With the inflow of new “alphabet” creams in the market,
it seems like the beauty companies are making much harder for consumer to decide
whether to go for a BB, CC or DD cream!
We can see different advertisement of these creams all over,
but most consumers are still confused what all these BB, CC and DD really mean.
To help you take your pick best of these alphabetic creams, we researched
and found what each of these cream do.
BB: (Beauty Balm)
It
became popular all over the world after South Korean actresses told it was
their secret to gorgeous skin. BB creams were intended to regenerate the
skin after aggressive facial treatments, and hide any possible redness by
providing moisture and radiance. Today, they provide subtle tint, smooth finish, protect with SPF and hydrate (moisturizes) all at the same time while leaving your skin
looking flawless and gives natural glow. They’re
lighter than foundation but heavier than tinted moisturizers.
For whom: It is beneficial for women having
long office hours. If you want to hide redness due to your recent facial
treatment and don't want to use heavy make-up, then this cream is for you because
of its light coverage and texture.
CC: (Color Corrector)
A refined version of BB creams having similar properties that
cover blemishes but have higher colour content. Repairs damaged skin, evens
skin, improve elasticity, balance skin tone, protect skin, moisturize, reduce
fine lines, fade dark spots
and protect with SPF. They can be applied as an alternative to regular
foundations and base make-up. With its usage dull, light grey skin appears more
radiant and brighter; sallow, yellow skin gets a peachy glow and blotchy
redness is neutralised. Skin imperfections are instantly corrected for a
virtually flawless look, leaving the skin with a radiant finish.
For Whom: It is advanced version of BB cream and it is best for those who want little more tinted coverage and additional skin benefits but don't want to apply make-up foundation

DD: (Daily Defence)
Originally
touted to be body and foot creams. But today DD cream is a hybrid of BB and CC
creams. These creams are designed to protect skin, moisturise, decrease appearance of fine lines +
pores (anti-aging), light weight/buildable tint, protect with SPF, moisturize
and balance uneven skin tone.
For Whom: It is very similar to CC creams; DD
creams are mostly treated as anti-aging product and is for those looking for a
tinged moisturiser which focuses on anti-aging properties to treat mature skin.
Conclusion: With new trend in beauty industry of using alphabet. Lets see how many alphabets are there to come.
