When heavy foundation feels like too much of a commitment, but BB cream isn’t giving you the coverage you seek, turn to CC cream. As someone who doesn’t love a full face of makeup but has redness and blemishes I’d like concealed CC cream has made all the difference in my routine. CC cream’s main goal is color correction, but most also have hydrating and SPF benefits as well. Whether you’re trying to camouflage dark spots, acne, fine lines, redness or sun damage, a CC cream can come to your rescue.
The Best CC Creams
1 / 8
IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream ($47)
Why not kick off the list with the most illustrious of the bunch? IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream is beloved by beauty editors and celebrities alike. It provides the coverage of a foundation and the benefits of an anti-aging serum and sunscreen while feeling like nothing more than a cream. Hot tip: They also offer their CC cream with a glowy or matte finish.
2 / 8
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer ($39)
This was one of the first products I ever used, back before I even knew what a CC cream was. I remember the light coverage being just enough to make me less self-conscious about my rosacea, but not too much to make me look like I was really wearing makeup. The formula still does the trick for coverage, hydration and SPF protection.
3 / 8
E.l.f. Hydrating Camo CC Cream ($15)
This drugstore classic will color correct and cover all the bits of your skin you don’t want to be seen with a natural-looking, dewy finish. In addition to providing solid coverage, it also plumps skin.
4 / 8
Eroborian CC Cream ($46)
An indisputable classic, Eroborian’s CC cream is a K-beauty hero. In addition to color-correcting pigment, this formula also features Centella Asiatica extract to help soothe skin and reduce redness. They also offer a green-hued CC cream for extra redness fighting power.
5 / 8
Dermablend Continuous Correction CC Cream SPF 50 ($41)
This non-comedogenic CC cream means business and comes highly recommended by dermatologists. Not only does it provide breathable, no-budge coverage and color correction, but this formula also helps improve skin’s radiance over time.
6 / 8
Thrive Causemetics Buildable Blur CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($38)
This CC cream creates a brighter, more radiant complexion and camouflages any pesky redness. Meanwhile, it’s also keeping skin safe from the sun and adding an extra dose of hydration.
7 / 8
CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream ($38)
The triple Cs on this primer and foundation stand for color control and change cream, and you’ll see why. Expect dewy, natural coverage and SPF protection all from this unassuming tube.
8 / 8
