What does CC in CC cream represent, and what is its purpose?

Colorful Composition; to brighten skin tone
Color Correcting cream; it evens out skin tones and provides light coverage
Color Cosmetic; for enhancing makeup appearance
Complexion Control; to moisturize dry skin

The correct answer is: Color Correcting cream; it evens out skin tones and provides light coverage

CC in CC cream stands for "Color Correcting cream." The purpose of CC cream is to even out skin tones while providing a lightweight coverage that helps to conceal imperfections. This product typically contains color-correcting pigments that target specific skin issues, such as redness, dullness, or discoloration, creating a more balanced and uniform complexion. By blending seamlessly into the skin, CC cream not only functions as a cosmetic product but can also offer additional benefits, such as hydration and sun protection. This distinguishes it from other products like BB cream, which primarily focuses on providing light coverage and hydration, and traditional foundation, which offers heavier coverage. CC cream is especially popular among users looking for a more natural look while still addressing uneven skin tones.
