7 Best CC Creams of 2022
If You're Tired of Foundation, Here Are 7 Great Reasons to Try a CC Cream

When we think of a base that's not foundation, we turn to BB and CC creams. But what's the difference? BB, short for beauty balm, boasts anti-aging benefits, UV protection, and brightening benefits, while CC cream, aka color correction cream, has all that and more. CC creams work like skin care treatments, minimizing dark spots and fine lines over time to give you a better complexion in a matter of months. They also tend to be a bit thicker, which makes them ideal for fall.
If this sounds like it's up your alley, try these seven CC creams. Some are full-coverage, while others give off a more sheer look. Some are matte, while others are luminous. In short, you'll find something great that works for you. Keep on reading to shop our selects.
