CC cream that does it all (I'm not asking for much)

[Chicinwellies]

• Needs SPF
• Needs to even out skin tone
• Needs to give a dewy/luminous finish but not an oil slick
• That is all.

I have tried IT cosmetics CC cream, L'oreal, Laura Mercier, all with varying degrees of success but absolutely nothing revolutionary. PS I am 42 and happy to spend on the 'right' one.

Erborian fans - has anyone tried the new(ish) CC Water/gel, and if so how does it compare to the CC Creme?

Next on my list but I have a few tubes of cream to use up that I got when space nk had offers

I'm after something for evening out my complexion, either powder or liquid, but in my experiments with various liquids I hate the way they wipe off on things ! If that makes any sense.... I wipe my nose and I have colour on the tissue or it can rub off on clothing. I've been using foundations and it makes me feel really like I'm wearing a mask, even though I've been trying pretty lightweight ones.

Do these BB and CC creams do the same? Or am I better sticking to a powder?

What’s the difference between a BB and CC cream ? What do they stand for

BB cream stands for 'blemish balm' and is more like a tinted moisturiser.
CC stands for 'colour correcting' and offers more coverage than a BB cream.

I don’t think the bare minerals one has been discontinued? It’s still on the website.

Apologies for any alarm caused! I buy it from QVC and it's no longer available there for some reason. I shouldn't have assumed the worst

[Prettybubblesintheair]

I love it cc but hydraluminous foundation is really good too.

How about the terry one?

I use erborian but with an Spf in addition as I don't use enough to get coverage

Wow thank you all. I’ll look these up. Thanks x

Clinique moisture surge CC cream, it's all I've used for years.
Not oily, evens my skin tone, hydrating,
Lasts all day and you can build for coverage if you're not having a good skin day

[ThatIsMyPotato]

Bluesheep8 noooooooo!! I kept having problems getting hold of my shade but finally found some online.

Just thought - apparently the No7 hydraluminous foundation is very good, pretty sheer so essentially a CC cream. Might be worth a try? It certainly gets recommended a lot on here.

I use this and it's a light/medium coverage foundation.

[Bluesheep8]

Bare minerals complexion rescue tinted moisturiser. Perhaps not technically a CC cream, but fulfils your criteria. SPF 30 and nice and glowy.

This. But they've discontinued it haven't they? Which is a huge shame.

I was going to suggest this too. Depending how much CC you need it might work?

[OverByYer]

Trinny BFF gives a lovely glow

[Whereland]

Vichy mineral blend foundation does all this!

[Marmaladegin]

Love hydro luminous by no 7. But I wouldn't say it's light coverage. For cc cream, I think the smashbox one is expensive but worth it.

I was also going to say No7 BB cream I use it and find it great and it's essentially a cc cream.

[247SylviaPlath]

Tried them all and second the no 7 bb cream - eborian is also nice but not as effective as no 7 version...

Also agree you can’t rely on it for spf though - nowhere near enough to provide protection - you need a factor 50 as last skincare step (I like Mimitika factor 50 under make up - it works really well).

[Brogues]

You can get samples of eborian from feel unique on the pick n mix counter.

[MabelMoo23]

Erborian definitely

[Gingefringe]

Chanel CC cream is my favourite and it has SPF 50. Clinique CC is quite good too (spf 30 I think).

[BasicMadeira]

I am loving the LRP one in the pic. Neutral colour and good coverage. I have an oily nose and chin and this makes me look a lot better. It's works in well with fingers as the colour looks darker than I would normally go for. SPF 50 which is great. I tend to find BB creams a little shiny and unsubstantial on my slightly mature skin.
