Broke me out
The small size is a great way to test this product, and I really enjoyed the formula (good coverage, looked flattering on my dry skin), but... The lightest shade was way too dark for me, and the fragrance in this product made my skin break out and itch like crazy. So if you have sensitive skin, beware.
full coverage and color match
Contains outstanding cover flaw function,bedecks pore and last long covering effect. No trace,showing natural transparent and cleansing make-up. Convinced formula,easily pushed. It's soooooooioo good! I'm a Chinese person with a white skin.Fair fits my complexion perfectly.
Awesome CC cream - Great Coverage, A Bit too Matte!
Love it for summer has the SPF 50 and a light coverage that's also full. I did find it a bit matte but overall a great product and lasts 2.5 half months to three months and is a good value for CC Creams/Foundation. Love the anti-aging benefits but sad the illuminating CC didn't provide that 'illuminatinatiion' it promised. Literally, no difference between this one or the illuminating one.
Great at first, separates later
I'm torn on this item. On one hand, the finish is lovely when first applied. I would not call this full coverage - it seems more medium coverage to me, but it's relatively easy to build up the coverage if you need something more. Initially, this has a natural looking, soft finish that I really appreciate. The issue I have is that this product breaks up on me pretty badly over the day. Within an hour or two, this tends to settle in pores that I never even see with other products and by the end of the day, there are sections of my skin where this is completely broken and patchy. I have very normal skin with no dry or oily patches, very few lines, and generally no blemishes, and I have never had this happen with any other foundation product before. I'll keep this around for use during short-term special occasions but sadly, this just can't be my daily product.
Meh.
Saw the infomercial and was sucked in. I have fair combo skin and use bb's and cc's exclusively. I think I expected this to magically make me airbrushed and it worked as well as my other similar go-to's (tarte/bareMinerals/etc) 4 stars because it works just fine, but not worth the hype in my opinion. The laundry list of ingredients is also a bit of a turn off for me. Has a lemon-y fresh scent that reminds me of skincare but no noticeable complexion improvement results.
Great CC Cream for Skin That's Oiler in Summer
I wanted something lighter on my skin than my Urban Decay All Nighter foundation for spring and summer and this is the first actual CC Cream I tried with good coverage, not too dewy of a finish, and the perfect shade for super fair skin. Feels smooth and comfortable going on and love the broad spectrum and SPF 50 sunscreen for summer and spring. I saw several bloggers use this with similar fair skin and light hair/eyes so I purchased it on this site though I'm from Canada. Despite the exchange rate was a great buy and because I ordered over a certain amount shipping was free. The smell is good but it always leaves me a little uncertain as many products with a fragrance make me break out. This one didn't but still I'd rather it had less of a fragrance, my only complaint.
Good, but not a miracle
Admittedly, I was totally convinced by the infomercials. I thought for certain that this was going to give me the ultimate perfect, flawless, finish. I think I had unrealistic expectations (LOL) Overall, I am pleased with it but it is comparable to my other four or five BB and CC's that I use interchangeably. Only thing I do not like is the laundry list of ingredients.
Convenient and reliable!
I've taken this with me when travelling a few times. The small packaging is fantastic - light, not at all fragile, hygienic and easy to use. The formula itself is also great: I don't notice any weird separation as it breaks down throughout the day, regardless of primer; it has a very flattering natural coverage and texture; super easy to apply and blend (I typically use my fingers + beauty blender); it feels comfortable on the skin; and my oily complexion doesn't go into overdrive, making my fringe stick to my face in that unflattering way.
In terms of value for money, I genuinely love that when you break down the cost of the travel and full versions, they're about equal.
When I use this product, I don't expect flawless glamour (it has CC Cream in the name, after all). I just something comfortable and pretty, which is exactly what I get. I should really buy the full-sized one before I run out...
Can all liquid foundations have a pump?!
IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream is without a doubt, THE BEST cc cream on the market. Not to mention all the benefits that it has in this one tube... Fell in love with it when I purchased the full size, then I bought this travel size thinking that it would be so good for travelling. However, it just exploded...twice. It's either not coming out, or it explodes...so I wasted quite some products. The full size is a bit too big for carrying around so I would highly appreciate a smaller size, just please please please put a pump on it...
