Glowy, flawlessly even skin is a must-have for red carpets, catwalks and A-list events. But you don’t need a personal facialist on call to get an HD-ready complexion. BB creams, like Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator, make it super-easy for anyone to achieve a gorgeous, lit-from-within look.

Originally created in Asia to soothe, protect and beautify skin after derm procedures, BB Creams (shorthand for “beauty balms” or “blemish balms”) have become a major beauty trend. These new creams offer multiple benefits in a single formula, cutting down on the need for product layering. They’re a brilliant hybrid of potent skin care ingredients and the flawless effects of makeup.

So why add a BB cream to your beauty regimen? For starters, it’s an amazing multi-tasker. Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator offers 5 complexion-perfecting benefits in a single step: it instantly evens, illuminates, perfects, moisturizes, and protects. Another bonus: skin improves with continued use. After only a week, you’ll notice better tone and texture as well as a healthier overall appearance. Meanwhile, built-in SPF 15 protects from future damage and discoloration.

The cream comes in 2 shades that adapt to nearly every skin tone, so you won’t have to worry about blending in. See? We told you it’s brilliant.
