BB and CC creams are all-in-one complexion products that usually offer skincare benefits such as sun protection and long-lasting hydration. They’re also super versatile, with lightweight formulas that are perfect for no-makeup makeup looks and full-coverage options for glam ones. If you’re looking to ditch your foundation for a makeup-meets-skincare product, these are our favorite BB and CC creams to try.

Full Coverage CC Cream

Dermablend Continuous Correction CC Cream SPF 50+

This CC cream doesn’t just cover up your imperfections — it actually helps to correct them too.

Blurring CC Cream

Thrive Causemetics Buildable Blur CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35

Most BB and CC creams admittedly don’t have very extensive shade ranges, but this one offers 18 shades to match a variety of skin tones. The formula is infused with vitamin C to brighten your complexion, even out skin tone and fight against environmental aggressors. Plus it features a blurring technology to reduce the appearance of large pores, fine lines and uneven texture.
