i believe foundations are designed to cover dark facial spot n blemishes amongst other things, the main point is to make us girls feel good and confident when approaching the public eye. i however, have never used it before, so on trying out the new pond's BB i was kind of scared of how i would look, when i finally used it, it gave me numerous surprises but the very first was "what!!!, it really blends in with my skin" i then smiled. later that day i met up with a friend and she complimented my skin(face) so now i was even more confident. i tried using it daily there after and it gave me good results everyday and today was my day 5 and i have noticed that the dark spots around my eyes are starting to get lighter without even using the cream. it is really working for me and i have not discovered any complication so far. i will definitely get myself a new one. it is a must have piece of make up for girls.
