CC Creams is an improved version of BB Creams. It is the next "big thing" in the beauty industry, but it is only available in Asia at the moment. CC Creams offers the same benefits as BB Creams including moisturizing, whitening, skin repairing, and sun protection. Except CC Creams includes ingredients that rejuvenate your skin quicker.

About Rachel K. CC Cream:
In 2009, Rachel K. won Miss Singapore Universe and began her journey to create a new beauty innovation. After two years of research in cosmetic laboratories in Japan, Korean, and USA, along with the help of lead dermatologists, cosmetologists, and make-up artists, the Rachel K. CC Cream was born. Rachel K. CC Cream is a 10-in-1 non-comedogenic waterproof product with SPF 35 that controls shine, instantly brightens, evens skin tone, conceal flaws, and hydrates your skin for 24 hours.
My First Impression:
I have used BB Creams before and I was not super impressed. I bought Mischa BB Cream about two years ago because my Korean friend recommended it to me. First of all, this was before BB Creams were available in the U.S. market, so most of the color selection is fairly light. I had darker skin tone before and most BB Creams were not available in my tan complexion. I finally found a BB Cream that is significantly darker than most BB Creams and bought it. When I first put it on, it felt greasy. I gave it a few minutes to let it settle into my skin and it felt better. The problem was, it didn't seem completely dry, I had to powder it down with a setting powder to give it a satin finish. Secondly, I have combination skin, but my skin would get shiny within a couple of hours. Since the Mischa BB Cream did not have a satin finish, it made me look even more oily than usual. Lastly, I was the least impressed with the longevity of the Mischa BB Cream. This BB Cream transferred like no other product I've tried! I would touch my skin slightly and it would appear on my fingers. I was disappointed that the Mischa BB Cream did not work for me because it gets such great reviews.
Yesterday, I received my CC Cream in the mail and I couldn't wait to try it! I put it on today and it felt so different than the Mischa BB Cream. First off, the CC Cream felt feather light when I applied it onto my skin. It did not feel like I was wearing make-up, it felt like I just put a serum on. Secondly, this CC Cream surprisingly gave a decent amount of coverage. Most BB Creams and Tinted Moisturizers provide little to no coverage, but this CC Cream stepped up it's game. I would say the coverage is about a light to medium coverage which you can build on. However, I wouldn't depend on the CC Cream to act as your main source for coverage if you want to achieve a medium to full coverage. I would lightly dust your foundation powder over the CC Cream to get the coverage you need to avoid cakey-ness. Last but not least, the color 'Neutral' matched my skin tone completely. The way Rachel K. created this CC Cream is amazing. The CC Cream blends into your skin after a few minutes of the application. I don't know how to explain it...you just have to see it for yourself. The CC Cream literally disappeared and there is no trace of make-up whatsoever. You could stand 5cm away from my face and you wouldn't be able to tell I have anything on. It looks like moisturizer, but the CC Cream "blurs" your blemishes away. It neutralized the redness on my face and diminished any dark spots. It is pretty amazing! I am extremely impressed with the Rachel K. CC Cream and I'm glad I got my hands on it. It is $39 without shipping and handling. I ordered mine from LisaLisaD1's website, but you can also order it straight from the Rachel K website. Shipping is less expensive if you order it from LisaLisaD1 though.
Noticed the redness is gone and it controlled the shine. I did not put on any concealer and it helped with my dark circles a bit.
