The £12 BB cream has proven popular with shoppers thanks to its hydrating properties. Beauty fans like the coverage so much, they've ditched their usual foundation for the Boots BB cream.

One five-star reviewer raved: "Love this! Superior to others I have tried. Gorgeous light/medium coverage, soft and breathable on the skin. Blends effortlessly and I don’t use any foundation on top as the result is just perfect alone for a light even finish. And SPF 50 which I don’t see a lot in makeup, so a bonus!"

A second said: "Love the texture, just melts into my skin and gives natural coverage. The fact that it's SPF50 is such a bonus, I then don't have to use separate sun protection." A third fan of the £12 cream said; "Brilliant product, covers like a foundation with a dewy glow,my new must have product at age 49."

Somebody else gave the £12 cream five stars, writing: "This was my first time trying this and the colour is perfect. I was surprised how well it covered everything including redness and dark circles. I wear it everyday going to work and it still looks good at the end of the day. I only use a tiny amount as it seems runny but rubs in well with fingers or sponge blender."

Another fan of the cream wrote: "I’d been looking for a foundation to match my skin tone and bought this on recommendation of a mums’ site. So pleased I did. Wonderful coverage and a dewy finish.with the added bonus of the sun projection. Excellent value too."

Somebody else reviewed the age-defying £12 BB Cream, saying: "I love this. The coverage is more like a foundation which is good as a BB is usually too sheer for my uneven skin tone. I normally have to mix BB with a foundation to get the right cover. Be warned that the cream is runny which makes it hard to control when squeezing the tube! I bought the lightest shade as I have pale olive skin and it's a really good match. Easy to blend and long lasting even in 30 degree heat. I have oily skin so haven't noticed the shine other people have mentioned. If you like very sheer cover in a BB I'd say this may not be for you but I've had many compliments on how good my skin looks when I wear this. Definitely buying this again."
