[REVIEW] Beyond Angel Aqua Moisture CC cream

This CC cream is the first CC cream I've ever tried.
I didn't know the brand 'Beyond' at first, until I found out Korean actor 'Kim Soo Hyun' is its endorser. That's why I decided to give this brand a try (I know, I'm already biased because of him).

This CC cream claims to have 55% water contents and is 6 free:
- Alcohol Free
- Tar Colorants Free
- Mineral Oil Free
- Animal Origin Ingredients Free
- Chemical Fragrance Free
- Paraben Free

And it also has an SPF25, PA++
The packaging has a light Tiffany blue colour, I think it looks very simple, clean and cute at the same time.

This CC cream has a grey/white/blue colour at first, when you start to blend it out, it will adapt into your own skintone.


Looks very natural, doesn't it?

What I also really loooove is the scent of this CC cream, it has a fresh lemon scent. You can like it or dislike it, depends on your own preferences.

This product can be used as a base or everyday wear for those who only need a minimum coverage. People with lots of (acne) scars (like me), will need a concealer to cover up the scars.  
But since the 'main' factor of CC creams are colour correcting, I think this product is fine. Although it doesn't reduce all the rednesses on my face, I still think it makes my skintone a little bit more even.

Before (I know my skin is bad)

After (Dry areas are more noticeable now)







































As you can see, the coverage really is minimum. I won't recommend this to someone who is looking for something with a high coverage. For those who want something with a natural look, this might be something for you!

I tried this product with and without a primer. Since I have combination to oily (T-zone) skin, it's definitely better for me to wear this with a primer. If I use a primer, I can wear this CC cream for up to 5hrs without creasing. Otherwise, it will start creasing after 3hrs. 

As for the 55% water contents, I personally don't think this CC cream is that moisturizing. If you have cracked/dried areas on your face, it will make it a bit more noticeable. So be sure to wear some moisturizing cream/serum before!


Conclusion

Pros
- Natural finish
- Long wear
- Lemon scent
- SPF

Cons
- Not that moisturizing
- Minimum coverage
