BB Creams...what's all the hype about?

BB Creams have been getting very popular across Asia. Each brand has different versions of it, with different benefits. BB Creams claim to have the function of foundation, concealer, sunscreen, moisturizer all in one, this I believe is the main selling point since it can cut their morning prep time in maybe half?

I've been trying the Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream I bought on Ebay for a few weeks now. The effects have been pretty good. Have been getting nice feedback from my officemates. My skin has been clearer, smoother and less prone to oil. I use the BB Cream as an alternative to the Shiseido Day Moisturizer I've been using for quite some time now. I find that the my skin gets oily after lunch with Shiseido, Skin79 BB Cream lasts a few hours longer, which is pretty good since most of the time am too busy to blot the oil off.

I had doubts about the color of the cream when I first opened it, since it was a kind of greyish hue. But it blended quite well with my skin and the finish is quite nice. I found that the Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream also reduces the appearances of enlarged pores, however, for acne scars, I still have to dab on a bit of concealer.
