Originating from Korea like BB cream, CC cream is a versatile all-in-one skincare-makeup hybrid. Unlike BB cream, which primarily evens and smooths the complexion with some skincare benefits, CC cream acts as a daytime moisturizer packed with anti-aging ingredients. 'Color Control' means its pigments adapt to your skin tone for a natural glow and radiance—without heavy coverage. It typically offers superior sun protection, with SPF 30 or 50.
Apply after serum (if using) to face and neck. Follow with foundation, concealer, powder, or BB cream for your full routine.
