What Exactly Is Color Correcting Cream?

CC creams are one of the significant trends that have taken the world of cosmetics by storm in recent years. This is not surprising, as CC cream is a winning combination of several essential functions in one application and combines moisturizer, foundation, anti-aging compounds and maximum UV protection.

CC stands for Color Correcting and provides the skin even coverage and noticeable lightning effect. In fact, CC products have been described as the new and more sophisticated generation of the older BB products, which work to hydrate the skin and also correct skin tone and provide a uniform complexion.

While the purpose of BB (Blemish Balm) creams was to correct skin blemishes, and for this reason they were enthusiastically adopted primarily in Asia, where the ‘porcelain doll’ look dominates (and the initial consistency was very dense), CC creams are primarily intended to correct the tint of the skin, reduce redness, provide a uniform and smooth finish and a brighter and fairer complexion. Furthermore, CC cream formulas are usually less dense, and yet, they provide higher coverage than that of BB creams.

Moreover, the advanced formulas of CC creams are in fact multi-beneficial, which has several advantages:

1. Corrects the skin tone and gives it a uniform, smoother and brighter appearance – the pigments contained in these creams cause an immediate change in the coloration of the skin, providing full coverage yet a natural and radiant complexion.
2. Hydrates the skin and helps retain moisture – these creams work to retain moisture deep in the skin structure and reduce water loss from the epidermis.
3. Provides skin protection from the sun – These creams include sunscreens, which provide protection against UVA and UVB radiation.
4. Some CC products also include ingredients that give them the benefits of anti-aging compounds thereby fighting the free radicals that accelerate skin aging and help prevent wrinkles and signs of aging.
