First of all, for those who have not yet delved into the world of double letter creams (BB, CC and DD) the easiest way to tell the difference is to know what the letter stand for. BB stands for “Beauty Balm” or “Blemish Balm” and acts as a light foundation without beauty benefits like priming and anti-oxidant protection mixed into it. DD stands for “Daily Defense” or “Dynamic Do-All” and has the same ingredients as a BB cream plus anti-aging benefits and color correcting. CC stands for “Color Correcting” or “Color Control” and is like the middle child of the two.
For those of you who want a light foundation, but one that covers all redness and other discoloration, a CC cream is your best bet. It also contains SPF and moisturizing properties and feels like light, whipped air on your face. The Odbo, a sought after but hard to find brand from Korea, offers a CC Cream that works well alone or under your favorite foundation. No need for a separate moisturizer when using this, and you never have to worry about it leaving an oily film on your face.
Some people might be a bit hesitant to try out this seemingly intimidating product, but think of it as applying your moisturizer, foundation, color corrector and SPF all in one go. It saves time and effort and leaves your skin flawless.
