What do the initials BB, CC and DD mean?
BB creams
BB stands for
beauty balm, i.e. balm for marks
(acne, discoloration, pimples, etc.). Essentially, it is a moisturizing care that doubles as makeup and promises even color and shine. It is
suitable for women under 30.
CC Creams
The
CC (Color Correction) cream is a
corrective color care developed to correct skin color imperfections (redness, freckles, discolorations). It is the successor to the BB cream, offering deep care, but with a lighter coverage that does not replace make up.
It is suitable for women over 30.
DD Creams
The generation of
DD (daily defense cream) creams is a
combination of the actions of BB and CC creams while additionally providing protection against free radicals caused by pollution (
antioxidant protection, antiaging).
