Our verdict

A light coverage BB cream with salicylic acid that treats breakouts while it evens tone. Coverage is sheer, so it will not hide strong discoloration.

Overview

Bathroom mirror mornings on breakout days are where Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream earns its spot. The tinted balm adjusts to skin tone, blurs pores and redness, and treats acne with salicylic acid while it mattifies.

Maybelline combines acne care and a sheer tint, so oily, blemish prone skin gets coverage that also treats. Salicylic acid can dry out skin, and light coverage will not mask deep marks.

Who it's for

Teens and adults with oily skin and occasional pimples who prefer a barely there finish get the most from this cream. People with very dry or reactive skin may find the acid too harsh.

Performance notes

Salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pore, which is how it clears acne over repeated use. The tint is sheer, so how much it covers depends on how many layers you build.
