Librederm cosmetics understands perfectly well that BB creams have long been firmly established in our everyday life, and many advertisers attribute downright magical properties to them.
Initially, BB cream meant “blemish balm” and was intended to correct the condition of oily problem skin, or, simply put, to disguise acne and other skin troubles.
It is assumed that a good BB cream should contain not only camouflage pigments, but also useful, “healing” ingredients for various skin problems.
But in reality this is not the case and often the composition of a BB cream is no different from the composition of a regular foundation. More often than not, BB creams are thicker in consistency than foundations, and this is not always good for the skin.
Hyaluronic BB cream ALL-in-ONE Librederm
Read the description of the BB cream from the hyaluronic collection on the Librederm website:
Hyaluronic BB cream ALL-in-ONE Librederm is an innovative multifunctional cosmetic product that provides complete skin care and makeup. This unique cream instantly makes your skin beautiful and radiant without the use of additional cosmetics.
The cream works effectively in several directions at once:
- moisturizes. A complex with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid saturates the skin with moisture and leaves a long-lasting feeling of freshness.
-nourishes. The cream contains camelina oil as a powerful nourishing and protective component. This herbal product contains a whole range of natural elements that have a beneficial effect on the skin. The high concentration of polyunsaturated acids (vitamin F), “youth vitamins” E and A, phytosterols and chlorophyll in camelina oil stimulates cellular metabolism, prevents the premature appearance of wrinkles and age spots on the skin, and also protects the skin from aging associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation or hormonal factors. violations.
-mattifies. Provides long-lasting comfort to problem skin. It has a light toning effect that helps give the skin a natural glow and healthy color without feeling greasy or shiny.
Chemical composition:
- Demineralized water, glycerin is a humectant, attracts and holds water molecules near itself, softens the skin.
- cyclopentasiloxane - belongs to the class of silicones, facilitates the application and distribution of cream over the skin, gives the skin a silky feeling, and forms a water-repellent film on the skin. The statement that silicones are comedogenic and “don’t allow the skin to breathe” is a myth, unsubstantiated.
- Titanium Dioxide – One of the best cosmetic ingredients, titanium dioxide. It is used as an emulsion thickener, a whitening component that improves the application of cream, and as a physical sun filter. In foundation it is used as a coloring pigment.
- glycol palmitate is a glycol ester of palmitic acid. In cosmetics, it is widely used in moisturizing creams, as it has the ability to attract and retain water molecules. Cheaper than glycerin, but may cause allergic reactions. Possible comedogenicity. Not the best ingredient in cosmetics.
- myristyl alcohol - myristyl alcohol, refers to fatty alcohols. Emulsion stabilizer, surfactant, foaming agent, humectant, thickener. Non-toxic to skin.
- myristyl glucoside - surfactant, cleansing agent. Non-toxic when applied to skin.
- Boron nitride is a synthetic inorganic powder, used as a good adsorbent (such as talc), non-toxic.
- Sodium polyacrylate - a synthetic polymer with diverse functions - forms a water-repellent film, stabilizes and thickens emulsion, adsorbent, emollient. Refers to "good" ingredients.
- dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane - silicones, soften and smooth the surface of the skin, facilitate the application of cream to the skin, are absolutely inert for the skin, non-comedogenic.
- tridecet-6 is a polyethylene glycol + ether of tridecyl fatty alcohol combined with ethylene oxide. In cosmetics it acts as an emulsifier and surfactant. Like all polyethylene glycols, it can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and may cause irritation to sensitive skin. This ingredient should not be applied in high concentration to damaged skin. But the FDA has recognized it as safe in cosmetics for healthy skin and in small concentrations.
- PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone - refers to polyethylene glycols - a mixture of fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Emulsifier, solvent, emulsion stabilizer and emollient.
- camelina oil - Camelina Sativa Seed Oil - camelina oil, rich in fatty acids - linolenic (31%), linoleic, oleic (17%), eicosenaic (11%) and palmitic (8%). Emollient - softens and nourishes dry skin, restores damaged skin barrier. Very useful for dry skin.
- isononyl isononanoate, C20-22 alkyl phosphate (and) C20-22 alcohols, phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerol, PEG-12, dimethicone, hyaluronic acid, Cl 77492, CL77499.
Conclusion:
What effects will we definitely get from using this BB cream from Librederm:
- smooth skin surface - due to a large number of silicones - before the first wash;
- moisturizing and softening the skin - due to synthetic emollients and camelina oil;
- matting the skin surface - due to boron nitride.
BB cream is only suitable for dry skin. Due to glycol palmitate and myristyl alcohol, pores may become clogged, so it is better not to use this product to moisturize oily skin.
Suitable for sensitive skin. It does not contain sunscreen filters, which is not typical for BB creams, and requires applying an SPF product on top.
Despite the fact that there is nothing potentially “harmful” to the skin in this cream, I cannot give it a high rating, since I do not understand why it is needed at all.
It will not have any particularly beneficial effect on skin cells; it contains very little hyaluronic acid. All of the above effects will be with you until the first wash.
Rating: average.
