BB vs. CC Cream: What's the Difference?

In the world of beauty and skincare, finding the perfect fit for your skin can feel like searching for a hidden treasure. Among the multitude of options, BB and CC creams have emerged as standout solutions, blending skincare and makeup into one. Let’s break down the differences between BB and CC creams and help you discover which is right for your skin’s needs.

WHAT IS A BB CREAM?
BB Cream, an abbreviation for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, offers more than just coverage – it's a fusion of makeup and skincare. Comparable to tinted moisturizers, BB Creams are infused with ingredients that not only provide a touch of coverage but also bring a dose of goodness to your skin.

WHAT IS A CC CREAM?
CC Cream, which stands for Color Correcting or Complexion Correcting, neutralizes complexion discolorations, resulting in a balanced skin tone. Unlike BB Creams, CC Creams offer increased coverage. And much like their BB counterparts, CC Creams can harbor skincare benefits, enriching your beauty routine with customizable care.

WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Navigating between BB Creams and CC Creams isn't about right or wrong – it's about finding what aligns with your personal style. Are you inclined towards a natural radiance and light coverage, or do you lean towards a higher coverage to tackle imperfections? Your preferences and needs take the lead in this choice.

Now that we’ve broken down the basics, let’s talk about the benefits of each pūrlisse BB and CC Cream.
