Product description: An oil-controlling and skin-mattifying BB cream that keeps skin fresh and matte with vitamin-enriched peach extract and sebum-regulating green tea.
Product comes in casual squeezy tube (i call it 'casual' as very popular among BB creams is tube with little pump), cap. 30g. The tube is in cute cardboard packaging.
It's available in two shades, #1 Light Beige and #2 Natural Beige - I went for #1, which is perfect - looks bright, but healthy bright, not vampire pale ;)
Cream has a lovely peach smell.
The consistency is quite thick, so application may be a little problematic. It smudges when spreaded, so it's much better idea to pat it, however you must be careful as it's easy to put too much. Thanks to thick consistency you can easly layer it up, which guarantees us a good coverage, but unfortunatelly thicker layer doesn't look natural on skin. So i guess it could be alright for people who like more foundation-like look. I personally prefer natural look - if I have to choose between natural look with some of my scars visible or mask on a face with all my scars covered - I prefer the first one.
And here we comes to why I couldn't get this cream right - it just took me a while to find the right amount to apply. I also tried different ways of application - fingers, brush and sponge - and found out that sponge works the best, gives the most natural look.
Another thing about this BB you should be aware of is that it makes all dry patches and irregularities very visible. It helps you find some dry skins about which existence you had no idea. One day it made something very wierd and very cakey to my forhead. Yuck! Then I used scrub (it is not recomended to use scrub on acne prone skin very often...), tried once more and there it is - beautiful, evened out skin, ta-dah! So now i know, to just not use it if I haven't scrubbed for a while.
As it comes to the matte effect - it is indeed more matte that for example Missha, however it's not a full foundation-like matte, still glows skin a little bit.
I also didn't notice any sebum control - as usual, my skin began to shine after approx. 2 hours. After blotting skin looked alrgiht for the next couple of hours. But you must be careful during blotting, because this cream is quite easy to wipe off.
Peach Green Tea BB Cream has a SPF20 PA+.
Price of full size product: from £5 on e-Bay.

Summing up, this BB Cream is not some kind of miracle. I think that my mistake were too high expectations. However it's not a bad product, considering low price. I am quite happy that I tried it out, but I am not sure if I will buy it again.
