Tinted Moisturizer vs BB Cream vs CC Cream: What’s the Difference?

Which do you actually need...tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or CC cream?

Some products live in that gray area between skincare and makeup. Tinted moisturizers, BB creams, and CC creams all promise coverage with a side of skincare benefits, but they’re not the same and it can easily become confusing. If you’ve ever wondered which one is actually right for your skin…then this is going to be your ultimate guide.

Tinted Moisturizer

Think of tinted moisturizer as makeup-lite. At its core, it’s just a moisturizer with pigment added. The finish is sheer…you’ll still see your skin, freckles etc but with a soft veil of color that evens your skin tone.

Best for:

• Normal to dry skin types (the added hydration helps).

• Anyone who likes a dewy, skin-like finish.

• People who don’t want to fuss - it’s the grab-and-go option.
