Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream with Kojic Acid and Tranexamic Acid, SPF 50 PA ++++ ,tone corecting (medium to deep).

From my previous blogpost I made a review for Belo tinted sunscreen. It seems that this products (belo bb cream and tinted sunscreen) may be the same – well the color of the cream (both color light brown) but they are different in a number of ways.

Well starting with the ingredients, Belo BB cream contains Kojic acid and Tranexamic acid. Kojic acid, comes from sake or japanese rice wine has lightening properties that’s why you see a lot of beauty products with kojic on it. Tranexamic acid, had its benefits on the skin it has the capability to remove pigmentation and whitens the skin. As a nurse, Tranexamic acid may have to do something with blood clots so I did a little research to correlate with my review. (Like what I said earlier, the capability to remove pigmentation and whitens the skin)

  • Tranexamic acid, a lysine analogue that inhibits plasmin and is usually used orally to stop bleeding. It reduces production of prostaglandins, the precursors of tyrosine. Tranexamic acid has been used experimentally for melasma as a cream or injected into the skin (mesotherapy), showing some benefit. It may cause allergy or irritation. http://www.dermnetnz.org/colour/melasma.html

It has SPF 50 (reapplication every 50 minutes) PA++++, I tried searching what it exactly means on the net, it’s like a protection grade well the higher the better, I guess. It has tone correcting (medium to deep), it neutralizes the color of the skin and covers blemishes.

I’ve tried this product for almost a few weeks now, it is lighter compare to the tinted scuncreen (I also used it as a primer) as the days gone by, I noticed I only apply little concealer so it means my dark spots have reduced. No oily effects after long use that’s why I use this mostly as my primer.

On weekends when my skin is at rest, when I go out like during early of the day, I use the tinted sunscreen and at the late aftie/night the bb cream.

You can purchase this product at any Mercury or Watsons branches for P395 ish. You can also purchase it a sampleroom Instagram:@sampleroomph or check their website for more Belo products 🙂
