Hi, i've gone on a trip to HK few mths ago and came back with the much discussed Dr. G Hydra Intensive Blemish Balm SPF 30 PA++. It costs HK$232 which coverts to about SGD$40 or so. They actually have another bb cream called Brightening Balm SPF 30 PA++. I don't know what's the difference between the both of them but i reckon one is highly moisturising and the other has got some face brightening formula as it states on the packaging that it contains arbutin. However, both ingredients labels are identical. So I kind of suspect they are the same thing, perhaps hydra intensive is the older version and brightening balm is the newer version or vice versa. I'm not sure. However, i read some reviews online that the brightening balm is much preferred for it's brightening properties compared to hydra intensive. Does that mean they are not the same thing afterall? Tell me if you've tried it.
I bought my bottle of brightening balm from sasa for $43. Reasonable, considering the price of the other Dr G bb cream i got from HK. But i won't be opening it up any time soon since i have some 10 bottles lying in my cabinet.
Review for Dr. G Hydra Intensive Blemish Balm SPF 30 PA++
Shade: It's a little too grayish. For girls like me who belong to the more yellowish skin tone finds it a little of a mis-match. Luckily, it's minor and blends in well after a while.
Look: It's not really matte, not dewy either. It's a little thicker than the other bb creams, coverage is somewhat like scandal and dodo club.
Oil Control: Oil control is fantastic. It's not drying either. Sometimes i skip the use of my biore UV face coz i don't need the oil control for this bb cream. Finishing it off with powder or not
Remarks: The consistency is extremely creamy, like chocolate ice cream. it's extremely easy to blend and spread. Because of the medium coverage, i don't even need much product. This comes in a 60ml tube, pretty big for a bb cream.

Hi,
Have you tried both the Hydra Intensive and the Brightening one? Can you compare them?
Also, can you post their ingredients lists?
Thanks!
