There’s really not that big a difference:
CC stands for ‘colour correcting’ or ‘complexion corrector’; these creams improve skin tone, brightening dull and sallow skin. They focus on age-defying and antiwrinkle properties, but also have the properties of a BB (beauty balm) cream – SPF protection, primer and moisturiser.
We tried and tested 3 CC creams:
Chanel CC Cream Complete Correction SPF 30/PA+++
‘I’m always in a rush in the morning, so a product that protects, moisturises and evens out skin tone is a bonus.’ – Tester 1
Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30
‘The thick formula means a little goes a long way. It covered my blotchy areas for almost the whole day!’ – Tester 2
Almay Smart Shade CC Cream Complexion Corrector SPF 35
‘I have oily skin and this gave me a natural and flawless complexion without me having to add powder.’ – Tester 3
