In reply to Vana. Vana, it depends on your skin type. It's not moisturising enough for dry skin. If you have oily skin and just want an even tint and a sprinkle of antioxidants, it'll do.

Dear Gio, I would appreciate if you could tell me your opinion about Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream, actually about its ingredients?
Like you can see from the link below, this product contains Retinyl Palmitate, and also Titanium Dioxide.
According to its ingredients, would you say it is a good product?

Thank you so much in advance! xo xo

In reply to productnerd. productnerd, you're welcome. Retinoids are very beneficial ingredients that can help skin in lots of ways, but sadly they don't work for everyone and that's why they get some bad reviews. But I believe that they're ingredients that should be used by anyone who can as they can really help you look younger for longer.

Thank you so much for this informative info! I’ve been currently using retynils in Roc deep wrinkle treatment and I’ve heard so much negatives until I started researching around and finding more positives on this beneficial ingredient. Great post!

Janessa, you’re welcome. Like all retinoids, retinyl palmitate can cause irritations in some people, but apart from that, it’s safe and effective. And it is a shame that it’s getting a bad reputation because of people spreading misinformation about it.

And that’s good that you’re studying a bit of cosmetics science at school too. 🙂

Wow, thank you so much for clearing up this issue! I have heard about retinyl palmitate and it’s ‘risks’ and didn’t know what to believe before reading this. I was talking to my chemistry teacher about some skincare ingredients the other day because we’re learning some structures and they have some of those ingredient names in there. :]
