Here's the Difference Between BB and CC Creams
With different roles from foundation and concealer, here's everything you need to know about BB cream and CC cream.
The world of makeup has come a long way in recent years, thanks to advancing technology and scientific discoveries. Today, it seems like there's an infinity of products with different purposes for each problem and occasion. For skin, foundation and concealer are still at the top when it comes to making your face look the most polished, but there are two other comparable options with different roles: BB cream and CC cream.
Although the creams have similar names, they both have different functions, depending on your skin type and needs. Here, L'OFFICIEL creates a practical and easy guide to clarify the differences and similarities between these two beloved products.
BB Cream
BB cream, which is an acronym for the words beauty balm, usually has a moisturizing function and evens out the skin tone, offering light coverage, so it's best for those with oily skin. In addition to functioning as makeup, many BB Creams also treat the skin, serving as a dermo-cosmetic. Some even have a primer or sun protection function.
This cream is recommended for those looking for a product to hide small imperfections, so it's the ideal companion for quick everyday makeup.
CC Cream
CC cream, which stands for color-correcting, is very similar to BB cream but is specifically targeted to correct redness and even out skin tone.
This type of product is more suitable for those looking for higher coverage, a sun protection factor, and ingredients that work as dermo-cosmetics. Its dense complication makes it better for those with dry skin.
