Louise Thompson, star of Channel 4’s Made in Chelsea, has revealed her current go-to beauty product that she claims gives her a “glowing complexion” and “bouncy skin”. The reality TV favourite took to Instagram to showcase the remarkable results of the cream, available at Boots, on her skin.
In her post’s caption, she declared: “No Botox here. Just good skincare.” In the video, she expressed her enthusiasm for the product, saying: “I have found a new base product for my skin that I absolutely love.
“Okay, so this went completely viral all over the internet. Everybody was banging on about it. I needed to see whether it was worth the hype. This is the Erborian BB cream with Ginseng.”
Thompson detailed the multifunctional benefits of the Erborian BB cream, explaining: “It is a moisturiser, a BB cream, an SPF all in one.” She gave her followers a closer look, enthusing: “Look at that colour. It is perfection.”, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Impressed by its effectiveness, she continued: “And that glow, it’s not a foundation, so it’s a lot more lightweight. And it gives you that really beautiful, glassy skin look. Guys, look at this skin. I didn’t add any concealer. This is just the Eborian BB Cream. And I love it when I discover a product like this that I get to share because it just makes my job so fun.”
In a flood of positive comments, one admirer said: “In the best way possible I am shocked you said no botox your skin is PERFECT! Amazing.” Another eager follower commented: “I need to try this!!” A third ventured: “You are glowing tbf.” A third fan put: “You look glowing at the end.” And yet another shared: “Love this stuff, your skin always looks on point.”
The much-raved-about Erborian BB cream with Ginseng can be yours from Boots for £37.80. While the price might seem steep for a single tube, it’s backed by countless five-star reviews from satisfied customers.
Originally priced at £42, the cream has seen a small price reduction. For those looking to save, Amazon offers it at the more wallet-friendly price of £20.50, though availability varies in size and shade, as does delivery time.
Dubbed as “half skincare, half makeup”, this tinted cream is available in five shades and aims to instantly give your skin that sought-after “baby skin” effect. Boasting a lightweight formula and gradual coverage, it smooths and unifies your complexion without creating that dreaded cakey look.
Infused with Erborian’s signature White Ginseng complex—a Korean active ingredient acclaimed for its smoothing effects—Boots assures that “it cares for your skin every day.” Also noteworthy is its vegan composition, which includes SPF 20, offering protection from harmful sun exposure.
The Erborian BB cream promises to seamlessly blend into your skin and provide a host of benefits, including:
- Even out and perfect the complexion
- Conceal small imperfections
- Visibly refine skin’s texture
- Moisturise, for ‘bouncier’ skin
- Leave a velvety, non-greasy finish
The Erborian BB cream contains ginseng, which can be good for your skin. It helps with reducing signs of ageing and puffiness, improves skin tone, and increases the skin’s natural radiance.
Numerous reviewers have shared their experiences with the Erborian BB cream on Boots’ website. Vic, who has used the product for a year, raved: “I’ve had lots of compliments on my skin it really brightens it up, I like it best with the primer but do use it on its own sometimes.” Mary praised: “It blends easily and gives a natural, radiant finish.”
Carol admitted: “I often get seduced into trying other makeup, and have spent a fortune on them over the years, but unfailingly return to Erborian bb! More shades would be amazing though!” Aziza discovered her new go-to foundation, commenting: “Found my new ultimate foundation. It is really good, lasts the whole day and looks like your second skin.”
Lisa, who had tried numerous other products, found success with Erborian, saying: “I had tried everything before this BB cream. L’Oréal, Lancôme, Dior. Everything is heavy coverage and drying. I have mature skin and I need to keep it moist. The day I tried Erborian bb cream, everything changed.” Kasia said: “Fantastic product, with light to medium coverage, baby skin glow effect, no sticky, stay on for 8 plus hours.”
However, not all reviewers were completely satisfied. Sarah mentioned that the product didn’t blend well, saying: “My partner commented that I looked like a geisha, didn’t blend in well at all.”
Another reviewer noted that the product seemed to suit only a limited range of skin tones, commenting: “The product does seem to be good just only for a very select few with matching skin tones.” Helen found the shade too pale, stating: “Too pale for me, the photo guide didn’t show the true colour. I will not be able to use this.”
