Does Bum Bum Cream actually firm skin?

The brand markets it as a firming cream with guaraná and cupuaçu butter. Most users report softer, smoother skin rather than visible firming, so treat the firming claim as cosmetic.

How strong is the scent?

It is strong for a body cream. The Cheirosa '62 pistachio, almond and vanilla scent lingers for hours and many people wear it instead of perfume. If you dislike sweet gourmand fragrances, sample it first.

Is it good for dry skin?

Yes. The formula is rich and absorbs well, which suits dry skin on legs, arms and body. On oily or acne-prone skin it can feel heavy.

Can I use it on my face?

It is made for the body. The fragrance and rich texture make it a poor fit for facial skin, especially sensitive or acne-prone skin.

How does it compare with the brand's other creams?

Bum Bum is the richest and most strongly scented of the line. The lighter Brazilian Crush and Beija Flor creams suit anyone who wants less fragrance or a thinner texture.
