BB Creams are trending in the US and Korea at the moment and you’ll probably see more to come. So far Smashbox, MAC, and Boscia have introduced BB Creams stateside with a special appearance by Korean brand name, Dr. Jart exclusively at Sephora.
BB Creams have been toned down a bit for the US market but the concept remains the same in some aspects. A creamy base product to flatter many skin tones that offers sun protection and a flawless finish that evens out skin tone. Whitening benefits, pigmentation, and some anti-aging benefits are missing from US versions but hopefully we catch up sometime soon to our Asian friends in the market.
Now that BB Creams are on the rise here what comes next?
That would be CC Creams or Color Control Creams. What’s a CC Cream? It’s the next generation BB Cream.
Jumps up and down! Have you ever heard of CC cream? :)))
CC cream is simply an improved version of a BB Cream. It offers pretty much the same benefits as a BB Cream including whitening, moisturizing, sun protection, and skin repair.
Where as BB Creams offer all these same options CC Creams promise a lighter texture with a non-oily formula (and in some cases a matte finish) plus some will have Vitamin C for better brightening and whitening abilities. CC Creams promise to have a lighter texture with more nourishing ingredients offering a beefed up formula with the ability to repair problem skin better than BB Creams.
CC Creams mainly contain White tea extracts, Green Tea Leaf Extracts, Hyaluronic Acid, Mineral Powder, Macadamia Extracts, Deep Sea Water, Aloe leaf Extracts, and Natural Vitamin E etc...
So it basically provides sun protection, hydration, agents to help soothe and calm skin, anti-aging elements, plus a long lasting formula.
I haven’t personally played with any CC Creams yet and if you have experience using them or heard of them.
Do share! :3
I personally saw this Singapore CC Cream by Rachel K. Never tried them.
Lotsa <3, Avril.
Well initially BB cream I wont pick the one with the most function. bcos it kinda scares me with what type of chemical put in and usually i buy korean products, I don't understand the ingredients. :/ if CC cream is good, hopefully the market will have more of these and we'll get ourselves each tube to try. ;)
ReplyDeleteUntil now I only have 3 BB cream. 2 from Lioele and 1 from Skin Food. :) Still working well but I'm still too lazy to make up lol. Yea, there are really too many chemicals inside of them and I worry that my face will get wrinkles after 20++ :S Anyways, bao yang is better than anything else so better spend more taking care of our complexion than make-uping hahah! If there's such word. CC cream I will go back malaysia and try :) Take care <3
