What is the difference between BB cream and CC?

Companies with dermocosmetics appear to be drawing their inspiration from the alphabet and calling their creams BB and CC.

What is behind these initials and what are their differences? Let us know correctly before we choose. The common feature of all these products is that they hydrate the skin while giving a light color that covers the imperfections. But what difference does BB Cream have from CC Cream? Is it suitable for me?

BB cream (Blemish Balm) is a cream that deeply hydrates while camouflaging redness and imperfections. Essentially this is a moisturizing care that works as a makeup and promises a uniform color and shine. Usually it does not provide satisfactory sun protection in the months of intense sunshine, even when some brands incorporate sunscreen filters in their composition. It is suitable for women up to 30 who suffer from acne and imperfections and BB cream is the one that will camouflage them. But it can also be used in women with dry skin that do not make a lot and want a fresh look on their skin. It can also be used as a care after aesthetic medicine such as laser, botox or peeling.

CC Correction (Color Correction) is a corrective skin care that has been developed to correct the skin's color defects: redness, sunburn, dyschromia. It is the successor of BB cream with an in-depth care, but a lighter coverage and a more neutral effect without replacing makeup. In contrast to the BB cream that covers defects, CC cream, thanks to its active corrective ingredients that aim at blemishes and make the skin lighter, can ideally act as an ideal base for makeup. It is suitable for women over 30 years old whose skin tends to be more sensitive, less tolerant and less greasy. For best effect makeup should be used in combination with a liquid make up.

Expert Opinion
Generally, these "hybrid" creams are interesting for women who do not have any particular skin problems and are looking for simple, everyday solutions. But they do not fit all skin types, although they are very "smart" products. Because they combine many effects at the same time, they have rich composition with different ingredients, which is not recommended for the most sensitive skins looking for simple compositions. It is also not recommended if your skin is too dry or dehydrated.
Moreover, in special cases, such as skin with eczema, or atopic dermatitis, or skin with broken diffuse and reddish vessels, it is preferable to look for a specialized dermocosmetic cream suitable for your problem.
In conclusion, we can say that these creams may be very effective for some women, but in some others they may not have the desired effect. Before you hurry to change cream, consult your pharmacist and do not let your fashion get drizzled.
