Short for blemish balm or beauty balm, BB creams have created a stir in the beauty world since their inception. It is a multi-tasking skincare product that hydrates, mattifies, and illuminates the skin, offering foundation-like sheer coverage.

Unlike heavy cream formulations with comedogenic ingredients that hamper oily skin, BB creams are formulated with ingredients like zinc oxide, titanium oxide, hyaluronic acid, and a blend of vitamins and antioxidants. Hence, these creams offer the benefits of makeup and skincare in a single product.

Owing to their high demand amongst beauty enthusiasts, multiple beauty brands curate BB creams in amazing formulations. This listicle is an amalgamation of the 10 best BB creams that suit oily skin.
