What is a CC Cream?
CC cream is a marketing term coined in the wake of the marketing term Blemish Balm cream or Beauty Balm.
“CC cream” is used by some brands to mean Color Control cream or Color Correcting cream, and some brands claim to reduce the appearance of skin redness or sallowness or to improve uneven skin tone.

Does CC cream brighten skin?
CC stands for “color correction” and that’s exactly what CC creams are designed to do. They can help to even out your skin tone, reduce the appearance of redness or discoloration, and brighten your complexion. This is especially beneficial if you have issues with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or dullness.
Should CC cream be lighter or darker than skin?
For everyday makeup application, BB and CC creams are the way to go without adding a full mask on your face.
You should also make sure to “use a shade up and darker than you’re used to,” suggests Robinette. “The lighter color will highlight the areas that you want to cover, while the darker will offer coverage.”
Does CC cream count as makeup?
Generally, BB and CC creams are multipurpose products. They combine makeup and skin care in a single formula. Depending on the ingredients, BB and CC creams be used as a: primer.
