BB & CC Creams

BB Cream, which stands for "Beauty Balm" or "Blemish Balm," is a multi-purpose skincare and makeup product that originated in Germany and gained widespread popularity in South Korea before making its way to other markets. It is designed to provide a good balance between skincare and makeup benefits. BB Cream typically offers a combination of moisturization, sun protection (SPF), and light to medium coverage to even out skin tone and texture.

BB Creams are generally lighter in texture than traditional foundations but offer more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. They are often used for achieving a more natural, "no-makeup" makeup look. Because of their multi-functional properties, BB Creams are popular for those who prefer a simplified skincare and makeup routine.

CC Cream stands for "Color Correcting Cream" or "Complexion Corrector Cream," and it's another multi-functional skincare and makeup product, similar in some ways to BB Cream. The primary focus of a CC Cream is to address issues like redness, sallowness, or uneven skin tone, and it generally provides a bit more coverage than a BB Cream. CC Creams are often formulated with light-diffusing particles to give the skin a more luminous, smooth appearance.

BB Cream serves multiple functions by blending skincare and makeup benefits into a single product. It often provides hydration to the skin while also offering sun protection through SPF. In addition to these skincare advantages, BB Cream helps even out minor skin discolorations and redness, giving a light to medium coverage that makes your complexion appear more uniform. Some people also use it as a primer to prepare the skin for additional makeup application.

CC Cream is a multifaceted product that serves various functions, blending both skincare and makeup properties. It is primarily designed to correct color imbalances in the skin, such as redness or sallowness, and is generally more focused on providing coverage than BB Creams.

While BB Cream is ideal for those looking for a natural, "no-makeup" look with some skincare benefits, CC Cream is better suited for those who need a bit more coverage and color correction, often offering additional skincare benefits as well. Both types of creams are popular among people who prefer a simplified skincare and makeup routine.
