Ack, I don't know why I haven't mentioned this on MUT before. BB Creams have been pretty popular among Korean cosmetic users and it's spreading!
---
The BB Cream, aka Blemish Balm, is *the* hottest beauty product in Asia right now. The product was originated in Germany and used by dermatologists to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery soothe and regenerate the skin.
Soon after, Korean celebs started using the cream and a craze was born. Big companies then took the idea and turned it into a product widely available to the public. The new product is suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive and acne-prone skin. It has the advantages of both a makeup and skincare product. It can even out skintone, camouflage undereye circles, acne scars and add radiance to the skin without the heavy mask-like effects of a foundation. Prolonged used of the product will also help improve the overall texture of the skin and fade acne scars.
Below is a before-after picture:

Before & After
Some companies that currently carry the BB cream are mostly Korean and include the following:
Bio Remedies Therapeutic Cosmetics (BRTC)
Skin Food
Missha
Skin 79
Etude
The Face Shop

So think of them as a foundation/tinted moisturizer that's supposed to be good for your skin! A foundation that covers up flaws while improving your skin over time.
I can also post some reviews I've found if anyone is interested.
LOL by the way, one company that makes a BB cream is called Do Do Club.
One girl posted pics of how her skin has improved since using BB creams. I'm in the middle of asking for her permission to post it here.
