Good to hear about "CC" creams. I've had difficulty finding a "BB" cream with a shade and a texture which worked for me. I finally gave up . . .

No matter how hard I try, I can't love BB creams. Either the texture is effective and the color is bad, or vice versa. CC creams? Open to experimentation here . . .

I use physicians formula color correcting mineral powder and a toner over the top like Better Botanicals Juniper Toner to make the power lay flat like a cream. A non-toxic alternative that won't clog your pores or make your bare skin look worse.

This was an informative post! I'm excited to try the CC creams but find it frustrating you can't get "free samples" anywhere, it seems. Since you're paying a good amount for the product, you would think the beauty and skin companies would be generous with samples.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with those of us who are intimidated by the sheer number of beauty products available to us.

First time hearing about this. I would love to try this. My face can get really red, so I would love the color correcting and coverage.
