Erborian excel at ‘alphabet creams’: they scooped Gold in both the BB Cream and CC Cream categories in our Beauty Bible Awards 2017/2018. So when it comes to instantly perfecting products, they’re up there in a class of their own.

Now comes a completely stellar addition to the alphabet line-up: You can either add a drop or two to your day cream, for extra radiance – or blend into your foundation, to give it an extra glowiness. (And as the light shifts at this time of year, that’s a great idea.) The perfect antidote to the current epidemic of skin ‘blahs’, these are enriched with skin-awakening ginseng, and have a fantastic, skin-blurring cosmetic effect.

We’ve been using a drop of two mixed into day cream (a dollop of that in the palm, then mixing in the BB Drops), on weekends, and haven’t felt the need for foundation.

So in this case, ‘BB’ could stand for ‘Bloody Brilliant’, so far as we’re concerned.
