14 CC Creams We’re Completely Obsessed With

Beauty

The days of a full-on #InstaBeat might be over, but the quest for a natural-looking, flawless complexion surely are not. And thankfully, heavy, full-coverage foundations aren’t your only option for faking it when your skin won’t behave. Color correction (aka CC) cream is a skincare-makeup hybrid that tackles issues like aging, discoloration, and more head on—or face-first, if you will.

Similar to their little sister products, BB cream (which stands for beauty balm), CC creams offer more coverage and assist in smoothing out fine lines or wrinkles. Choosing a formula that already contains broad-spectrum sunscreen is ideal since it will help you eliminate another step in your routine. To assist in your CC journey, we rounded up 14 editor-approved favorites you’ll surely fall in love with.

Lancôme UV Expert Mineral CC Cream

This all-in-one corrector is a favorite for its medium-to-full coverage formula that’s relatively transfer-resistant. The blend-able, breathable, and buildable cream provides much-needed hydration and protection against environmental factors (like, um..the sun thanks to SPF50)…all while ensuring you don’t look greasy, cake-y, or like a sticky mess. Score.

Don’t gag at the price …this French-made (beauty legend Terry de Gunzburg is behind the brand), non-oily cream subtly tints skin—blurring away all the skincare sins you’ve previously racked up. Not only does it instantly plump, but it has a  super-smart color control concentrate for a seamless finish.
