If you struggle with an uneven skin tone, you may want to ditch your foundation for a color correcting cream, a.k.a. CC cream. In addition to improving the appearance of discoloration and redness, these skincare-makeup hybrids often contain SPF to help protect against the sun and ingredients to help hydrate. Read on for six of our favorites, including glow-enhancing formulas and full-coverage options.