Librederm BB Hyaluronic All-in-One Cream
perhaps a laudatory post
Hello, dear girls! Recently there has been a wave of negative reviews on the brand’s products, but I’ll share my positive experience of using the brand’s foundation, but I must say that this is the only product I’ve tried from Librederm. As a prologue, I will say that my skin is dry and reactive, and choosing a foundation for me is a complex process, accompanied by thoughtful reading of reviews and ingredients, I gravitate towards drugstore BiBics and luxury foundations, the skin dictates its own rules. I've been through a great many foundations/fluids/foundations, and very few of them suited me, and I can recommend even fewer. This one I can.
Packaging:
a blue tube made of light plastic, a lot of inscriptions around the perimeter, which is typical - they have not been erased after almost a year of use. The dispenser is without a pump, we press and get cream, it can spit, we adjust the pressure. Oh, yes, the tube is packed in a cardboard box, thank you from me, I’m an amateur, but practically it’s possible without it, because all the information from the cardboard is duplicated on plastic. Amount of cream: 50 ml.
Smell:
very weak, association with Ballet cream.
Compound
I won’t comment in detail, because I don’t have a scientific degree in chemistry. I can only say that it is quite gentle for my dry skin, it’s also cool that silicone is not in the first place and camelina oil with hyaluronic acid is definitely a plus. And, logically, titanium dioxide in 4th place should provide some kind of protection against UV rays, but I did not find information about the level of protection on the packaging.
shade
, in my opinion, quite neutral, brilliantly adaptable, tested on people of different shades
My face is much lighter than my hand, but when shaded, it blends in with both the skin of my hands and the skin of my face.
Properties and application
Let's talk now. The texture of the cream is the lightest and most delicate, similar to a fluid, tactile and charming sensation. It spreads easily, but hardens quickly, so shading as quickly as possible will help us. I recommend applying with your fingers; brushes and sponges greatly increase consumption. The coverage is light. Obvious redness will not be hidden, so I mask spot problems with a corrector. Otherwise, the cream evens out skin tone, hides blackheads, gives the face a fresh look, and has a defocus effect in photographs. I can’t say anything about matting, because it’s not particularly relevant, it’s not a star, it doesn’t shine. But as for moisturizing, I declare that it moisturizes, in principle, you don’t need to use a moisturizer under this BB. And a very important point: it does not create a nasty film on the face (I expected glycerin in the second place in the composition), does not emphasize peeling, does not provoke inflammation and does not clog pores. I’m writing now and I envy myself. Next, I tested the product in the cold: it protects against overdrying. In hot weather: does not leak. In the rain: charming stripes and dots from water droplets do not appear. The finish is satin.
And now the deadly number: a face without makeup. Tired, workaholic and sleep-deprived skin, few blackheads, medium pores and tede.
Skin with BB
Collage for clarity. The first photo is after, the second is before.
Well, 20 minutes after application, with makeup. Shrinkage has also occurred regarding durability - this is how the skin will look before makeup remover.
To summarize: I recommend trying it for those with dry, combination dry and normal skin. The cream fulfilled all my requirements: tone evening, durability, light moisturizing/protection from overdrying, beautiful finish of the product. I will absolutely buy another one for myself when this tube runs out, because this cream has significantly reduced my time for makeup in the morning. Yes, for evening events I use other means with other special effects, but that’s a completely different story...
Price: about 500 rubles.
Rating: well 5, we are friends.
Diana was with you, happy to answer any of your questions. I send rays of goodness to everyone while the sun holds back the rays of warmth

Primer HYALURONIC Librederm
I do not encourage such a generous application of cosmetics to the skin of the face, judge for yourself - in the morning, after washing and toning, a woman should apply a moisturizing serum, cream, cream for the skin around the eyes, primer, foundation or BB cream to the skin of the face. And all this in order to create a perfectly smooth skin surface.
I believe that in the morning it is quite possible to get by with just one serum and a good foundation. But let's take a look at the composition of the primer from the hyaluronic collection from Librederm - maybe I will change my mind.
Chemical composition:
- Aqua (Water), Cyclopentasiloxane - silicone, see above.
- PEG-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate is a mixture of polyethylene glycol, fatty acids and glucose. Multifunctional component - emollient, surfactant, emulsifier, emulsion thickener. Non-toxic to skin. Refers to "good" ingredients.
- Ethylhexyl Stearate is an analogue of stearic acid. Fatty acid, emulsifier, emulsion thickener, helps to mix the cream components with each other. Non-toxic to skin. Softens the skin.
- Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol that can be obtained either synthetically or from coconut oil. Emollient, stabilizer and emulsion thickener, promotes deeper penetration of other active ingredients of the cream. Does not irritate the skin and is considered a good ingredient for the skin.
- Dimethicone - silicone for smoothing the surface of the skin.
- Boron Nitride Powder - powder for mattifying the skin, see above.
- Caprylyl Methicone is silicone and emollient, non-toxic to the skin, a “good” ingredient.
- Camelina Sativa Oil - camelina oil, see above.
- Glycerin, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Cetearyl Methicone, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Hyaluronic Acid, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Boron Nitride, Sodium Polyacrylate, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerine, Trideceth-6, Tetrasodium EDTA, PEG/PPG -20/23 Dimethicone, PEG/PPG 18/18 Dimethicone
