American BB creams are kind of like fancy tinted moisturizers, but the original ones from Asia are usually more coverage and contain many skin benefits like anti aging, skin tone perfecting, brightening ingredients, ect. The Asian ones come in more limited color ranges than American ones.

It stands for beauty balm or blemish balm and depending on the brand most of them provide sheer to medium coverage and act as a one step multi-benefit application proving tint, spf, primer, moisturizer and other skin benefits while hiding minor imperfections- sephora gives good details on their website of what they are, what they do and the best bb's for whatever effect you are going for.
