Features of CC creams with SPF
Perhaps the most incredible quality of CC cream is the ease with which it adapts to your skin tone. © Getty Images
CC cream is a “smart” toner that can do a lot.
Adapts to natural skin tone.
Makes imperfections less noticeable (but unlike BB cream, does not mask them).
Evens out complexion.
Acts as a foundation or makeup base.
It has all the qualities of complete care: moisturizes, nourishes, rejuvenates, and gives an Anti-pollution effect.
Contains SPF, which means it protects against ultraviolet radiation.
One of the fundamental differences between SS is the lightness of the texture. If foundation creams are aimed at intensively masking (literally covering up) imperfections, then CC acts more delicately, evening out the tone. In this sense, it is closer in functionality to a primer.

No less important than toning and an even complexion for CC cream is skin care. This includes sun protection, which is becoming a mandatory requirement for daytime cosmetics.
To check what sun protection factor you need and whether “thirty” is enough for you, find out your phototype.
Features of the composition
CC cream is a true all-rounder and complex functional product. It most often includes the following ingredients:
reflective particles that allow pigments to adapt to skin tone and even it out due to the optical effect;
antioxidants, vitamins, active ingredients;
sun filters against rays types A and B.
Since CC cream is on the border between makeup and skin care, leaning towards the latter, it is in greater demand than decorative cosmetics.
Protect from burns and redness caused by ultraviolet B rays.
Protect from deeper and more dangerous effects on skin cells, including DNA damage, which is caused by type A rays.
CC cream with broad spectrum sun protection goes everywhere.

How to choose CC cream with sun protection
CC creams are generally suitable for all skin types. But sometimes a manufacturer purposefully develops a CC cream to solve a specific problem that causes the tone to become uneven:
sensitive skin prone to acne and post-acne;
sensitive skin prone to redness, flaking and dryness;
skin aging and fine wrinkles.
CC cream with SPF is the best choice both as a makeup base and as a daytime product for summer care. If you can’t afford a flawless tone even on the beach, choose a sunscreen CC cream.

Clinique Superdefense CC cream Spf30 Very Light
In the Asian market, SS was pushed into the background by BB last year, and now these new 2 letters have reached our shelves.
Of course, it’s interesting how BB differs from SS. Is there a fundamental difference or is this just a new letter in our cosmetic alphabet, essentially no different from the previous one?
There is no unambiguous interpretation of the abbreviation SS. As I learned, even among Koreans the letters SS do not have a specific decoding. Different manufacturers decipher their SS in different ways: these are combo cream and color change cream and correct care cream, in general, what you need is enough imagination
The only thing that is similar is that all SS are aimed at improving complexion.
Clinique also works in the same direction, its CC is Color Correcting Cream.
Superdefense CC Cream is not just a concealer, but a multifunctional moisturizing concealer! Which allows the ever-busy beautiful half of humanity in our turbulent age not to waste time applying several products to the face, but to use only one wonderful product. I, as a representative of this half, appreciated the convenience - the opportunity to free up space in my travel cosmetics bag and instead of cream, foundation and concealer, put only one green tube in there, seriously reassured me.
Remember the “Love at First Spoon” commercial? Yep, that's her.
Judging by the name and the analogy with Asian CC creams (well, I just can’t get rid of this desire to compare everything with the original source), I expected that Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream should adapt to skin tone, I still remember my delight when my The first beep, scaring me with its light color, literally settled on my skin after 5 minutes, adjusted to the color and turned me into a porcelain doll. This is approximately the effect I expected from Color Correcting Cream.
We have 3 shades on the market: Light, Very Light, Light Medium
I have the shade Very Light. But unfortunately I missed the tone. Since childhood, I was called “pale toadstool” because of the light green tint of my skin. Of course, I got rid of green, but I didn’t plan to fight my fair skin, I like myself without a tan. But the shade was created for completely snow maidens. On my skin it just looks like snow and doesn't suit my face at all. This is the only drawback that I could find, and even then it was just a mistake with the choice, but in no way a mistake of the manufacturer, no one promised me an adjustment to the skin, I already invented this for myself.
Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream has an SPF of as much as 30 - this is no joke, we finally got serious protection from UVA/UVB rays. It also contains hyaluronic acid and the moisture-retaining components trehalose and sorbitol; vitamin E, rosemary - that is, everything is clear with hydration.
Also interesting is the information about innovative two-layer lavender-colored particles designed to combat redness, yellowness and sallow complexion; visually, I didn’t notice any lilac-colored innovations in the tube, but Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream masterfully hides redness and freckles.
Another moment that simply floored me was the almost complete smoothing out of facial wrinkles on the forehead. Visual of course. Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream, due to its excellent moisturizing and, apparently, those same innovative particles of lavender shade, perfectly masks and diffuses light across the face in such a way that wrinkles become invisible, and due to its rather dense, I would even say viscous texture, SS - the cream acts as a pore grout, visually hiding and smoothing out all the unevenness. In general, in terms of texture, Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream is closest to Asian BBs, the same density and some kind of plasticine-like feel on the skin.
At the same time, the density of the coating does not create discomfort during the day, Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream is quite durable, it seems to regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands (these are just my associations, the manufacturer did not promise this), during the day my skin has a healthy satin finish without turning into a butter pancake.
It can be used as a concealer under the eyes, but for me this product for the delicate skin around the eyes seemed a little heavy, it seems to me that the Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream has too thick a texture, in my opinion, it would be better for some spots to remain around the eyes than on the face turns into a geisha mask.
Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream is practically invisible on the face. By the way, if you are big-eyed, you can see the wrinkle between the eyebrows in the photo with bare skin and it is practically absent in the photo with CC cream. But I see it, but I don’t know whether you will see it from this angle.
Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream is truly all inclusive for the skin - but at the same time, I would not risk completely giving up skincare products; after all, this is more of a decorative cosmetics.
Thanks to a complex of active ingredients:
- gives the skin a transparent powdery tone, maintaining matte throughout the day;
- provides reliable skin protection from everyday environmental stress;
- helps reduce the appearance of signs of premature aging such as wrinkles, age spots, dullness;
- perfectly moisturizes the skin;
- evens out skin tone, hiding all unevenness and imperfections.
Suitable for all skin types, especially normal to oily skin. CC CREAM SPF 30 is a great alternative to medium coverage makeup.
