mini blogs #12：The Must-Have Makeup Item: CC Cream
You’ve probably heard of or used BB or CC creams before—but did you choose the right one?
BB cream was originally developed by German dermatologists for post-procedure skin. Its main functions are concealing imperfections, evening out the skin tone, and providing some degree of protection. BB creams usually have a thicker texture and stronger coverage.
CC cream, on the other hand, focuses more on Color Correcting. It evens out skin tone using optical principles or complementary colors. For example, green-tinted CC creams can neutralize redness, while purple or peach tones can brighten sallow complexions.
Think of CC cream as an upgraded version of BB cream. It was designed to comprehensively address skin imperfections, offering a lighter, more breathable finish while correcting uneven skin tone.
◆ Four Reasons to Choose CC Cream
1.Lightweight and Hydrating Texture：Compared to BB cream, CC cream usually feels lighter and more hydrating, with less of a powdery finish. It creates a naturally bright complexion—as if you were born with great skin—rather than a heavy, made-up look. Ideal for fans of minimal makeup or a “no-makeup” look.
2.Perfect for Uneven Skin Tone, Redness, or Dullness：CC cream excels at correcting complexion issues, whether on specific areas or all over the face. It helps your skin look cleaner and more even. If you struggle with redness, acne marks, dark spots, or sallow skin, CC cream offers a more targeted solution than BB cream.
3.Enhanced Skincare Benefits：Modern CC creams often include more skincare ingredients, such as moisturizing agents, brighteners, antioxidants, or anti-aging essences. While applying makeup, you’re also caring for your skin. Some products can even replace your day cream.
4.Simplified Pre-Makeup Routine：Many CC creams combine sunscreen, color correction, and primer functions. For busy professionals or makeup beginners, applying just one product after basic skincare can complete your base makeup quickly—no need for a dozen different bottles and steps.
◆ Why Use CC Cream When You Already Have Foundation?
If foundation is meant to create a “flawless canvas,” then CC cream helps make your natural canvas appear more even and radiant.
Using foundation typically involves more steps:
Skincare → Sunscreen → Primer → Foundation → Concealer → Setting Powder.
While this can produce a more refined, long-lasting finish, it’s also time-consuming.
CC cream, however, often combines sunscreen + primer + tint + skincare into one product. After basic skincare, just apply CC cream to quickly complete your sun protection and base makeup.

CC creams place strong emphasis on skincare. Many are enriched with high concentrations of moisturizing agents (like hyaluronic acid), antioxidants (like vitamins C and E), or soothing ingredients. It’s like daytime skincare with a tint.
