Review of Olay BB Cream~Fair to Light

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream in Fair to Light

This product is described as a "tinted lotion" on the box description, and I feel that's appropriate given it's consistency and finished look. It's in a large tube that's 2.5x larger than the average 1oz bottle of foundation makeup.

This BB Cream has a floral scent, mineral sunscreens and offers light coverage. The coverage is so light you can barely tell that it's on your skin. If you need to conceal any discoloration, freckles, blemishes or dark circles, you will want to include a concealer in combination with use of the Olay BB Cream. If you want a natural "glow" or don't care much for makeup, then you will love it as a tinted lotion~ just simply apply and go!

I didn't have any trouble with breakouts or "melt downs." Its very lightweight, so there's not any issue with color transfer onto my clothing, either. The finished look of this BB Cream is very natural and soft-to-the-touch.


I like that it's free of oil and PABA. It contains mineral sunscreens, instead of chemical sunscreens. It isn't a "natural" product. I included the ingredients for those of you who have allergies or just like to read ingredients.

Who would I recommend this to? Anyone who wants light, moisturizing coverage. You can adjust this to  medium-full coverage using a finely-milled loose powder with it. Loose powder often covers better than compact facial powders. It only took a light dusting of loose powder to give me a shine-free, natural finish.

I received this product complimentary from influenster.
