12 Top-Rated BB Creams That Can Simplify Your Beauty Routine — and Protect Skin, Too

There are more than 2,000 5-star reviews for the Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen ($37). This vegan foundation-replacement offers sun protection and redness coverage along with a triple-B complex to help brighten and soften skin, too.

This Erborian BB Cream Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF20 ($22-$39) does the traditional BB cream work of minimizing the appearance of blemishes and protecting your skin from the sun, but this version adds in ginseng which offers extra moisturizing and smoothing results.

ICYMI, beauty balms (a.k.a BB creams) were originally developed in South Korea so it's no surprise this top-rated Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 ($39) is also one of the bestselling ones at Sephora.

This long-lasting Clinique Acne Solutions BB Cream SPF 40 ($40) leaves a velvety matte finish, especially good for oily or acne-prone skin as it also includes silica to absorb oil (and is oil-free itself).

With more than 3,000 total reviews, this Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 ($42) is a popular, hydrating BB cream that can also provide a priming base to any foundation topper.

Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm ($36) not only hides uneven skin tone, it adds in a range of skin-calming botanical actives — like those found in orange and lemon peels and aloe and artichoke leaves.

The water-resistant, mineral-based Coola Rōsilliance Organic BB+ Cream SPF 30 ($52) features 70 percent organic ingredients, including rose stem cells to improve skin's reaction to environmental stressors and fight any early signs of aging, too.

Clinique Age Defense BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($40) features protective antioxidants and SPF to keep skin safe while also improving the appearance of fine lines or blemishes.

The newly reformulated Dr. Jart+ Dis-A-Pore Beauty Balm SPF 50+ ($36) is already earning rave reviews from Sephora shoppers. This silky beauty balm blurs out skin imperfections into a soft-matte finish — and has SPF 50+ for extra sun protection.

The unique Erborian BB Crayon ($26) is a creamy beauty balm in stick form so it's easier than ever to conceal imperfections in just one spot, or build coverage to blend all over your face with a foundation brush, too. There's also hydration-boosting squalane and nurturing ginseng inside, but there's no sunscreen in this option.

Boscia Skin Perfecting BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($38) not only blocks out UV rays but also fights against blue light and pollution, too. Then, ingredients like vitamin B-rich quinoa oil help reduce the melanin deposits that can cause dark spots, and turmeric heals already-done UV damage and elasticity loss.

This Kiehl's Since 1851 Skin Tone Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 ($40) is rich in vitamin C so it adds brightening and clarifying to the traditional sun protection and blemish coverage.
