We couldn’t find much information on this.

For oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types, we recommend the Canmake – Perfect Serum BB Cream or the Kose Sekkisei White BB Cream as they both provide proper coverage, are cheap, and are free from harmful ingredients.

For dry and sensitive skin types, we recommend the Shiseido BB Cream or the Curel BB Milk Cream. Both of them are good and free from harmful ingredients.
