It’s counterintuitive, but sometimes, the makeup that gives us the best coverage isn’t actually covering up much at all. CC and BB creams, products that minimize imperfections while letting natural complexions shine through, are refreshing alternatives to heavy foundations and concealers. Best of all, color-correcting creams (CC creams) and beauty balms (BB creams) improve the quality of your skin with every use.
Shoppers say it leaves a radiant finish that makes your skin glow. You can wear it over your moisturizer—or you can completely skip that step knowing the BB cream has you covered.

“[This product] adds a healthy glow without being too shiny or too matte—sheer but build-able coverage, and easy to apply and even re-apply mid-day without streaking or cakey-ness or making skin look flakey,” another fan adds. “Does not gather in fine lines and pores like others I have tried. My new holy grail!”
And they are not alone. Another notes, “I finally ditched my foundation for this BB cream on the advice of my daughter. I have very good skin for 60, but foundation made my skin look pasty and more wrinkled. This product blurs the imperfections. It gives a nice glowy look and provides sun protection. I’m sold!!”
Even shoppers with sensitive skin think the non-comedogenic product is “heaven-sent,” revealing it’s the only thing they’ve found that hasn’t irritated their skin—even when they wear it to the gym. And while more is more when it comes to sun protection, customers prone to sunburns say the “magical” cream has helped minimize burns and freckles during spring and summer.
