What the gurus are saying

Lighter and sheerer than the original IT CC cream is the draw here, and the gurus who like it call it natural, not drying and still going strong after a full day. The split is the glow. Others find it stays wet, turns shiny without powder and settles into wrinkles by hour ten. There's also a flag that the box lists no expiry date for the SPF.

"But if you're like me, you have oily skin and you're getting up there in age. Now, with this one, I'm also using the shade Deep Honey because it's more color correcting. I do like a little slight warmth in my skin, and this just looks so beautiful on. Today I have a combination of both on by accident, because I just reached into the drawer, pulled this out, and started putting it on. [...] I did mean to put this on, but I started to put this on, so I kind of put this on over it, and we like it."

"My concern is that the box had been opened a little bit. I did open it and look to see if it had an expiration date on it, and it did not. It has a batch code on the very bottom, but I feel like this is probably very old stock. And the beautiful part is they don't put an SPF expiration date on there, so you really have no idea if it's old or not. So they can sell old stock, versus a brand that has an expiration date on it, where you would know when it expired. So, kind of convenient there."

"The one thing I wanted to try was the IT Cosmetics CC+ Nude Glow Color Correcting Medium Coverage Skin Tint SPF 40. IT Cosmetics makes some really nice different foundation types, and this was one I wanted to try. [...] After I buy it, I'm sure they'll discontinue it and change the formula and make a different one, because that seems to be what they do. But I'm interested in trying it, especially if it's half off."

"It's much more wearable I think than the original CC cream because it's not as heavy and it's not as pigmented, and I felt like it looked much more natural on skin. I'm actually wearing it again today because I really kind of like it, and I wear it in the light medium shade. [...] Someone said in the comments that I'd reviewed it a while ago and really hated it, [...] so I went back and watched the review. [...] In watching it, I didn't hate it, and I didn't love it either."

"It's a lot less thick and a lot less pigmented than the traditional IT CC cream. It's a little bit lighter, a little bit sheer. It has a chemical sunscreen in it instead of a mineral sunscreen. I also find the original CC cream a little bit drying on me, and this one wasn't drying at all, so I really like this formula a lot better. It's a lot more lightweight, very pretty on the skin, very natural, and it lasted all day."

"It gets shiny without powder and accentuates pores and texture. [...] It doesn't look good up close [...] even though it looked okay from a distance at five hours, and at ten hours it's settled into my wrinkles and can look patchy and uneven. All in all I did not love the IT Cosmetics CC Plus Nude Glow—it's not the worst thing I've ever tried but it certainly isn't the best thing either."

"I like this one. It is more pigmented than I like to use on a regular basis, though. [...] Personally, I like the original more than the glow. If I were to choose between the two, this one just stays really, really wet, and I can't stand that. I think this is that iteration, taking the concept of adding oil or moisturizer to make it glowy, [...] but I agree it's not going to be my go-to with all the skin tints on the market now. [...] It doesn't dry down the way I want it to."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
