IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream SPF 50+, 1.08 fl. oz. Fair Light

Product Information

Allure reached out to the brand for comment and IT Cosmetics says there's a reason for the limited range: Peptides: Help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and support natural collagen for the look of smoother, firmer skin. The IT Cosmetics CC Cream promises to do a lot of things – colour correct, give full coverage, have anti-aging and hydrating skincare properties, contain SPF50+ UVA/UVB broad spectrum physical sunscreen, chemical-filter free and paraben free. That’s just what they say on the tube!

I have combination skin with dehydration, and I think this works well for me, however, I’m not sure that oilier skin types will get on as well. I say this because it has a lot more moisturising ingredients than the original.

I went for shade Light from the samples I have available. I am usually Fair-Light in the regular CC and this looked pretty dark in the swatches. However, as it’s a sheerer formula, it actually worked quite well. Before After (shade Light)

For me therefore, I find this natural, but only because I don’t aim for full coverage. What I usually do is use this CC Cream to even out my complexion, then use concealer where I need it, before dusting some powder all over to set. I do find I have to set, to take away some of the shine. This light layering technique gives me a very natural and more flawless visage, as opposed to piling on the base makeup. In terms of fine lines and wrinkles, it doesn’t sink in to them at all, which I found most impressive. I think this will work really well for mature skin types. The formulation feels nice and fine as you apply it and it spreads over the skin really easily. When I compare it to the Original formula – everything is lighter with the CC Nude Glow including how it looks and feels on the skin. Infused with hydrolzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and vitamins, CC+ Cream Illumination reduces the appearnce of wrinkles, helps to cover redness, dark circles under eyes and minimises the appearnce of pores - and leaves your complexion with a radiant, supple, flawless-looking finish. It's truly your multi-tasking makeup must-have radiant complexion perfection! I have four shades to show you – Light, Light Medium, Neutral Tan and Tan: It Cosmetics CC Nude Glow Swatches – Light, Light-Medium, Neutral Tan, Tan It Cosmetics CC Nude Glow Swatches – Light, Light-Medium, Neutral Tan, TanBut you know what? In this instance, I’m in full agreement with the hype over this product. Yes, ladies and gents, the hype is real! 🙂 The texture of the IT Cosmetics CC Cream is quite creamy and moisturising and it actually feels very comfortable on my skin. I do however, have slightly drier skin, so I’m not sure how this fares on oilier skin types. If you have oilier skin and use this, do chip in with your thoughts! Due to the physical-only SPF in the product, we’re not able to go darker than our deepest shade," a representative of the brand added. "Expanding our shade range is a top priority and we are working on it!" The only other CC Cream that’s impressed me is the one from Bourjois. So, if you are on a budget, consider that one instead. This one, albeit a good product, is pretty pricey. I took a picture of the ingredients list, but it’s spread out all over the box so here’s the text version instead.
