Get 10% off the CC cream that Mumsnet users love for its buildable coverage

Finding the right base product might feel like an arduous task, particularly if you have skincare needs that should be considered. Oily skin, breakouts, and redness are just a few of the issues our Mumsnet users deal with on a daily basis. Add to that the myriad of options that all promise a flawless, radiant complexion - well, you’d be forgiven for feeling a tad lost in the sea of choices. 

The good news is that, as always, a large number of Mumsnetters have one particular beauty product that they recommend time and time again over on our style and beauty board: iT Cosmetics CC+ cream. And now, with the code ITCOSSAVE10, you can enjoy 10% off selected iT Cosmetics products at Boots until 14th May, 2024.

iT Cosmetics’ CC cream is the brand’s hero offering and has captured the hearts of many a Mumsnetter across our boards. Of course, when a product earns our users’ stamp of approval, it’s worth taking note. But what sets this particular CC cream apart from the rest?

There are two CC+ Creams of note

Both cater to different skin types and preferences and each of them come with their own unique benefits and skincare needs.

As a CC cream - short for colour correcting cream - iT Cosmetics’ hero offering is prized for its ability to improve the appearance of skin tone, hydrate the skin and provide enough coverage where after a night of broken sleep thanks to your DC, you can look a lot less ‘Corpse Bride’ and a bit more ‘Barbie’. What’s more - it was developed with plastic surgeons’ insights and dermatologists’ ingredients and skincare expertise.

It’s also incredibly convenient and can be used as your foundation, concealer, moisturiser and for added SPF protection all while tackling the appearance of redness, dark spots, dullness, leaving you with a natural glow. 

The original CC+ Cream formula comes in 23 shades and offers full coverage that helps to even out skin tone, cover imperfections and provide SPF 50 protection. It has a natural, satin finish and is suitable for a non-shimmery look.

Whereas, the Nude Glow version of the CC+ Cream adds a luminous, radiant glow to the skin. While it still offers the same colour correction and SPF 40 protection as the original, it also gives an added touch of glow and gives buildable, medium coverage. So, if you’re after a dewy complexion, this one’s for you.

Both are made with skin-friendly ingredients… 

In an era where clean beauty reigns supreme, our Mumsnetters often seek products that are gentle but effective. iT Cosmetics’ CC+ Cream range earns high marks for its ingredients and is free from harsh chemicals and known irritants like parabens. Instead, the hydrating and anti-ageing products are packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and Vitamin E. 

What Mumsnet users say

“I absolutely love it. It's now my go to foundation... I find it gives excellent coverage (which is buildable) and I like the fact it has an spf of 50. In my early 40s with good skin, mild rosacea occasionally and this is excellent for that. I now use several other items from the iT range and have been pleased with them all.” MayMiracle

And both offer a seamless, long-lasting application

One of the hallmarks of a great CC cream is its ability to blend seamlessly into the skin and leave behind a natural-looking finish. 

For our Mumsnetters, they appreciate the nourishing texture of iT Cosmetics’ CC+ Cream, which glides on easily and absorbs quickly without caking or settling into fine lines. More importantly, it lasts. Whether applied with your fingers, a sponge, or iT Cosmetics’ Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection brush, the product melts into your skin for a flawless, complexion that’ll survive work, the school run, play dates and kids’ parties. 

What Mumsnet users say

“I really like it - it helped me make the transition from full coverage foundation to a CC. I’m 41 with combination skin and it gives a gorgeous long lasting finish on me. I use a really tiny amount and blend with a brush.” Emma6776

“I use it and I love it. On about my fifth tube now. It's really easy to apply and gives decent coverage but does not cake like a foundation.” pigglepot

“I really like it. Lasts well and is full coverage. Never gave me spots.” ZaraW
