BB cream

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm or Blemish Base, is a cosmetic item sold in Korea.^{[citation needed]}

It was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.

Originally formulated in Germany, BB cream has in recent years gained a huge following for its skin-regenerating properties and is now also widely used in Asia to provide natural-looking skin coverage. Korean celebrities and cosmetic companies were the first to discover BB cream, and it's popularity has now spread from Korea to Japan and South East Asia.
