All-round tourmaline BB cream 12ml [Discontinued]

This is the world's first BB cream that contains tourmaline which is a sought-after ingredient for skin care and cosmetic products.

The tourmaline protects your skin from UV radiation and maintains the skin clear and supple. Good for daily skin care!

It only takes a minute or two to complete daily skin care to support your busy life. This all-round tourmaline BB cream works as:

(1) Milky/Skin lotion, nutritious cream to moisturize skin and make it supple
(2) Foundation cream, UV protection

It maintains clear and supple skin. You do not need to apply make-up in the afternoon.

Your make-up stays longer when it is humid or hot. The tourmaline BB cream is formulated, so that it is less likely to be washed away by sweat and sebum.

The skin surface is kept smooth as the tourmaline BB cream spreads evenly and does not form layers even when you apply it repeatedly.

The tourmaline BB cream is formulated with ingredients which are gentle to skin.

SPF 15 - 1/15 of burning rays!
The higher the SPF is, the more protection it offers against UV-B. UV rays are categorized as UV-A, UV-B and UV-C depending on the wavelength. UV-B radiation causes skin burn and pigmentary deposits. It is said that repeated exposure to UV-B can cause premature aging skin and induce skin cancer.
The SPF shows the amount of UV radiation required to cause sunburn, relative to the amount required without the sunscreen. Wearing the tourmaline BB cream with SPF 15, your skin will not burn until it has been exposed to 15 times the amount of solar energy that would normally cause it to burn without UV protection.

PA+ - Protective effect against UV-A!
The PA (Protection Grade of UVA) shows a protective effect against UV-A rays that have the shortest wavelengths. It is said that long-tem exposure to UV-A radiation can cause aging skin as it penetrates deep into skin and darkens the skin color.
The PA has three grades as shown below. i.e. The tourmaline BB cream with PA+ has a protective effect against UV-A.

PA+: effective
PA++: fairly effective
PA+++: very effective

The Japan Cosmetic Industry Association defines that SPF 15 and PA+ provide protective effects on your daily life (e.g. taking a walk or going for a shopping). This is why we thoroughly recommend the tourmaline BB cream.

Tips to apply

Begin with a small amount
We suggest you should apply a small amount first and re-apply the cream if not enough. Dark areas of the skin turn into clear in 5-10 minutes to regain the natural color.

Warm up after applying
Warming up with the palms helps the cream to penetrate into the skin in order to make it smooth and supple.

Re-apply to dark areas
You can re-apply approx. 1/3 of the initial amount to dark areas of the skin, so that the areas fade away.

My foundation does not slip off and need retouching all the time! Hi there ☺ my friend gave me a sample of your Crytal AnnA face cream. I am an Australian woman living in Guangzhou and the summer humidity here is unsuited to my skin but this cream is the best I have ever used. It is so thick yet is absorbed quickly and is a great base for make up (now my foundation does not slip off and need retouching all the time).   >> Read more

It not only covers fine wrinkles and helps balance out discoloration but the added SPF 15 protects from the harsh sun! This luxuriant rich cream not only covers fine wrinkles and helps balance out discoloration but the added SPF 15 protects from the harsh sun. I am an English expat currently based in Tokyo, Japan and have yet to find a face cream as suitable for my skin and the humid climate as this. It not only is an effective moisturizer but acts as a great primer for make up. Thoroughly recommended.   >> Read more

I like it because it covers the faults such as wrinkles, dark spots! It covers the faults very well and lasts long, even water proof. But it is little bit oily for the hot weather but good in cold weather.   >> Read more

It is comfortable to apply it. I look forward to an effect as the air gets dry. Reason(s) why I purchased from you: I had terrible neck stiffness. I found this product when I purchased the Biseki cream and decided to try it.   >> Read more
