After the success of the BB creams "Blemish Balms", CC creams were not slow to appear on the European cosmetics market. Another product from Korea, according to a Japanese concept! The goal of this cream that combines - as his big sister BB cream - several actions? Correct the color imperfections of the complexion.
How? Thanks to encapsulated pigments that reveal their nuance only in contact with the skin. Result, the small defects of our epidermis related to the color ( dark circles , rednesses, spots ...) are corrected thanks to a pigmentation perfectly adapted to our needs.
A CC cream against the irregularities of the complexion
If the smart formulas of CC creams first make it possible to unify the complexion, they also correct imperfections and irregularities (shine, skin texture ...) thanks to an integrated care action.
Some combine, for example, a make-up and anti-stain action thanks to precisely selected assets for this purpose. Others have anti-aging, anti-pollution or anti-redness qualities. Generally, this type of product is also accompanied by a UV filter to protect the skin from sun damage, even moderate, in the city.
Finally, some CC creams are similar to complexion bases to mix together to correct local imperfections: green product to correct redness , yellow to reduce dark circles ... etc.
CC cream, a day care in its own right
Like BB cream, CC cream easily replaces several products of the skincare routine.
If you have normal to combination skin, no need to apply a day cream before using it, it performs very well the functions of corrective care, repair, protection and moisturizing.
Between care and makeup, the CC cream is slightly less covering than a BB, which is more like a tinted cream and therefore more easily replaces a foundation . We therefore prefer CC cream if we have the chance to have a skin without too much imperfections and we seek a correction and a unified complexion in transparency.
