BB and CC creams are multitaskers, combining skin care and makeup to create a flawless finish. Dermstore has handpicked a selection of these key additions to your cosmetics collection. Enjoy beautifully formulated treatments that provide even coverage. Choose from products such as CC creams with SPF and BB tinted moisturizers from leading brands including Supergoop!, tarte, and Erborian.
While BB and CC creams are designed to simplify beauty routines, they have different roles to play. Understanding these differences will help you make the right choice for your skin needs. The "BB" in BB cream stands for beauty balm. It works like a tinted moisturizer providing sheer, barely there coverage that evens the appearance of discoloration. BB cream also has hydrating and moisturizing ingredients like ginseng, which leave skin looking fresh while providing a mattified, velvety feel. CC cream, or color-correcting cream, has similarities with foundation, providing you with similar levels of coverage. However, these creams skip the additional step of applying a color corrector as they're an all-in-one product that smooths your skin's appearance. From reducing redness to covering blemishes and brightening skin, CC cream targets a range of concerns.
As well as multifunctional products, there are also BB and CC creams that focus on key areas. You might want to soothe your skin with a CC face cream packed with glycerin and centella asiatica extract or reduce the signs of aging with a BB cream with de-puffing caffeine and brightening niacinamide. Look out for ingredients that address your key concerns. You'll find SPF in both CC and BB cream products. Zinc oxide is a key ingredient. This mineral, when combined with other ingredients, can block UVA and UVB rays by reflecting and scattering light. There are different levels of SPF available in the BB and CC creams at Dermstore. It's important to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin and reduce the signs of aging caused by sun exposure.
