![]() I like a lot of high end BB creams, but their price often stops me from purchasing them. Overall, I miss L’Oreal Youth Code, but am glad that there still are some affordable substitutes out there. Garnier Skin Active BB cream is another popular affordable bb cream. You can find them and more higher end BB creams here on Amazon. ![]() I also like the NYX BB Cream which is on the lighter side like the L’Oreal Youth Code was. ![]() So, what to do? I like Covergril BB cream for Oily skin as a replacement since I have oily skin. So, unfortunately there isn’t a current L’Oreal product the replace Youth Code BB. I think of it more as an illuminating primer. I I find that it is highly sheer, so unlike youth code, it really can’t replace makeup for me. Like Youth Code, L’Oreal Magic BB Cream is a lighter weight BB cream. It is pictured here with the also now discontinued Etude House Magic Cream, which was an old favorite of mine. So, now that it is discontinued, what can you use instead? L’Oreal suggests the L’Oreal Magic BB Cream. What I liked about Youth Code was that it was more sheer but still more than the average tinted moisturizer.Īffordable BB Creams to Replace the Discontinued L’Oreal Youth Code If you want a sheer makeup look, you can use a light BB cream in place of your foundation. It provided moisturizing coverage, while also including SPF protection and various skin nourishing ingredients. Like most BB creams, Youth Code BB cream was a multi-tasker. Original L’Oreal Youth Code BB Cream ReviewĪs I noted in my original L’Oreal Youth Code BB Cream review, the cream was a BB Cream type of product from L’Oreal that did a pretty nice job of moisturizing, covering, and illuminating. So, I am including some other budget BB creams that I think is a better replacement. Neutralizes the look of redness, evens skin tone, hydrates and perfects Formulated with Beautifying Beads, encapsulated, colour-transforming pigments that. I like their magic BB, but I don’t find it to be a replacement for the discontinued L’Oreal Youth Code. Since this BB cream is no longer avaialbe, I thought I would update my review with information about L’Oreal’s suggested replacement: The similar L’Oreal magic BB cream. ![]() It’s pretty good for larger areas that need to be corrected, I would stick with a thicker correcting concealer for smaller problem areas.In looking back though old posts I came across my L’Oreal Youth Code BB Cream review. My redness is gone for the rest of the day. Because it is a bit darker than my skin, I cover it up with something else (usually foundation or concealer, but whatever I’m using that day works). I rub it around and it becomes more skin toned, and my redness goes away. So, I put a small pump of this green lotion on the back of my hand, then lightly dot it where I have redness. However, it still color corrects! It is magic. The interesting thing about this color corrector is that the light lotion comes out of the tube green, but as you rub it in, it turns into a more skin tone color (yes, it is much too dark to be a good color match for me). It’s pretty easy to turn your whole face green! It’s great! However, you really should only color correct in the problem areas. The great thing about color correcting is that it cancels out your problem color, and in return you get to use a lot less traditional coverage product, whether that is concealer, foundation or regular BB Cream. Instead, I’m going to suck it up and see what happens after I deliver. I’m hesitant to seek anything “more” for my rosacea since I’m about 30 weeks pregnant, and when I’m not pregnant I’m under great control. I do have some redness, I have rosacea and I have good days and bad days. (Read more about color correction makeup.) Yes, using green (and yellow, though that doesn’t work as well as green) on your face will “cancel” any redness. The whole idea behind this product is color correction.
