I did not know that Etude House has a new cushion other than the Real Powder variant. I grab this immediately but I did not have high hopes on this one because the AC line is meant for those with acne and troubled skin which is obviously not my skin type. I got it anyway because I am really into cushion bb/foundation.
Before going to the review, let me give you a background on my skin condition: I have a yellow medium skin tone. In MAC, my shade is NC30. I have an acidic skin, thus, I usually purchase foundations or powder that are one shade lighter than my skin color. I have super dry and sensitive skin. Due to preganancy, my psoriasis flare ups got worse. I have psoriasis patches on my forehead and in between my brows and on the brow area.
What Etude House claims:
1. Chemical free inorganic formula with an effective cover effect.
2. It controls the skin balance with 60% of skin soothing and moisturizing Teatree, Madecassoside, Salicylic acid contents.
3. It naturally covers a sensitive skin without irritation or causing a trouble.

Just like the Real Powder Cushion, this is housed in a slim compact and weighs 14 grams. Compared to the bulky casing of other cushions, this is really more lightweight and is space saving in my kikay kit. It also has that click/snap on lid that has lock function preventing the cushion from drying up. It has a mint green color colored compact which looks really clean. The sponge that came with it is fluffy and smoother compared to the rubbery blue cushion sponge of other cushion bb products of Etude House. It comes in three shades: Light Beige, Natural Beige and Honey Beige. Just like my Real Powder, I got this in the shade Natural Beige which has a yellow tone. Natural Beige is a shade lighter than my skin tone but since it has yellow undertones, it blends well my skin color and gives off a brightening effect.
Upon opening the lid of this cushion, I instantly noticed the fresh and clean green tea scent (parang green tea ahh I am not really good at describing scent.. ). I love the scent so much.
To my surprise, I am so in love with this cushion!!!!!! I was not expecting that I will love this more than the Real Powder variant. I find myself reaching for this compact everytime I go out of the house. This has a nice pigmentation and can cover some discolorations. It can also tone down the redness of my rashes. I do need to conceal my undereyes and some of my prominent rashes and discolorations. What I love about this is that this feels so light on the skin yet it delivers a decent coverage and natural finish! I can also layer the product without fear of caking or product build up. I love the fact that it has a high physical sunscreen of SPF 50+ PA+++.
Due to the hydrating properties of this BB Cream, this does not cling on the dry patches on my face. I also notice how refreshing this cushion bb feels when worn. (Or guni guni ko lang ito!!) This does not make my skin look greasy nor oily by mid day. This Cushion BB has a natural finish which is great for everyday wear.
Godbless
