Great coverage. I would give 5 stars, but I’ve only used this for 3 days. I’m highly impressed so far though. The coverage is really good for a product that isn’t actually a foundation. It’s also relatively light, which I appreciate. I mix it with my daily sunscreen and it stays in place all day with no settling. I would definitely recommend giving it a try. It’s pricey, but you only use a little bit at a time.

Tinted blemish balm that is lighter than make up! I’ve been using this product for about 3-5 years. My dermatologist recommended it as part of their facial routine, so I bought it to use at home. I love the colored tint so that I don’t have to wear heavy make up. The texture is smooth. There is no strong scent. I wish it was cheaper but this is a really good product, so it is worth it. It’s known for reducing redness. It doesn’t clog pores for me so I’m happy. I would recommend it to my friends and family!

I use it daily after serum and day cream as a makeup replacement. Thanks to its medium coverage, my complexion looks flawless even after the first application. With regular use, irritations and redness disappear. The only thing that bothers me is the shine, as I still have to set it with translucent powder. Perhaps an SPF like in the BB fluid would be feasible, but basically there’s nothing to complain about with this product.

Coverages well, nourishes well and looks good. Not like other makeup products.

I was recommended to buy this from my facialist. I had never heard of Dr. Schrammek before, but after reading all the other positive reviews on Amazon I decided to go for it. The consistency is a little more thick than I would have imagined, but can easily be diluted with a serum or fluid of any kind to get that elusive “glow”. The “Classic” color seems fine for my on-the-pale-side Korean skin, but maybe a little on the beige side (again, easily remedied by diluting it by half with serum). I was a little disappointed that the actual product is very small (1.0 fluid oz) but I was actually recommended a BB cream that was twice this price by my facialist initially. I was initially a little worried about putting “makeup” on my skin after a facial but she assured me the Dr. Schrammek’s would actually speed up the healing. Her last facial was a little more intense than usual but I do feel like the cream helped with the scarring.

Good Results, Natural Glow and Subtle coverage – I LOVE this BB Cream! This is the FIRST face cream that works for my sensitive skin! I love love love this brand of products! I cannot say enough about how wonderful these products are. I have suffered from red, dry, flaky, itchy and broken out skin on my face for 10 years.I have tried doctors, lasers, creams and prescriptions and nothing helped me. Dr. Schrammek was recommend to me and I tried it. After 1 week my face is 99% healed. I have received multiple compliments on my beautiful skin!I look younger and my face feels cool and smooth again! I can say with confidence that this is a GREAT product line.This BB cream is light and not heavy or greasy. It calms my skin and has a light glow – not shiny! I LOVE this product and all of my other Dr. Shrammek products!

Favorite product, love it! For the last ten years this has been my favorite go-to facial product! I was introduced to Dr. Schrammek’s Blemish Balm by my esthetician when my normally blemish-free facial skin collided with a prescribed medication causing a huge breakout. She insisted that I purchase this to ensure that my face didn’t scar from the incident. Ten years later, I continue to rely daily on Dr. Schrammek’s Blemish Balm.It is as described -a soothing balm for irritated skin. However I consider it to be so much more: a tinted moisturizing concealer providing dewiness and glow. But it doesn’t stop there. I swear that with regular use it minimizes pores, refines and restores not only dry patches but also oily blemished areas, plus it reduces sunspots!I’m 53 years old and reside in California. Because I seasonally tan up quite a bit, I keep three tints on hand. During the work week I use this product as a base with full make-up. On the weekend I happily switch to merely moisturizer, Blemish Balm, tinted lip balm and mascara. For a flawlessly bare weekend look apply a perfecting primer followed by Blemish Balm!Hint –if your skin is freshly cleansed or wet, or you’ve recently moisturized, give it a minute before you apply the balm or else it will feel as if it’s smearing with a bit of a tacky finish. Use it with or without moisturizer. Lovely, all it takes is a pea-sized amount….attended an event this past weekend and saw many folks I hadn’t socialized with in over 30 years. They asked me, “Where are you wrinkles?” I’d say Dr. Schrammek took care of them.
