d program Allerbarrier Essence BB N (Medium)

Happy New Year, everyone! I'll try my best to post this year as well. Well, my first post of the new year is Shiseido d Program Allergy Barrier Essence BB N. This BB cream was released five years ago. The color is medium, but I think a lighter shade would have been fine. The medium shade felt quite rich. Personally, I felt that it had more of a solid coverage, more like a proper liquid foundation, than a BB cream. Be careful with the amount you apply. If you apply too much, it will easily smudge. Shake well before applying. The recommended amount is the size of a 1-yen coin, but even a small amount provides ample coverage. In fact, about 1 cm in diameter was enough for me. For sensitive skin, it left a rather heavy, heavy feeling after application. Applying Kanebo's Mirakore Face Powder afterwards helps prevent smudges. I have dry skin, and this alone caused it to smudge around my nose. Even though it's the middle of winter, I prefer a lighter feel, so I won't be repurchasing once I've used it all. Once it got on my hands, it was surprisingly difficult to remove.

I received a sample. The light shade is quite bright, but it doesn't feel out of place and blends in well with my skin. The medium shade is just right for my skin and is very easy to use.

For the past few years, my skin has been getting worse in the spring, probably due to pollen. Since using this product, my skin condition has improved and it hasn't gotten worse, so this is my go-to for spring. It's smoother than regular BB creams. It spreads easily, so you only need a small amount, and the coverage is satisfying!

This base goes on like a powder foundation, so it might not be for people looking for a dewy complexion! I have a lot of acne scars on my chin, so applying more of it helps hide them!

I purchased d Program because I trusted it, using it as a toner, face wash, and powder. I also ordered a sample from Shiseido before purchasing and tested it out. It actually made my skin sensitive... I didn't realize it was a single-use sample, but using it daily would cause rashes after removing my makeup. I then soothe it with Ihada's Plus Screwed at night, but I think it's too harsh on my skin. It's a BB cream but not heavy, like a tinted sunscreen, and spreads very easily. Even though I have a large face, a 1-yen coin-sized amount spreads over my entire face. It doesn't completely hide pores, but it does cover uneven skin tone and roughness. It's not very durable, but for light outings, this and the powder were just right. This one bottle provides UV protection and evens out uneven skin tone, is lightweight, and I used it daily if it suited my skin. d Program is a brand for sensitive skin, and it's functional and comfortable, but I guess not everything works. Unfortunately, I won't be repurchasing.
