Review: Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream

By Herugliness
Hello! ~ Today I will review the Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream for you. This is another product that was  was kindly sponsored to me by W2Beauty, a store specializing on Korean beauty products. This CC Cream comes in a simple designed 35ml tube, which has a handy and hygienic pump dispenser. The outer packing is also quite simple, but still somewhat elegant looking, made of a solid craft paper-like material with some nice flower imprinting on it. This CC Cream is available in two different versions: "Brightening" and "Cover". I don't care for brightening and I have also heard this version had a "dewy" finish, which I don't like, so I went for the Cover one.Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream ReviewInnisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream ReviewAccording to Innisfree "this cover up CC cream is formulated with serum's abundant moisturizing ingredients to provide delicate sleekness and contains skin tone powder to naturally cover skin imperfections." It also has a sun protection of SPF35 / PA++.
Sadly the rest of the text on the box is in Korean only, so I have no clue about the product's ingredient list. Innisfree is known for using lots of plant extracts though and the scent of the CC Cream reminds me of a mixture of calendula and sunblocker scent.
Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream Review
I have not tried many CC Creams so far, but the ones I tried usually worked like this: You have a white cream that contains many tiny (not really visible) colored balls, and if you start rubbing the CC Cream on your face, these burst and let out the color, meaning you start out with a white product on your face and adjust the color by rubbing the cream into your skin. Personally I have not been the greatest fan of this kind of application, because I like to apply BB Cream/ CC Cream / Foundation on my face very lightly and then apply slightly thicker layers on areas that need extra cover, like under my eyes, around my nose, on red spots and so on - basically like a concealer. But since you have a white cream with the usual products, you cannot just apply it like that, but need to rub the cream in thoroughly and the more you rub it in, the thiner the layer gets, which makes covering up single imperfections much more difficult. The Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream is different - It is the first CC Cream that isn't white, but comes out of the tube in something close to its final shade. When I swatched it on my hand, my first impression was that the CC Cream had a slightly orange undertone that did not match my skin very well, at least not the one on my hand. However, when applied, the CC Cream adjusted really well to my skin tone, and was much paler and white-shaded than what I expected.

The coverage of the Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream is just perfect for my taste: It evens out my skin tone, hides minor blemishes just well, without making my face look mask-like or caky and gives my face a matte finish. It combines the lightweight texture of a CC Cream with the decent coverage of a light BB Cream and works really well for me. It's neither too creamy, nor too liquid, easy to apply and easy to blend. The oil control of this product is average - I guess it will work very well on normal skin, though it struggles with my extremely oily skin after a few hours, which is something I already expected.
Innisfree CC Cover Serum CC Cream ReviewAs far as CC Creams go, this is the best product I have tried so far. I am quite fond of it and love using it during the hot summer days. I also love how you can adjust the coverage you need as it is very built-able with multiple layers. I certainly can recommend this and it made me want to try out more Innisfree CC- and BB Creams in the future. If this product caught your interest, you can purchase it from W2Beauty here.
