Hey, dear friends! Today I’d like to tell you about Vianek’s foundation, soothing BB cream spf 15, which is definitely one of my least favorite foundations with natural ingredients. I tested the product both in the tube and in the huge amount of samples I got to order at the drugstore, so there were both colors, light and dark. Are you curious why I have such an opinion about it? Feel free to check out my review.
Vianek, Soothing BB cream SPF 15 (two shades)
This lightweight, multi-functional day cream, containing only physical filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), protects sensitive and irritated skin from harmful UV rays. Natural pigments unify the skin tone, correct minor imperfections and brighten the complexion. Thanks to the content of moisturizing (echinacea extract, among others) and soothing (allantoin) ingredients, the cream can be applied alone or be a great base for other color cosmetics. Available in light and dark colors.

Vianek bb cream, my opinion:
The cream visually does not differ from other Vianek creams in the soothing series, it is minimalist and aesthetically pleasing. I was immediately interested in it as soon as it appeared on the market, but I hunted for a long time to buy the light shade. The darker one could suit tanned skin, but unfortunately, too warm a shade would never suit me. The samples I used up mixed with a light pigment or came off as a bronzer.
So I tested the product both in the tube and in the huge number of samples I got to order at the drugstore, with therefore were both colors, light and dark- BB1 and BB2. The light color of the Vianek BB cream is a light beige. It should blend with most lighter complexions. Ostensibly, it is a gentle BB cream that is only supposed to smooth our face, but I still think there should be more shades to choose from. Especially since the product showed up heavily in pigment on the complexion, and sometimes darkened immediately, as if it had oxidized to orange.
Performance and swatches:
Perhaps I had some poorly stored product, or the formula isn’t quite perfected, because I had huge problems with it. Oil was just coming out of the pump, as if the product was delaminating. Shaking it didn’t help, so I finally squeezed a large amount into the jar and stirred it with a spatula. Then I was able to use it, and the mixed product started coming out of the tube. I used it this way some of the time, but unfortunately the narrow opening of the pump quickly became clogged with dried cream, and the formula still delaminated sometimes. So I didn’t use it very often, because sometimes you have to spend a very long time and nerves to use it.
When I had enough of it and just wanted to use it up as a makeup base, the opening dried up almost every time I used it. Perhaps the cream is too thick for this packaging and it (or the formula) would need to be rethought.
The product itself was velvety and a bit greasy, pleasant to spread with fingers, but did not cover major imperfections. For that, it liked to emphasize dry skins and go into pores, so I powdered it with a mineral foundation, then it did a pretty good job. Although sometimes when I apply it in a big hurry it makes slight streaks, but they are easily corrected with a sponge. I didn’t notice that it weighed down during the day, after powdering it didn’t rub off too quickly.
Conclusion:
It is worth investing in organic products, the appearance of our complexion will more than reward us in a few years. Bravo to the brand for creating another natural makeup product. The BB cream from Vainek, unfortunately, does not meet my expectations for the performance of an eco-coloring, and unfortunately I don’t know if I can recommend it, although perhaps the formula has already been improved. I will not purchase it again, as I definitely found it unpleasant to use.
Are you familiar with Vianek’s natural colorant?
