A CC cream (short for “colour correcting”) is a skincare-makeup hybrid that evens tone, hydrates and protects — all in one step. It gives light, natural coverage while adding moisture and SPF protection. Unlike heavier foundations, CC creams balance and brighten skin instead of masking it.
City CC Hyaluronic Anti-Pollution CC Cream SPF15 includes hyaluronic acid, plant antioxidants and mineral UV filters to smooth, protect and give a hydrated glow. It’s perfect for anyone who wants an effortless, even finish that looks like skin — only fresher and more alive.
Can CC cream replace moisturiser, foundation and SPF in my routine?
Yes, a CC cream can replace your foundation, moisturiser, and mineral sunscreen on low-effort days, since it hydrates, evens tone and offers basic UV protection. But for full skincare benefits, it’s best to keep your moisturiser and broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen in the routine. That's because CC creams usually provide lighter hydration and moderate SPF, not enough for prolonged sun exposure.
Layering a proper moisturiser underneath will grant deep hydration and comfort, while finishing with a dedicated mineral sunscreen will ensure real protection. Apply moisturiser first, CC cream next, and finish with sunscreen for a hydrated, protected and radiant complexion.
Can I use CC cream as foundation?
Yes, you can absolutely use CC cream as your foundation, especially if you prefer a natural, skin-first finish. It delivers light, even coverage that smooths uneven tone while keeping your skin hydrated and protected. The difference is in the finish — CC cream feels lighter, looks more natural and lets your skin breathe.
It won’t cover everything like full foundation, but it gives that fresh, healthy-skin look with added skincare benefits. Perfect for everyday wear when you want smooth, fresh, breathable coverage that feels like skincare but performs like makeup.
How do I choose the right CC cream shade and finish?
To find your perfect CC cream match, start with your undertone and depth. If you’re fair with cool or neutral tones, go for Light. Warmer, medium tones fit Beige or Medium, and deeper golden tones suit Tan. You can also try our Find My Shade that's designed to find your closest shade effortlessly.
As for the finish — all four shades deliver a natural, skin-like finish that evens tone, adds radiance, hydrates and delivers mineral SPF 15 protection. Think effortless, glowing coverage that feels like skincare, not makeup.
Can I wear CC cream daily?
You can absolutely wear CC cream every day. It’s designed for daily use, combining hydration, protection and light coverage in one easy step without the weight of foundation.
Our City CC Hyaluron Anti-Pollution CC Cream is enriched with skincare-level ingredients and mineral SPF 15 to help defend against pollution and UV damage while keeping your complexion even, dewy and fresh. It’s the perfect low-maintenance option for easy mornings or no-makeup days when you still want your skin to look good
