Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte w/ SPF 40

I have this and the original and depending on my mood I would switch between the two. What I love about this formula is it really covers my redness really good and I understand that some people might be averse to the thickness of the cream. However, I find that it soothes my textures and it gives a nice glow as the day goes on.

For reference, I am between NC 20 to 25 and the shade light …Read more

I really wanted to like this cream so very much but alas, for me it is a no go. I tried the Deep in the store and initially, the color and coverage seemed perfect, but once I got it home and used it alone, it was more like a weird kabuki mask! It just sat on top of my skin and never blended in well. This somehow made my skin appear oily and dusty looking at the same time! Oh well, back to …Read more

I would put this at more of a 3.5. I have sensitive acne-prone skin and finding foundation that agrees with me is hard. I loved the way the original CC made my skin look but it was giving me some closed comedones. I found out that they make this oil-free version and gave it a try. It’s not perfect but it’s one of the best I’ve been able to find. The original version makes your skin glow but this …Read more

I prefer this new Matte formulation to the BB creme which was far to shiny on me.
This is not like a traditional beauty balm. It is more of a foundation; however, if I use a brush it is much easier to apply a thin layer, using only my fingers it is to thick and settles in my fine lines near my eyes. Good coverage on spots, redness, whatever.
I've liked it enough to purchase it …Read more

For reference, I have normal-to-oily skin, very prone to clogged pores, with a history of cystic acne. You can see why a CC cream marketed as oil-free and matte would be very appealing to me. I got the shade Fair, which is too light for my NC20, olive-undertoned skin, but their shade range is pretty limited.

This doesn't have a scent, and feels very light on the skin. I also love …Read more

I had heard great things from other people but I absolutely hated this product. It would barely stay on my face and I looked like a greasy mess after 30 mins. The only thing I can say is that it didn't appear to cause me to break out.

I really wanted to love this product. I've read so many reviews raving about the miracles of this CC cream. It does mattify and it lasts a good amount of time and it doesn't transfer too badly. However, the coverage is just ok and if I didn't colour correct my dark spots and redness before applying it, it certainly does not colour correct for me. It's very expensive also which …Read more

Tried both the regular IT CC and this matte version - samples from Sephora. First off - the shade range is horrible. I'm NC15-20 and fair was completely too white, I looked like a ghost, shade fair-light was too pink, and shade light was oompa loompa orange and like, 3 shades too dark for my face.

I tested fair because it was my only option, applied with a damp sponge, and it …Read more

For background on my skin, I have sensitive, dry-to-very dry, acne prone skin. I also suffer with seborrheic dermatitis that I get worst on my face. And, I am using genetic Retin A 0.1 cream, which does come with harsh side effects, but the good happens to far outweigh the bad with this stuff. I have always had sun sensitive skin, and with my usage of Retin A it has made my skin even more sun …Read more

I marked that I would buy again but I'm not 100% sure yet. I found that I have to be very careful what I pair this with. This looked atrocious on me with IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC powder over it, which was suggested to me at Sephora. However, if I use a matte primer, a very thin layer of this product with Coty Airspun/Laura Mercier Loose/MAC Prep + Prime, it looks really good …Read more
