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.
Rating of the best CC creams with SPF
The review includes the best, according to skin.ru editors, CC creams with a high sun protection factor.
Corrective cream with tonal effect for skin prone to redness, Rosaliac CC Crème, SPF 30, La Roche-Posay It is aimed at accurately evening out skin tone. In addition to carefully selected mineral pigments and a sunscreen complex, it contains ambophenol, which has the ability to reduce the permeability of small vessels and reduce their growth. It also contains shea butter, which is close to the skin’s own lipids, and the antioxidant vitamin E.
Corrective cream Skin Best CC Cream, SPF 25, Biotherm perfect for summer in the city.

Primer-mousse for makeup Under Base Mousse CC, SPF 35, Shu Uemura - a classic of the genre, although not in the most familiar mousse consistency. Evens out skin tone, prepares it for makeup, has a high SPF and the lightest texture. A complex of three types of powder mattifies. Designed for all skin types. Economical consumption is another plus of the product.
And finally! The beauty industry has moved from the letter B to the letter C! Applause, friends -)
(As they said in the comments on Instagram, our children will live to see ZZ creams.)
Yesterday, the scientific director of Clinique, Emmanuelle Moirand, came to Moscow to present a new product to the editors: Superdefense CC Cream SPF30.
I was supposed to interview Emmanuelle, but after the presentation I almost ended up in the hospital with appendicitis, so Emmanuelle gave interviews to everyone except me -(.
Emmanuelle interestingly talked about the fact that not only the world is changing around us, but our skin is also changing. The population, firstly, is aging, and secondly, we are too busy and want multifunctional products that provide both an immediate visual effect and long-term care.
The cream, which will be released this June, is Clinique Superdefense Color Correcting Cream SPF30. Its main task is to improve the complexion immediately after application, filling it with radiance, as well as moisturize and protect from sun rays (I’m glad that Clinique does not waste time on trifles and puts a decent level of SPF in its products).
Wall at launch
The main question that worried everyone was how cc cream differs from bb cream (which I dearly love, which I have written about several times). Emmanuelle replied that cc cream primarily works on the complexion, the result of makeup is different: bb cream is more matte, and cc cream brightens, refreshes and allows the skin to better reflect light, giving that same radiance (the holy grail of the beauty industry in the last couple of years there has been this glow).
Then PR Director of Clinique in Russia Lida Bondarenko further explained that the cream uses technology for correcting skin tone using double-layer optical particles of a lavender hue. These particles both remove the redness characteristic of the skin of European women, and the yellowness of the skin of Asian women, and hide the earthy tint, which, in my opinion, can be found in all races. Optical particles mask and scatter light across the face.
As for care qualities: for moisturizing, the composition contains hyaluronic acid and moisture-retaining components trehalose and sorbitol; for protection - solar filters from UVA/UVB rays; and many antioxidants - vitamin E, rosemary, nordihydroguaiac acid and ascorbyl tocopherol maleate. According to Clinique research, 68% of girls who tried this facial moisturizer agreed that it corrected their complexion. It also increases skin hydration by 65%.
They dug up the badge especially for me -)
I asked if it was possible to use the cream in the area around the eyes - Emmanuelle said yes. And I also asked what level of camouflage the cream provides. The answer was a little vague, from which we can conclude that the coverage is light to medium, and cover up anything that is not covered with concealers.
Clinique Superdefense CC Cream SPF30 can be used alone or under foundation. Suitable for all skin types.
There will be 6 shades in the world, only 3 of them will be brought to us. At the presentation I tried light medium and it turned out to be quite orange. But they gave me the lightest one, Very Light, and I sincerely hope that this shade is included in the three chosen for Russia, because it is really very light (maybe even too light! -)).
The texture of the new product is a little powdery. But I’ll write more about this when I try it.
And I will diligently post this on Instagram
