without the heavy, cakey feel.
But did it live up to the hype?
Read on for my review.

The company firstgained popularity on the QVC home shopping channelbefore being acquired by L’Oreal in 2016.
My skin jot down is normalnot super dry or oilyand breakouts are a rare occurrence for me.
Im also pretty lazy and dont do much by way of makeup or even skincare.

On a regular day, I cant be bothered to do much more than wear a littlemoisturizerandsunscreen.
Ingredients: Skin-Friendly
One of the things I liked most about this product is its formula.
Research has shown that niacinamide in particular can significantly reduce inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and reduce signs of aging.

This product also has broad-spectrum mineral SPF 50 protection, thanks tozinc oxideand titanium dioxide.
While it definitely wont replace my sunscreen (shoutout to Supergoop!
Unseen Sunscreen) its nice to know that theres an extra layer of built-in protection.
Ive also had challenges accurately matching my skin tone, which has neutral, slightly golden undertones.
Color selection was definitely my biggest concern with this CC cream, which comes in 12 shades.
I chose Rich, which ended up being a pretty decent match.
If I leaned more cool-toned, it definitely would not have worked.
It isnt thick and gloopy, thoughit floats somewhere in the middle.
Overall, I really liked the feel of it because, well, Ididn’tfeel it.
One pump covers the back of my hand and it spreads really easily over my skin.
It definitely has a weightless quality, and it didn’t irritate my skin at all.
Its definitely buildable, too, so if you wanted more coverage, you could definitely achieve it.
The Laura Mercier option also has a better shade selection but is a touch more expensive.
Maybelline Dream Cover:This is apopular dupeof IT’s CC+ Cream and is much more affordable.
Final Verdict
Overall, I liked IT Cosmetics' CC+ Cream with SPF 50+.
If the brand came out with more shades, I’d be much more likely to recommend.
