You need 2ml of product across your full face to get the SPF on the label. Nobody applies that much. We left SPF out so the formula does its actual job. Apply your SPF moisturiser first, wait 60 seconds, then Second Skin on top. Real sun protection. No white cast. No compromise.

Application +

One pump covers your full face. Blend with fingers or a brush, both work perfectly. One layer gives a natural finish. Two layers gives fuller coverage. Done in 30 seconds.

BB Cream FAQs

Questions NZ women actually ask

PG Beauty BB Cream is a lightweight everyday base product designed to even out skin tone while still looking like real skin. It gives natural-looking coverage without the heavy, cakey feeling of traditional foundation, making it ideal for busy mornings, mature skin, and everyday wear.

Yes. PG Beauty BB Cream is especially popular with women over 40 and 50 because the lightweight, hydrating formula sits more naturally on mature skin. It helps soften redness and uneven skin tone without sinking heavily into fine lines or texture.
