BB creams started out as therapeutic moisturizers in Germany many years ago. Used to treat the sensitized skin of patients who underwent chemical peels and laser, they were formulated to provide light coverage and healing benefits.
Literally translated to as "skin friend" in Korean street lingo, SKIN79 was the first brand to introduce the skin salve to Korean where it quickly became a hit amongst actresses and celebrities.
BB creams typically stand for Blemish Balm because of their healing properties, SKIN79 BB creams however are short for "Beblesh Balm", a unique term coined by the leading Korean label with the widest range of BB creams.
