Cc cream the face shop review

I know people who love this product and swears by it, I also know people who do not like this product as well. But I was pretty intrigued by it for various reasons. Today, I'm going to be talking the Face It Aura CC Cream SPF 30, PA ++ from the brand The Face Shop. I got mine in the shade 01 Radiant Beige.

Face It CC Cream is a colour-controlling cream that brightens your complexion and keeps your morning makeup intact without any darkening. Colour Control Cream that makes a radiant and clear makeup appearance as if the skin is being spotlighted

It has a triple functional cosmetic abilities of wrinkle care, whitening and sunscreen.

It claims to:

  • Creates radiant & brighter skin tone
  • Darkening-proof formula [12h long-lasting]
  • Silver Vine Complex: skin brightening effect

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Pump 1-2 times to release the formula
  2. After skincare, apply evenly into face in a light tapping motion using the enclosed CC puff
  3. Do the same for the touch-ups

When the cream does not dispense even after pumping 10-20 times, replace it with a refill.

  1. Press the center of bottom of the container gently with both thumbs
  2. Press up the bottom of the container with the hands. Separate the releases inner container
  3. Replace by inserting a new refill container into the outer container

I actually really really love this product. And the first reason why I love this product is because of its coverage. I know there are some people who dislike this product for this very reason but this is one of the reasons why I love this product. I've said this before but I have a lot of scarring left behind from when I had bad hormonal acne. As such, I usually go for products which are higher in coverage because I can't be bothered to deal with concealers on most days. Also, it is much easier to spot conceal than to try and conceal a huge area [my cheeks] so products with higher overall coverage save me the hassle. This CC Cream offers medium to full coverage which I like, but if this isn't your thing, then it is something to note.

The second reason is probably how this cc cream looks on my face. The first day I used this, everyone at work commented on the fact that my face looked a lot fresher and brighter than normal and they asked if I did something different with my makeup. I didn't change a single thing from both my skin care or makeup routine except for this product so I definitely have to say that this is the reason for the many compliments. I didn't do any highlighting on that day itself if you were wondering.

This is also probably one of the more aesthetically pleasing cushion foundations out there simply because it comes in the loveliest shade of pink. I'm a sucker for most things pink so this is definitely a plus point for me.

Also, the packaging is amazing. I know that there are people who do not like cushion foundations because they find it unhygienic to press the makeup sponge into the cushion to pick up product. Well, the good news is that the product is dispensed by pressing a small "button" at the bottom of the compact and the product comes out from a small hole in the center. As such, it totally erases the unhygienic factor and you can wash the sponge after every use if you wish to do so.

This cc cream gives off a really pleasant scent and this is something which I really appreciate. While I'm not usually particular about the scents of makeup products, I never say no to products which smell great. My sister really likes this scent as well!

Now, on to what I don't really like about this product. I realise that it tends to become cakey on my face after maybe 4-5 hours. My face isn't the oiliest and most foundations/BB creams do not turn cakey on my face so I'm not particularly sure why this product tends to cake up on my T-Zone area. I know it does not claim to do so but it does not help control sebum [which leads to caking anyway] so if you have oily skin, this product probably isn't for you.

I forgot to take photos of my skin with this cc cream when I took the photos of the product but I used it during my most recent trip to Korea so these are the photos of it on my face.

Overall:

PROS:

  • Medium to full coverage
  • Does not feel heavy on my skin
  • Hygienic way of dispensing product
  • Smells really good
  • Brightens up skin tone
  • Comes in a lovely pink packaging
  • Natural finish
  • Isn't drying on my skin
  • Doesn't irritate my skin
  • Doesn't cause break outs

CONS:

  • Tends to get cakey after a few hours
  • Does not control sebum

Regardless of the cons, I still really like this product and I would definitely repurchase this. In fact, I already have a backup refill for it hehe. If you have dry-combination skin, definitely give this product a shot because it really made a difference on the appearance of my skin whenever I use it!

Which CC cream is best?

List of top 10 CC creams under Rs.1000 for women.

Is CC cream good for your face?

Yes, you can use CC cream daily because it is typically the better formula for skin due to its added skin care properties and UV protection qualities. According to Collado, CC creams are great for daily use because they work as a color corrector. However, Corella also suggests cleaning your face daily before use.

Is CC cream better than BB cream?

One of the most significant differences between a CC and a BB cream is that while a BB cream offers light coverage and added skin care benefits, a CC cream also aims to colour correct. It's primarily meant to help correct the colour of redness, dark spots or pale skin and is meant to go under a foundation.

Can I use CC cream instead of foundation?

CC, or “color control,” cream is a lightweight makeup product that can be used in place of foundation or as a primer. CC cream helps hide skin imperfections, like redness or hyperpigmentation, while also protecting your skin from sun damage and treating blemishes, fine lines, and age spots.
