We all know how impressive BB and CC creams are. BB creams work to correct blemishes and provide hydration while CC creams provide color correction. CLE’s CCC cream is a new and improved version of these creams that is an all-in-one primer and SPF 50 that has much more coverage to offer. Using a Micro Capsule technology, the 10 shades ranging from light to deep blend seamlessly with your natural skin tone while transforming your skin into moisturized skin that enhances your natural beauty. It has a satiny finish with coverage that is easy to build upon and is scented using light amounts of Bergamot, Orange, and Ylang Ylang Essential Oils. This is the perfect product for that light summer coverage, but it makes a great base if you prefer to apply another foundation over the top. There are over five UV protective ingredients as well as many anti-aging ingredients such as Vitamin E, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Adenosine, and Niacinamide. It is not silicone free as there is Dimethicone and Phenyl Trimethicone. This cream is suitable for normal to dry skin types but those with very dry skin will benefit from using a moisturizer underneath to provide extra hydration. My background is in biological sciences and I have been a professional skincare blogger for the past three years.

CLE CCC Cream works as a primer, foundation,  SPF all-in-one. It has a lightweight yet buildable coverage that I would say ranges from that of a tinted moisturizer up to a medium coverage foundation, depending on the desired application. As a licensed cosmetologist with several years experience in cosmetic sales, I love the wide color selection this product offers with ten different shades to choose from. This feature brings confidence to consumers in the ability to find their desired/best-suited shade for their skin tone. When trying this CCC cream out on my own skin, my preferred shade was medium-light. It's nude base with neutral undertones warmed and blended nicely into my skin. I did however find the luminosity to be a bit too sheen for my liking, but it was easily toned down by topping with a light layer of pressed powder. Lastly, I love that this product carries a high SPF 50, but I personally prefer a full physical block while this one is a combination of both a physical and a chemical. Physical sunscreens are composed of safer ingredients for the body and are also a better choice for sensitive skin types.

As a licensed esthetician, I still like to use separate skincare products for each step, just like I learned in school 10 years ago. Layering moisturizer on top of serum, SPF on top of moisturizer is a simple way to make sure each product is living up to its full potential. That being said, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this CCC cream. I don’t typically like BB creams or CC creams, the earlier edition ‘cousins’ to CCC. Initially squeezing it into my hand, I was surprised by the thick texture of this cream. It was difficult to get it all to absorb into my skin, just like when using a mineral sunscreen. I didn’t love the thickness or the process of rubbing it in. However, once I was done, I did love the coverage. I have a minor case of rosacea that was particularly red after a workout and shower. As soon as I finished applying, my skin looked much smoother, glowier, and more neutral. Though it felt thick to apply, once it was on my face it was smooth and weightless, like I was wearing no more than a moisturizer. I likely won’t switch from my layering routine to using this cream everyday, but it’s a nice product with good coverage that I’ll pick up from time to time.<br/>**This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**

The CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream has quickly become one of my favorite products. I have been able to reduce the amount of products I use on my face which I love. The formula is lightweight and leaves you with a beautiful canvas. The cc cream helps to color correct any areas of discoloration, redness. The bb cream leaves you with an even color. The spf 50 was a huge sell for me as well. With the need for skin protection especially as you age it is rare to find a product like this with this much protection. This product also acts as your primer and foundation. Being someone who doesn’t like the feel of most makeup they helps you to achieve these benefits, I have found this to be the best product for my fave all around. It leaves your skin with a healthy, dewy look which I really enjoy. I am still in shock at all the benefits in such a lightweight formula but I will most definitely be purchasing more of this product loving forward. It is going to be a wonderful cream for the summer months allowing you to feel good about your skins overall appearance while knowing it is protected and virtually weightless. As a licensed cosmetologist of 18 years, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a lightweight formula that still has good coverage and an added protection of 50 spf. I feel the price point is inexpensive for the benefits it provides. <br/>**This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
