It Cosmetics CC Cream SPF 50 Review

Hey beauties!

It Cosmetics CC Cream has been raved about for the past so many years. I have seen so many YouTube videos and blog posts where everyone is just praising this cream and that how much they all love it. This made me very inquisitive and intrigued to try it myself. I recently purchased it from Sephora.

Product Description – A bestselling, award-winning, full-coverage, color-correcting cream with antiaging skin care and SPF 50+ sunscreen.

This color-correcting cream provides full, flawless coverage and protects skin with SPF 50+ UVA/UVB broad-spectrum physical sunscreen. It is clinically shown to increase hydration, smooth texture, and enhance brightness. The breakthrough formula never creases or cracks and instantly camouflages skin imperfections including dark spots. Plus, it’s infused with an advanced anti-aging serum made of hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants that work in harmony to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and pores to create a more radiant, supple and flawless-looking complexion. 

The packaging of the It Cosmetics CC Cream is a little different than the other foundations like L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte or the L’Oreal Infallible Total Cover Foundations that I have tried.  It is a squeeze tube with a pump attached to it. This contains 1.08oz/32ml of product inside. This is the first time I have seen a squeeze tube with a pump. I like the packaging and the idea of the pump but am wondering does a tube need a pump? Yes! it protects all the anti-aging ingredients that are present in this cream from getting exposed to the environment and sunlight. It Cosmetics CC Cream is available at Sephora for $38. Currently there are seven shades available and I got the shade Tan.

The consistency of the It Cosmetics CC Cream is quite thick. However, when we blend it is creamy and soft. The first thought in my mind was, it will feel heavy on the skin. Reason being it is thick in consistency and it claims to provide full coverage. But this does not feel heavy at all. It has a subtle citrus scent which is pleasant but also dissipates quickly.

The It Cosmetics “Your Skin But Better” CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ is a full coverage color correcting cream with some amazing anti-aging skin care ingredients like snail secretion, niacin peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, licorice root, jojoba oil, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, SPF 50+ and antioxidants that take care of the skin as well as provide full coverage. Isn’t it amazing we get skin care advantage in makeup?

The application of this CC Cream is smooth and feels very silky soft. This blends well with the fingers. It is not streaky of blotchy. This makes my skin feel smooth and diminishes the look of large pores that I have. It covers the redness and some acne spots on my chin well in just one coat. However it can be build to get that full coverage. It gives a very natural skin like supple appearance with some glow. This is very good for the coverage it provides in comparison to other BB and CC creams type of product. It gives that hydrated look to the skin without being too glow-y or shimmery. I like to set it with my Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder as my skin is very oily. My skin starts to look shiny after a good 5-6 hours of wear.

Over all, It Cosmetics CC Cream with SPF 50+ has an incredible formula that provides perfect base makeup with additional skin care benefits. This gives the natural skin like appearance which I love. The most fascinating thing about the It Cosmetics CC Cream is the great staying power whole day. It’s like apply and forget. We hardly need any touch ups. However, I have oily skin, so I need to blot the shine away. But this stays fresh all day. In spite of the SPF 50+ present in this cc cream it looks great in flash photos as well. So far I have tried only one  Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream that I love and this one has slowly become one of my favorites too.

Dry skin people will love this cc cream. Firstly, because it provides moisture and allows the skin to retain it all day. Secondly it gives dew-y finish along with more radiant and brighter appearance without oxidizing or fading.  People who have skin issues and need full coverage will love it too. I love this CC cream and highly recommend. The one disadvantage with the It Cosmetics CC Cream is the shade selection. I think they should expand the shades. Since L’Oreal has acquired It Cosmetics last year, I expect them to expand the shade range.

Have you tried this CC Cream? What are your thoughts?

Until next time stay flawless, 🙂
