Erborian CC Cream Review: The Top-Rated Korean CC Cream Instantly Evens Out Redness

Moisturizing, soothing, and redness reducing, Erborian’s CC Cream is the ultimate cult-favorite beauty product. The Korean multitasking skincare-makeup hybrid creates radiance with high-definition, evens out the complexion, and minimizes imperfections, all while caring for the skin.

The formula is suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitivities, thanks to the inclusion of centella asiatica and SPF 25, the former to calm and soothe, and the latter to shield the skin from the sun’s rays. It has a lightweight texture, so it’s ideal for those who find foundation too heavy but still want to refine their texture and tone. With all this in mind, it’s not surprising that there are almost 10,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, which makes this tinted cream among the most-loved Korean beauty products sold by the online retailer. When better to shop it that during Prime Day when its marked down by 30%?

• Why We Love It: Erborian’s CC Crème has formed the basis of my make-up bag for as long as I can remember. It was brought to market back in 2007, and its endurance as a cosmetic holy grail is a testament to the quality of the formula. The hybrid hero comes in just three shades, but its adaptable pigment means that it has an almost universal smoothing effect on uneven skin tone, imperfections and glides over fine lines without settling. The texture is lightweight, while the inclusion of soothing centella asiatica works wonders for redness and inflammation. See also the brand’s CC Red Correct, CC Dull Correct and CC Water, the latter of which adds hyaluronic acid into the mix.
• Key Ingredients: Centella asiatica (increases collagen production and antioxidant activity), adenosine (improves skin elasticity), vitamin B3 (protects against free radicals and strengthens the skin barrier)
• Shades: 3
• Size: 15 mL, 45 mL

Formulated to match and brighten the complexion, Erborian’s CC Cream harnesses the power of centella asiatica to give skin radiance, hydration and protection. The pigments in the tinted cream, on the other hand, help to even out tone, minimize imperfections and cover minor redness thanks to color-adaptive technology. While appearing white out of the tube, the final effect is customized to your skin tone, while remaining natural for a fresh, no-make-up makeup look that enhances your natural complexion.

“This is the product I always reach for when doing men’s grooming,” makeup artist Dani Guinsberg previously told Vogue, cosigning it as her favorite CC cream for a natural finish. “It has just enough color correction to even out discoloration, yet never looks like actual makeup on the skin.”

To use, simply apply a thin layer of the CC cream onto the skin, and blend with either your fingers or a brush to activate the color pigments. Wear on its own or layer with the rest of your makeup regimen.
