BB Creams generally contain active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to hydrate, vitamin c to brighten complexions, antioxidants to even out skin tone and sunscreen to protect from external elements. Like foundations, BB Creams are available in a variety of shades and finishes, with the added benefit of skincare ingredients.
A CC cream also offers skincare benefits and buildable coverage, but this product is primarily used for colour correcting. It aims to correct redness and dark spots and add radiance in addition to providing hydration and colour.
Regular tinted moisturisers are a lighter option, closer to a lightweight face cream with a hint of colour. These are ideal for those who are looking for minimal coverage and maximum hydration, however, are less buildable and less effective at concealing blemishes compared to a BB Cream.
