My Experience with Physician’s Formula Super Beauty Balm Cream:

The Physician’s Formula Super BB All-in-1 Beauty Balm Cream comes in three shades – Light, Light/Medium, Medium/Deep (as per the Physicians Formula website). I got the one in Light/Medium as that was the only one I could find in the stores! I was a little bit doubtful that it might be too light for me, but it seems to suit me pretty well. I found on the internet that this BB cream runs slightly darker. So, the Light/Medium is actually for “Medium” skin. The Physician’s Formula Super BB All-in-1 BB cream comes in a white squeezy tube with a small transparent window on the front which lets you see the color of the cream. It has a pretty holographic print on the tube!

The BB cream has the consistency of a foundation. It has a creamy texture and applies and spreads easily on the face. You can use it with a brush or just with your fingers. The BB cream does not have any fragrance and is ideal for people with sensitive skin.

This 10-in-1 BB cream claims to address all the following needs:

  • Smoothing.
  • Moisturizing.
  • Protecting.
  • Firming.
  • Priming + Filling.
  • Perfecting.
  • Concealing.
  • Brightening.
  • Line-softening.
  • Long-wearing.

I have been using this BB cream for over two months now.  I did not like it initially because I felt it did not provide enough moisturization. I have really oily skin but I do have some dry patches once in a while due to some acne medication. This BB cream claims to work as moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen. When I apply this directly on my face with dry patches, it does sufficiently moisturize to cover up the dry patches. It just highlights the dry, flaky skin! So, I used a moisturizer all over my face and then applied this BB cream, but then my face looked really greasy and shiny! So, the compromise was to apply a separate moisturizer only on dry patches and use this BB cream all over the face! This works perfectly for me. I do not get a matte finish, but more of a semi-matte, dewy finish. I top it up with a loose powder and I am good to go!

The best thing about this BB cream is that it contains SPF 30. I can skip using a separate sunscreen. The coverage provided by this BB cream is sheer. You can build it up to medium coverage, which is alright for daily use. I have also used this around my eyes and it works well, as a sheer concealer, without making the skin around my eyes too oily or drying it out.

The BB cream lasts on my skin all day. Since I have over-oily skin, I just retouch the powder after lunch. Other than that, the BB cream lasts till I remove it at the end of the day.

Regarding the other claims made by this moisturizer, I do not think it does any “priming and filling.” I do not see any difference in my pores nor do I see any “firming” after using it for over 2 months. People with very dry skin may need an extra moisturizer, at least for the dry spots.

Like most Physician’s Formula products, this one too is hypoallergenic, Fragrance-Free, Paraben-Free, Gluten Free and Non-Comedogenic. So, it is perfect for people with sensitive skin.

Pros of Physician’s Formula Super Beauty Balm Cream:

  • Creamy and easy-to-spread texture.
  • Sheer to medium coverage for everyday use.
  • Moisturizes well enough that you can skip a separate moisturizer (except for dry spots).
  • Contains SPF 30.
  • Provides a semi-matte, dewy finish.
  • Travel-friendly packaging.

Cons of Physician’s Formula Super Beauty Balm Cream:

  • Does not justify the claims of “priming and filling” or “firming.”
  • Does not sufficiently moisturize any dry patches on the face.

IMBB Rating:

4/5

    1. I have tried finding them in India, but could not, Purva *waaa* That was why I went a bit crazy once I found them here in Canada, though they are overpriced, compared to the prices in US. Hope they start selling it in India soon or at least ship it to India.

  1. Physician’s formula has such great reviews 🙂 I want to know where I can find this in India. I have a feeling it’s not available in India *nababana*

  2. very different packaging, rarely seen BB creams with glam packaging *clap*
    *hunterwali* not available in India I guess *pan*
