Lately on the shelves of stores you can find various creams with intricate designations on the tubes: BB, CC or DD. Probably, the appearance of such tools in the lines of many famous brands indicates their popularity and demand among buyers. Let's try to understand what this abbreviation means and what is the uniqueness of such cosmetic innovations?
 
BB cream
BB cream literally means “balm from imperfections” (blemish balm) and is a magic mix of a day cream and foundation. When you buy such product, you get a moisturizer, a tonal foundation, a reliable barrier from the sun's rays and a concealer in one bottle, which will instantly hide the imperfections of your skin from prying eyes. It is so convenient and frugally, isn't  it? In addition, isn't it great that you can reduce the time of morning routine, using one product instead of several.
Choosing such a product for your skin type you will surely pay attention to the rather poor palette of shades. But do not get upset: the fact is that BB cream contains unique pigments that can be easily adjusted to the natural tone of your skin. Despite this, we advise you to buy the tone closest to your natural skin color, which will reveal the maximum effectiveness of this tool.
 
CC cream
And this type of cream has a slightly different purpose, namely the creation of a perfect texture and shade of your skin. Its main vocation is to hide all the imperfections of the relief, various redness, inflammation and pigment spots. That is why the abbreviation of this product translates as "color correction" (color correcting). In comparison with the previous cream, CC cream has a lighter texture, an increased UV protection factor, and also has less toning, but more corrective particles in the composition. That is why it will become indispensable for owners of problem and oily skin, especially in the summer, when the sun's rays are especially aggressive.
 
DD cream
This cream is considered a truly universal cosmetic product, the manufacturers of which tried to combine all the advantages of the previous two products in it. In this case, the prefix DD should be interpreted as “daily defense”, that is, “daily care”. Indeed, in addition to intensive moisturizing of the skin, as well as alignment of color and texture, this cream effectively fights the main signs of aging of the skin, rejuvenating it and significantly reducing the depth of wrinkles. DD cream will also help to quickly eliminate all sorts of inflammation and normalize the sebaceous glands, narrowing the pores and thus matting the skin. As a rule, these products have a high SPF and are suitable for all skin types.
 
As you can see, these types of creams have their own characteristics and different properties of influence on the skin, which allows everyone to choose the best option for themselves, taking into account the personal characteristics of the epidermis.
Despite this, there are three common qualities that all BB, CC and DD creams possess, without exception, namely:
  • they are full-fledged day creams, perfectly moisturize the skin, nourish it and enrich with necessary vitamins;
  • perform a corrective function, aligning the structure and skin tone, as well as hiding flaws;
  • provide reliable protection of the skin from the adverse effects of ultraviolet rays.
