usages, I do feel that its not the one for me.


There is a nice herbal scent but the texture is abit drying and slightly thicker than other BB creams. Coverage is more than sheer, ( I would rate it as medium coverage) good enough to cover light to medium blemishes. However, because of the texture, I do find it hard to spread and blend into the skin. It seems cakey and emphasise the flakiness on my skin.

Skin appears brighter and oil control is better than expected. In fact, I only need to blot once at the end of 6 hours, for my combination skin. Note that at the time of usage, I have some weird flakiness on certain areas on my face hence, my skin oiliness may be lesser than normal.
I am shocked that it costs a whopping $129.90 for this BB cream. Why would anyone spent that amount on a BB cream? In fact, I think it would be much cheaper in Korea.

It costs around 25,000 won which is like 30 SGD or so....so the side at Beauty Credit in Singapore marked up the prices intentionally. This is daylight robbery.
