BB cream or CC cream: how to choose according to your skin type?

In the world of tinted skincare, BB creams and CC creams appeal to those who want a perfect complexion without a mask-like effect. But how do you make the right choice for your skin and needs? And above all, is there a universal solution that works for all skin tones? This guide will shed some light—and explain why IOMA CC Gel could become your new beauty essential.

What is the difference between BB cream and CC cream?

BB cream: a natural and hydrating effect

BB cream (Blemish Balm) is designed to even out skin tone while providing a touch of hydration. Its light coverage helps conceal minor imperfections without a cakey effect. It's perfect for simple routines and those who prefer discreet everyday makeup.

CC cream: correct and illuminate

CC cream (Color Correcting) goes further by addressing uneven skin tone: redness, pigmentation spots, dullness, etc. It combines correction and radiance, while providing adjustable coverage. Some formulas are enriched with soothing or antioxidant active ingredients, to combine skincare and makeup.

What BB and CC creams have in common

Despite their differences, BB and CC creams share a hybrid approach: they apply makeup while taking care of the skin.

• Hydration thanks to active ingredients such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid
• Protection against external aggressions, sometimes against UV rays
• Natural result, “bare skin” effect
• Targeted active ingredients according to needs (soothing, illuminating, anti-blemish)

In summary: 2-in-1 – or even 3-in-1 – treatments that simplify your beauty routine and enhance your complexion.

Why are tinted creams so attractive?

The return to nature

The no-makeup makeup trend favors an even, luminous, and natural complexion. Tinted creams offer this healthy glow without overdoing it.

Simpler routines

In a single step, they combine hydration, correction, and light coverage. Ideal for busy schedules.

Modern formulas

Increasingly lighter and cleaner, they respect the skin and offer a pleasant sensory experience.

Multifunctional care

Easy to carry, they allow for quick touch-ups for a complexion that's always fresh.

How to choose according to your skin type?

Oily or acne-prone skin

Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic textures. IOMA CC Gel, with its fresh gel texture, evens out skin tone without clogging pores and respects skin balance.

Dry or dehydrated skin

Skin lacking hydration will appreciate the nourishing formulas. IOMA CC Gel stands out for its intense and long-lasting hydration, while evening out the complexion thanks to its natural formula.

Sensitive or reactive skin

Avoid silicones and mineral oils. IOMA CC Gel offers a soft and clean composition, perfectly suited to fragile skin .

The alternative to the shade puzzle: IOMA CC Gel

Finding the right shade can quickly become complicated: too light, too dark, not suited to undertones... IOMA CC Gel makes things easier thanks to its universal shade that adapts to all skin tones.

A universal shade that adapts to all skin tones

Its color changes according to:

• your skin tone, from the lightest to the darkest,
• the variations in your complexion over the seasons,
• differences in facial areas and undertones (cool, neutral, warm).

Microencapsulated pigment technology

The secret of its natural effect lies in an innovation: micro-encapsulated pigments.

• Invisible in a transparent gel base,
• They are released gradually upon contact with the skin,
• To reveal a tailor-made shade, without demarcation.

Result: a luminous, even and naturally enhanced complexion , with a “just back from the weekend” effect.

How to properly apply your tinted treatment?

• Apply with your finger, like a day cream.
• Spread in a thin layer for an ultra-natural finish.
• Layer if you want more coverage.
• Its single-dose format makes quick touch-ups easy.
