Attention, beauty junkies on the hunt for the next best thing: CC creams have finally made it big stateside.
Last year, the BB cream (that stands for beauty balm, or blemish balm), a tinted formula that multitasks as a moisturizer, serum, primer, foundation, and sunscreen, took the beauty market by storm, rapidly becoming a must-have for the busy beauty connoisseur.
Now, color-correcting creams—already a hit in Asia—have been slowly
popping up in the US market. In addition to providing all the benefits
of its BB predecessors, CC creams up the ante by claiming to reduce
wrinkles as well as brighten and correct skin complexion. Read on for
our roundup of the best CC creams out there. Rumor has it that
body-focused DD Creams are already in the works—but no word yet on what
magic they’ll work.
