What the gurus are saying

Experts split sharply on this cream. Some reviewers found it problematic: gray undertones that oxidize darker over time, a heavy texture that magnifies pore appearance, and persistent dryness that particularly bothers mature skin. Others genuinely love it. If pores or dryness concern you, swatch it carefully first to see how it performs on your own complexion before committing.

All 10 takes from No BS Beauty

Skincare Minimalist Morning Routine Featuring New Anua Serum, Rhode & More!

"The Purito Relief Sika BB Cream is a good alternative. This one's got a lot of shades as well. So when I travel, this is what I bring because it takes up less space in my suitcase."

I've Tried Dozens of Foundations - Here are the Only Ones I'd Recommend - Foundations & BB Creams

"The Purito Cica Clearing BB cream ended up being one of my top two favorite, most repurchased foundations over everything. The nice thing with the Purito one is it's pretty affordable. So if I'm going to be spray tanned, I have a tube for that. If I'm not spray tanned, I just have my regular day-to-day product."

Empties - August Skincare & Beauty Products I've Finished This Month

"I repurchased in [...] this shade and I really enjoy it. [...] There's no strong scent. There is fragrance ingredients, but there's no real noticeable scent to it. And I find the color to be pretty [...] easy to work with based on your skin tone. It's pretty flexible."

Spring Morning Routine - Skincare, Makeup, and Haircare Routine - Dry, Sensitive Skin

"I have one more left. I think I'm going to go with the Purito Relief Sika BB Cream because that so far has been the closest alternative to this one."

"You've got to apply a good amount of it, but it feels really nice. I apply it with a damp beauty blender sponge and it's nice. So this is what I'm wearing today as my foundation. And I think it has a little bit of sunscreen in it, but not much. So keep that in mind. But six different shades, 10 bucks. You can't find any other foundation really that works for that much, and it has no scent to it, and it's really nice. And I've been using this for years."

"After I'm finished with this there's Purito has a nice BB cream I'm going to use or I really like this one"

"I picked up the Purito Relief Sika BB Cream in a few different shades and I've gone through one, two of it already. It's nice, it doesn't have any scent to it which makes it a nice option. It [...] has titanium dioxide in it which is probably good."

January Skincare & Beauty Product Empties - Beauty Products I've Finished This Month!

"I love this BB cream. It's amazing. They reformulated it probably about two years ago. The gold BB cream was really wonderful. I used that a lot. So this is my current go-to BB cream. I like that it has mineral sunscreens in it. [...] It has fragrance ingredients, but it doesn't have a scent to it. So, I like that."

Morning Routine Feat. New Skincare from Iunik, Skin&Lab, Beauty of Joseon & More

"The other foundation type product I enjoy is the Purito Cica Clearing BB cream. It's one of my top three favorite foundation type products right now, though it doesn't give as much coverage as [...] a normal foundation."

"Purito is very affordable, so I really wanted to like it, but this one goes to my C. When I swatched it on my skin it looked great at first, but as time went by it looked ashy on me, and the texture is a bit dry so I could see too much lines on my skin. I don't recommend it for dry mature skin, it's going to be terrible. At least for my Asian skin tone, I think this would be my C."

I Tested 12 Viral Korean BB Creams—Which One Wins?

I Bought EVERY Viral BB Cream to Find the Best One

"Purito released a lot of different shades and it does have a gray shade in there, you can try the olive tone, but this was my worst out of everything I tested, and when I tested it with my makeup artist friend Yuna it was her worst too. I think it has too much gray shade compared to other brands, and even though a BB cream should be creamy, it felt heavy and thick."

Ultimate Viral BB cream Guide: Game-Changing Tips No One Tells You

"Between six different products I tested with three makeup artists including me, four people say this is the worst. I think it's the cheapest, don't buy this, don't buy this, too gray, too dark. It even oxidizes so the color becomes darker than it already is. When I went to wash my face, where I had applied this my pores looked huge, like I had put on matte foundation, it was not cute. If you have oily or combo skin and you're worried about pores, stay away, save your money."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
