I'm always interested to try a product that has brightening effect, because I am a fan of bright skin, even weirder, I'm a fan of pale skin. This, I think, is a matter of personal taste. Don't relate this with racism or other issues, because it's really up to people if they like white skin or dark skin; tanned skin, yellow skin, even alien skin (oh come on, it's not The Sims). But what important is...choose the safest way to achieve your favorite color. Me, myself, is not really pale, even kinda tanned a bit because of my outdoor activities, but I'm not and won't be interested in buying instant whitening nor inject something to my body with some substances in order to make my skin paler. Nope. Too risky.

Why I talked about bright/white skin?! Because this post will be about a review of one product from Dr. Jart+, called V7 Beauty Balm. V7 is actually a series of products that has whitening and anti-wrinkle effect, and V7 Beauty Balm is one of it. There are also toner, serum, emulsion, and spot treatment. Plus, it contains seven vitamins. That's why they are named V7. Oh! This maybe the safest way to get white skin.

I've attended the launching of V7 and already posted here. You may go to that post to see the detail of V7.

V7 Beauty Balm is...well, you know it by 'BB Cream', BB for Beauty Balm. And as we all can see from the package, it offers perfect protection from UV/UB, seven vitamins complex, and natural looking coverage.

Perfect Protection From UV/UB

This Beauty Balm has SPF 30 / PA++, which is ideal for everyday sun protection. Worry not if the sun will burn face, because this beauty balm will protect it.

Seven Vitamins Complex

V7 Beauty Balm is a multi-functional BB Cream. Not only for coverage, this also nourishes skin with its 7 vitamins; A, B3, B5, C, E, F, and H.

Natural Looking Coverage

It will hide the imperfection without looking cakey.

My impression after several times applying this BB Cream to my face is...I like it! First, because it gives good coverage. Not too shiny, too dewy, but matte. Natural!

Left: Before, Right: After

It hides my dark circle, acne scars, dark spots, and gives a really natural result. It lasts long too, not become cakey after hours wearing this.

Second reason why I like it is the fragrance. It smells so good and really relaxing. It doesn't smell like usual BB cream, instead, it smells like a skincare cream with nice scent. I don't know maybe it's kinda like fruit scent or something. The fragrance is not too strong. That's a good point.

And the third reason, the shade is really suit my taste. It really give brighter skin as a result. Here's the swatch:

The contra I have maybe also the same like the point 3 of reason why I like it, which is the shade. It may only suitable for pale to fair skin. Even I like white skin so much, I don't dare applying this too much to my face. I just use a bit of it, even less amount than I usually use other BB cream. My swatch pics explain everything. My hand has darker color than my face. So it give a very clear difference between the area I use and the area I don't use this BB cream.

That's my review of Dr.Jart+ V7 Beauty Balm. Drop the comment to share your opinion. Thanks!
