BB and CC creams are a popular category of cosmetics, but not everyone knows what the real difference is. So let's break down the key differences between these two products and hopefully help you understand which cream best suits your skin's needs.
Main features
- CC creams have a lighter texture than BB creams.
- BB creams have a stronger color-correcting effect and better mask skin imperfections.
- BB creams are usually suitable for dry and normal skin, while CC creams are suitable for combination and oily skin.
- Both BB and CC creams often have SPF sun protection, but it's important to choose the right one for your skin type.
- When choosing a cream, pay attention to its composition and additional beneficial properties, such as hydration or the presence of vitamin C.
What is BB cream and how does it work?
BB cream, also known as Beauty Balm, is a multi-purpose cosmetic product that acts as a lightweight foundation, moisturizer, and sometimes even sunscreen. BB creams are designed to give the skin a natural look while hydrating and evening out skin tone.
What is CC cream and how does it work?
CC cream , or Color Correcting cream , is designed to provide a more even skin tone by reducing redness or other pigmentation imperfections. CC creams are usually lighter than BB creams and are designed to give the skin a natural but slightly more coverage effect.
Differences between BB and CC creams
One of the main differences between these creams is the different amount of pigment in their composition. BB cream has a high pigment content , which makes it easy to mask various skin imperfections. CC creams, on the other hand, have a low percentage of pigment and are characterized by easier masking. For this reason, the latter are almost invisible on the face and completely blend with the skin tone.
BB creams usually have a thicker texture than CC creams, which are lighter and more suitable for skin that requires color correction. After the success of BB creams, CC creams – “color control” – appeared on the market. Their task is to control the color of the skin. They were created to help mask yellow areas of the skin and reddened areas. Therefore, the texture of CC creams is quite different from BB creams.
BB cream is more focused on hydrating the skin and giving it a natural look, while CC cream is more focused on color correction and more coverage. While both creams provide light coverage, CC creams are usually designed to provide a bit more coverage than BB creams.
How to choose the right cream for your skin type?
When choosing between these products, it is important to pay attention to their composition and choose the most suitable for your skin type. It is necessary to mention that both of these cosmetics are also suitable for evening or festive makeup. Often, BB or CC creams, due to their excellent composition, are chosen as a base layer before using professional cream powder. However, when using these creams as a makeup base, it is necessary to match the shades of cream powder and BB or CC cream.
BB and CC creams with SPF
SPF (sun protection factor) is essential to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Regular use of SPF can help prevent signs of skin aging and reduce the risk of skin cancer. BB and CC creams with SPF not only provide color and hydration to the skin, but also protect against the sun .
Remember that SPF is important every day, even on cloudy days.
