What are the differences between bb cream and cc cream? You will understand everything after reading it!

Most women are very familiar with BB cream and CC cream. They are very common cosmetics. There are some similarities between these two cosmetics, but there are many differences. Some careless girls often confuse the two. In fact, the effects of BB cream and CC cream are completely different. Therefore, you must use them correctly when applying makeup. If you make a mistake, it will seriously affect your makeup.

1. [Origin Comparison]

BB cream is the abbreviation of BlemishBalm. Ever since nude makeup became popular, every woman has envied the natural makeup without any flaws, but it is difficult to achieve without the help of a makeup artist. Therefore, BB cream has become the savior of most women. There is no need for complicated and tedious makeup steps anymore. Just a small bottle can accomplish multiple functions such as foundation, isolation, concealer, sun protection, whitening, etc. No wonder this BB trend continues to this day.

However, although BB cream combines multiple functions in one, it does not maximize the various functions. Moreover, the gray tone of BB cream has always been criticized by the beauty industry, becoming the biggest obstacle to the natural look of makeup. Thus, CC cream was born.

CC cream is an improvement on the basic formula of BB cream and can be said to be an enhanced version of BB cream. It not only retains the original functions of BB cream such as concealing, moisturizing, isolating, sunscreen, whitening, and improving skin tone, but also fully amplifies every detail feature. Therefore, CC cream has a more natural and clearer overall makeup feel than BB cream, and it can gently brighten skin tone without having a heavy makeup feel like BB cream. Even first-tier brands such as Chanel and Lancome have launched their own CC cream products, which shows how popular CC cream is.

2. [Efficacy comparison]

Take the Snail CC Cream, which was launched in 2014, as an example. It is the biggest upgrade in the efficacy of BB cream. First of all, BB cream and CC cream both have the functions of concealing blemishes, nude makeup, sun protection, and whitening. CC cream, on this basis, has added new functions such as brightening skin tone, deep moisturizing, regulating and reshaping face, and moisturizing skin care.

3. [User Experience Comparison]

[Concealer] BB cream has a good concealer effect, but it can easily create a heavy makeup look.

CC cream's concealer effect is relatively more delicate, and it can naturally cover general spots and acne marks, but more obvious acne needs to be fixed with a concealer pen.

[Makeup effect] BB cream can correct skin tone, but it will produce a gray tone, which can make the makeup look more obvious.

CC cream is integrated with magic color-changing technology, which can fully blend the cream with the skin's own tone through color-adjusting particles, achieving a natural, transparent and light nude makeup. At the same time, it can brighten dull and yellow skin tone, making the whole person look better and younger.

[Long-lasting makeup] BB cream has a thick texture and will feel greasy if worn for a long time. It will also cause serious powder floating and absorption, and can easily clog pores and cause problems such as acne and spots.

CC cream improves the thickness problem of BB cream and specially adds snail moisturizing ingredients. The texture is lighter and more thorough. It is easy to apply on the hands, and the makeup is more adherent and lasts longer.

[Skin Care] BB cream does not contain any skin care ingredients. Apart from the basic sun protection and isolation functions, it cannot play a skin care role.

CC cream contains rich skin care ingredients. It not only provides exquisite makeup, but also protects against the sun, isolates skin, gently cares for the skin, and reduces the fatigue of wearing makeup.
