Max Factor CC Cream

I was really looking forward to giving this product a go due to the fact that I had tried the BB creams.

Depending on what your needs/concerns are the differences aren't huge between the BB creams & CC creams, in my opinion.

I really like the CC cream, I choose Medium colour, which may have been a tad to dark for me (but still workable) just didnt go as heavy handed with the product next time I used it.

I found this gave more a light foundation coverage, which you could build on if you wanted a heavy coverage throughout the day. It definitely concealed the redness on my cheeks, which I was mainly wanting, lasting power was good & naturalness of the product great. It felt lovely & smooth on my skin.

Talk about a little goes a long way, this sure does. I was a little heavy handed at first, but have toned it down & really happy with how this product peforms. A whole lot of happiness with this product, would buy again & a great price bracket. Thanks BR for the opp to trial this :-)

I've been told that CC creams are exactly the same as bb creams and should waste my money when I already have bb creams. Errrrr Wrong!

Firstly, I found the CC cream had much more substance than bb creams I have and secondly, provided much more coverage than I have gotten from bb creams.

This cream felt so luxurious on my face and I feel the nourishing effect on my skin while wearing it. I use it under mineral powder as I have acne and acne scaring so I need lots of coverage.

This cream really didnt feel like a makeup but like a skincare product that perfectly complimented my foundation. This is now a permanent feature in my handbag and will be until I find the next best cream ;)

Wore it to work and it must look good because my work colleague is off to buy some too! It still looked good at the end of the day too. I really struggle with redness and I was thrilled with the results. Too soon to know about break out with my temperamental peri-menopausal skin but fingers crossed. Will report back in due course.

I actually bought this in the UK to use during a 6 week holiday in the hot european summer when I was finding my normal foundation too heavy. I absolutely loved it. My skin has quite a lot of red colouring around my cheeks if I dont wear anything, and I found this CC cream really evened out my skin tone and lasted relatively well, even without powder on top. It gives a really nice natural finish.

The average temperatures during our trip were high 20s and sometimes in the 30s and i didn't feel like it melted off my face (i have oily/combo skin so this is always a big problem for me). It was still on in the afternoon even with lots of sweating etc - yeah it was shiny but I think thats normal in the heat! I assume it would work even better in just normal temperatures :) Would definetley recommend and re-buy, way better than the BB creams I have tried.

I use this most days just under powder and it gives me a good natural look & feels like its not there. Easy to blend & didn't make my skin react

I had always wanted to try this CC cream so when Farmers had a 20% off sale I thought never could be a better time to buy. I purchased the CC Cream in fair as I have pale skin and most BB creams that come in light/fair are always too dark, so I was over the moon when I had finally found a foundation/cream that suited my skin tone perfectly. I looked at the bottle and didn't think it would go by far considering BB creams tend to be used quickly, but I was surprised that so little cream could spread so far. I apply one line under each eye (as I have very bad under eye redness) and one dot about the size of my pinky nail on each my forehead and chin. I use my Manicare beauty blender to blend it all in and I have a perfect complexion of clear skin. I apply it at 7am and at 5pm still looks as good as when I applied it. The formula is very opaque, so it covers redness very well, and spreads easily as it is runnier than most BB creams (such as Garnier). I have been using it for almost 5 weeks, 5/6 days a week and I feel as though it still has as much product in he container as when I purchased it, so it is a long lasting product. The product has a nice fragrance to it which is pleasant and not overwhelming.

I have been using this product for a while now, after I picked it up when it was on special at Farmers. I have been obsessed with BB Creams, and was excited to try the new CC Cream range. I was more than impressed with this product! Something i'm always looking for is a product that is natural, but with coverage. This CC definitely provides that! It has a natural finish, and provides a little tint as well which is great for my more pale complexion - I got the shade fair. It does have great lasting power, I apply it early morning and even by 6 in the evening it's still great. I apply just a small amount of product of my nose, cheeks and forehead and just blend it out using my fingertips, and because it is more of a runny product this works fine. Would definitely recommend this and would buy again!

I purchased the tanned CC cream and am thrilled with the results. I have some ares of pigmentation/ uneven skin tone and I found the CC cream was effective in giving my skin an overall even tone. It has a lovely creamy consistency which didn't dry out my skin. I also love the fact it has an SPF . I will definitely repurchase this product

I'm a fan of max factor products in general, so I purchased this very soon after it first came out in NZ. I bought the fair tone, which is excellent for ladies with fair skin. The formula is lightweight and easy to apply with your fingers. The coverage was much better than I was expecting. I have a fair but ruddy complexion at times and this cancelled out my redness nicely. It also gave a slightly dewy finish. A little does go a long way and I am still on my original tube. I mainly wear it during the weekends or days off work where I want less coverage but still want to look socially acceptable! Staying power is ok, not as good as my regular foundation of course, but I would suggest setting it with a powder should you want longevity from the product.
