BB-cream "Clean line"
The domestic beauty industry is trying to keep up with the European and Asian ones, and recently the Russian brand Pure Line, known for its naturalness, introduced a novelty to the cosmetic market - BB-cream "Clean Line" - 10 in 1". This product was released as part of the "perfect skin". The cream attracted the attention of Russian women who had previously met with"corrective beauty balms» only foreign brands. But ours is not only dearer, but also more budgetary, and as for the promised effect of perfect skin, let's try to figure it out.
What does it mean
Beauty-Balm or Blemish-Balm, which translates as "beauty balm" or "balm that hides flaws."
The history of this cosmetic product begins in Germany: the first beauty balm was developed by the German dermatologist Christina Schrammeck. It was based on the idea of a single remedy that would hide the effects of laser therapy and give a caring effect.
BB cream is all you need after washing, if its formula is really good, cosmetologists say.
The versatility of this tool has conquered the world. The so-called BB boom began in the spring of 2011 and continues to this day. With the idea of replacing skincare and corrective products with BB cream, many companies refer to their products as "5 in 1" and "10 in 1". This is considered a marketing ploy, and some experts believe that such products are unlikely to replace serums and masks.
Means "10 in 1"
This cream has a light texture, has a tinting effect, combines the advantages of foundation and caring creams. Natural ingredients in the composition not only moisturize the skin of the face, but also cleanse it of toxins. After applying the cream, the tone of the face will become even, matte, and the pores will become invisible.
The manufacturer promises 10 effects from 1 product:
- Matte finish all day long
- nutrition and hydration 24 hours;
- masking imperfections;
- narrowing of pores;
- even tone;
- shine;
- protection from ultraviolet rays;
- protection from the negative impact of the environment;
- cleansing of toxins;
- lack of inflammation.
In 2013, a consumer test was conducted, in which 50 girls took part. It is stated that 94% of respondents noted a positive effect in all 10 areas.
Compound
Chistaya Liniya positions itself as a company producing environmentally friendly products based on plant and mineral components.
The wonderful effect of Perfect Skin BB-cream is achieved thanks to natural ingredients: rose extract, castor oil and shea butter, sea buckthorn and macadamia extract, vegetable and mineral pigments.

Castor oil perfectly nourishes and moisturizes the skin, preventing the appearance of mimic and age wrinkles. It is used to eliminate age spots due to its ability to lighten the skin.
- Shea Butter - this is the deepest hydration and nourishment of the skin, thanks to triglycerides. It softens, restores the dermis. What can I say - it is recommended even for use in baby skin care due to its tenderness and strong strengthening, protective properties.
- Sea buckthorn - "berry from all diseases", so affectionately called it by the people for a reason. Only its presence in the composition of the cream, perhaps, can justify the name "10 in 1".

It has a brightening effect - helps to get rid of age spots, even out skin tone. Sea buckthorn destroys pathogenic bacteria - helps in the fight against acne.

- Silicone Cyclopentasiloxane refers to volatile silicones, used in cosmetics as a solvent for components, evaporates at normal body temperature, leaving almost no trace. Gives the effect of easy application, because. spreads well.
- Disodium EDTA used to control pH. Recognized as a dangerous carcinogen. Included in the "black list" of substances that should not be part of cosmetics.

Reviews
The vast majority of ladies who tried the Clean Line - 10 in 1 BB cream were satisfied. They note that this remedy perfectly nourishes the skin of the face without creating the effect of a greasy mask. This is said by both girls with dry skin and combination skin. The latter are pleased with the good moisturizing of dry areas of the skin, while without "weighting" oily and problem areas, but on the contrary - with a matting effect.
Many were satisfied to a greater extent with the caring properties of this cream: it nourishes, does not clog pores, fights light peeling and redness. This is a wonderful matting cream with a slight tinting property - this is how the corrective "abilities" of the cream are described.
At first, some were scared off by the dark color of the “bibik”, but later it turned out that it adapts to the skin tone and becomes invisible, while evening out the tone, masking light age spots and narrowing the pores.
However, customers recommend the Pure Line - 10 in 1 BB cream for skin without pronounced problems, believing that this product is not able to hide them.
Still, do not forget that BB cream is not a panacea, and facial skin care requires a combined approach.
