Get flawless skin in a flash with this all-in-one miracle minimalist product

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Temple chapter.

Utilizing the latest K-beauty innovations, CLE Cosmetics CCC+ cream makes my skin picture perfect and ready to go in seconds. 

The past year and a half has seriously changed the way I think about my daily makeup routine. Transitioning from full-on zoom world to in-person classes and events has been difficult since I– like many–spent about a year exclusively in sweatpants and face masks. But thankfully, I’ve found CLE’s CCC+ cream, so, I can still look polished and put together even when rushing to an 8 am class or zoom room. Not only does this CCC cream give me buildable and adjustable coverage for a flawless and even tone, but it’s also packed full of beneficial skincare ingredients—making it easily one of my makeup bag MVP’s.

Body: CLE’s CCC Cream–short for Color, Control & Change Cream, takes inspiration from K-beauty’s trendiest tinted color-correcting BB and CC creams– but offers far better coverage for a flawless complexion in an instant. The cream uses special technology to blend its original color to better match your skin tone and works for all skin types—even sensitive and acne-prone. The result is sheer, radiant, coverage you can build without feeling heavy on the skin. The cream combines moisturizer, SPF, foundation, primer, and free-radical fighting antioxidants, all into a single product for a one-stop flawless glow.

Available in ten shades designed for all skin tones from light to deep, CCC+ uses microcapsule technology to separate the cream from the tint. When the CCC+ hits your skin, those capsules break, making for a product that transitions more naturally to match your skin tone—while also functioning as a moisturizer and primer thanks to hydrating hyaluronic acid, restorative coconut oil, and other radiance boosting anti-aging ingredients like Vitamin C and niacinamide. 

On top of the amazing skincare benefits from this cruelty-free, paraben-free, and vegan product, CLE’s CCC+ cream has an innovative, next-level feature in sun protection. The cream delivers a whopping SPF 50 PA+++, which means in addition to traditional sunscreen protection, it also offers broad-spectrum SPF from UVA rays. Although UVA rays do not cause sunburn, they are a main cause of extrinsic aging and have the potential to cause indirect damage to cell DNA. The effects of UVA damage can be sneaky, which is why the cream’s protection against them is such a powerful benefit.

It’s hard to find a base that is good for your skin and actually performs nicely as a makeup product. However, from my perspective as both a Makeup Artist and Skincare Esthetician, CLE’s CCC+ has blown me away. This innovative product is so different from any other BB or CC cream on the market. It provides beautiful, buildable, radiant—but never greasy looking– coverage, and helps simplify my morning skincare routine. I am absolutely obsessed and would encourage everyone to pick up their own CLE cream—you won’t be disappointed.
