BB cream, CC cream and DD cream: see the differences and benefits

About a year ago, major beauty product brands launched a product that promised to revolutionize the dermocosmetics market.

The Blemish Balm cream (beauty repair balm), known as BB cream, was developed in Germany by a doctor who prescribed it for post-treatment of peeling and laser.

The product in question evens out skin color, reduces irritation and even protects from UV rays. Soon, the cream was produced by major brands with the promise of replacing some makeup items, such as primer and foundation, and currently the DD cream, the most “advanced” version of the product, even offers self-tanning.

Although BB cream has not yet become popular in Brazil, the beauty industry is already investing in its successors: CC cream and DD cream. See the differences between each of the products and learn about their benefits.

Blemish Balm Cream (BB cream)

Which is?

  • It is a dermocosmetic that contains oil-free moisturizer, SPF (sun protection factor) and color.

Main benefits:

  • Replaces primer and foundation with its regenerating effect.
  • Lightens blemishes, regulates skin oiliness, closes pores and prevents the formation of wrinkles and pimples.
  • It’s indicated to all skin types.

Disadvantages:

  • It does not cover very large imperfections, as its coverage is smooth. Therefore, it is not indicated to be used in situations that call for “full coverage”. In this case, foundation is the best option.
  • As well as foundations, there are several colors of BB cream. The tip is to choose the color similar to the skin tone. If in doubt, test the products on your own face, leaving them on for five minutes. The one that disappears is the ideal tone.
  • National brands have not yet popularized BB cream, so the price is still not very advantageous compared to national foundations and primers. Maybelline, however, introduces the product in Brazil in February 2013.

Color Control Cream (CC cream)

Which is?

  • CC cream (color control cream) is the successor version of BB cream. Both have the same active ingredients: oil-free moisturizer, SPF (sun protection factor) and color. The difference is that this new version brings whitening actives that unify and correct the skin tone.

Main benefits:

  • Like BB cream, it also replaces primer and foundation.
  • It’s indicated to all skin types.
  • It has a lighter texture, high sun protection factor and better fixation on the skin than BB cream.
  • Each cream has a different formula for each skin color, making it even more even.

Disadvantage:

  • National brands have not yet manufactured CC cream and the expected arrival of this product in Brazil is 2014.

Daily Defense (DD cream)

Which is?

  • The DD cream (defense cream) is one of the promises for 2013. Its formula is even more complete than the other two creams, containing active principles for artificial tanning.

Main benefits:

  • It reduces blemishes, smoothes scars and prevents the appearance of stretch marks through skin regeneration.
  • It acts as an artificial tanner.
  • It does not need to be used daily, but 2-3 times a week.
  • It can be used all over the body, especially in rougher areas.

Disadvantage:

  • There is still no estimated time of arrival of the product in Brazil.
