"The IT Cosmetics CC Cream SPF 50 is one I've been using for a long time, and I always come back to this. It covers, it treats, it protects. It has vitamin E, glycerin, and SPF 50 in one step. For someone who wants meaningful coverage without the feel of a traditional foundation, this consistently delivers."

"Sometimes, if I need a little more coverage, I'll do the IT Cosmetics CC+ cream on top of the SPF. On top of the regular sunscreen, I'll alternate between tinted sunscreen and the CC+ cream. My shade of IT Cosmetics CC+ cream is the fair light."

"The deep shade range is extremely limited and there's no real undertone variation in the darker shades. The formula is thick and sits on top of the skin rather than blending in naturally. It doesn't actually cover hyperpigmentation or texture, it just sits there, and it tends to look flat and gray on deeper skin tones."

"The IT Cosmetics CC Cream just didn't work for me. It does deliver the full coverage it promises, but the texture felt heavy, almost like a thick moisturizer mixed with concealer, and it has a citrussy scent that reminded her of air fresheners. Within the first two hours it started breaking down around her nose and mouth, and by hour four it looked like she'd been wearing the foundation for three days straight, patchy and crusty. Applying it was tricky: fingers didn't work at all and kept lifting the product off, a sponge was better but still lifted product in previously applied areas, and a dense foundation brush gave the most even coverage. She wears the shade Light, a good match but on the lighter side, out of 30 available shades, though her store only stocked about a third and the rest had to be ordered online, calling it a 47 euro gamble. On the SPF 50+ claim, she said the amount needed to actually reach that protection level, four to five pumps, would be completely unwearable, since she normally uses one to one and a half pumps. The formula's SPF ingredients differ by shade, with lighter shades using Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide and deeper shades using Homosalate, Octisalate and Octocrylene instead, which she thinks could explain why some people love it and others hate it. It also contains Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, snail secretion filtrate, Green Tea Extract, Colloidal Oatmeal, and two peptides from the Matrixyl 3000 complex, plus citrus essential oils that might irritate sensitive skin. The result was the same whether her skin was oilier in summer or drier in winter from her Tretinoin use."

"I purchased the IT Cosmetics CC Cream in the shade Fair, something that had been on my to buy list for years. I'm probably the last person on Earth to try this CC cream, and despite reading a ton of reviews on it, I have to say I really enjoy it. But it is absolutely not what I expected it to be, which is totally a me problem, because it is exactly what every review describes it to be: quite opaque in coverage."

"I used to religiously wear my IT Cosmetics CC Cream as my sunscreen, that was it, that was all I would put on, and I thought it's SPF 50, I am protected. And you know what, listen, it gives you a little bit of protection, there's no doubt about it, but the amount of makeup that you have to use to actually reach that kind of protection would look so funny on your skin. It would be clown looking makeup, you would look like you have a face mask on to be able to achieve the actual SPF number that is on that makeup if you're just relying on your makeup. Makeup with SPF as your actual sunscreen is out, that is out."
