L'Oréal Paris Magic CC Cream with SPF 11, Anti-Redness and Colour Correcting, With Vitamins B5 and E, Lightweight Hydrating Formula Adapts to Skin Tone for a Natural Glowy Finish, 30 ml

This is a review for both the BB and CC under this listing as I've bought both and using both. I originally got the CC version as I'm very pale and red, acne prone. The CC cream is excellent at covering redness, I just wore it instead of foundation and weirdly people commented there was something different about me and I looked well? 🤣 Anyway, although it covered the redness I personally thought it came up a little too orange around the jawline but as it's the best CC cream I've come across I didn't want to stop using it altogether. This is when I decided to get the light 02 BB cream shade. I was skeptical about the shade as I have literally tried every BB cream out there in my quest to stop wearing heavy foundation (I have to wear some form of tinted cream because my face is , as mentioned above, acne prone and red and blotchy, otherwise I'd love to wear nothing). Every one I've tried made me look like an oompa loompa. This is the first one that doesn't! It comes out white and then warms. I use a different blend sponge with both the CC cream and BB cream and now what I do, after my serum and suncream, is add the CC cream first on the red areas like my cheeks, around my nose, and any spots on my chin. Then I add a small splodge of the BB cream on my forehead , cheeks and jaw, middle of nose and chin. Then I blend it all in and the combination of them both looks amazing and now I don't have the orangy look around the jawline as I just use the BB cream on the jawline. The combination is honestly the best thing I've come across and I haven't picked up my foundation in like a month now. I will continue to use the BB cream and CC cream together. I appreciate some say it's not light, don't let that put you off though. I'm very pale, I've always chosen like Ivory in most foundation shades if that helps, then maybe the next one up during summer months. It's a case of just trying it with BB creams. One day you'll find the right one!

Love this moisturiser which colours to match your skin. Easy to apply light and smooth finish - also has a slight 'camoflaging effect' Little required for good coverage, tube lasts ages, so that makes it very good value

This is a review for the CC Cream with SPF 11, Anti-Redness and Colour Correcting cream. I emphasise the type of product I'm reviewing, as I read so many conflicting reviews which lead me to believe that sometimes the reviewers are not quite clear on the function of the product they're reviewing. Not all CC creams are created the same. They may come in different colours and hues to address different skin concerns. Anti-redness CC creams often appear green because they are specifically formulated to neutralise skin redness. This is based on colour theory, where green and red sit directly opposite each other on the colour wheel, meaning they cancel each other out when layered. The green pigment targets concerns like rosacea, acne-induced redness, broken capillaries, or general skin irritation. By cancelling out red tones, the cream creates a more neutral, even-toned base before applying other makeup. Some, like L'Oreal, also employ skin-adapting technology, which means they use encapsulated pigments. These tiny capsules break upon application, causing the green cream to transform into a beige or skin-toned shade that blends with your natural complexion. I really like this CC cream. It fulfills it primary function beautifully. It corrects my facial redness and reduces the visibility of my broken capillaries whilst it smooth and evens my skin complexion at the same time. It is green and very light in consistency. The green adapts to the natural skin tone nicely. Easily applied, the cream absorbs quickly, provides very good coverage and leaves the skin feeling well hydrated for hours. One thing important to me is that it does not contain any drying alcohols and the formula is designed to provide up to 24 hours of hydration using glycerin and fig extracts. I do not detect any specific smell but the formulation does contain perfumes and fragrance ingredients, which could be problematic for sensitive skin,which is something to be aware of. I have not experienced any irritation or adverse reactions at all. To cover half a face, one needs about a small pea sized amount of the product, so the 30ml size will last for quite a while, which makes this cream a very good value for money. One slight criticism I have is the SPF 11; in my opinion this is just a marketing gimmick. SPF 11 is such a low SPF, that, if one is serious about the skin protection, is not even worth considering. Also the product description on Amazon is not good, it mixes the CC and BB creams and provides conflicting or insufficient info. CC anti-redness creams are supposed to be applied to the affected area only, i.e. your cheeks, so for the rest of your face you will still have to use another product. For these 2 reasons I am deducting a star, otherwise I fully recommend this cream. In summary, I consider this to be a very good quality cream at a bargain price, and I will purchase it again.

I actually bought this by mistake instead of cc cream version as I found that to be a little too orange for my pale skin. This actually looks great on my skin, no orange tinge to it and blends well..

I've been using this product for a few months now and am very torn. I was a bit unsure my first few times using it because it comes out green and then goes VERY orange on your skin, however once I worked out you just need fo blend it in a bit and the orange goes away, it was fine. I've suffered with acne for years, and also struggle with rosacea and scarring, and honestly I have never come across a product that can cover my redness as well as this. If I have actual spots or need my makeup to last all day, I have been putting some pressed power on top as well, but if I want a "no makeup" day it still looks good and makes me so much more confident. I also like how lightweight it feels - if I only wear this, it hardly feels like I have anything on. Now comes the negative... I think this product is aggrevating me acne. I wasn't sure at first as I had noticed I was having a bout of more spots than usual, but I initially put it down to wearing more suncream because it's summer, wearing more makeup whilst on holiday, etc. I tried changing a few of my products and found the biggest difference to my spots has been stopping using this product. I've swapped to another more acne friendly brand the past couple of weeks and my spots have cleared right up. I can't say for certain, but it seems it was this CC cream which was the culprit. Such a shame

There are quite a few reviews about this CC cream. I thought I must apply my own. So I am used to using Clinicare Dermo Corrective Cream in medium which is very expensive and to be honest I ran out and didn’t want to spend the money just for 30ml. Anyway I came across this CC cream. I am a great lover of L’Oréal and use a lot of their branded hair care, cosmetics etc and wanted to try. I am, I would say fair to light skin tone. I am also freckled on the face. My skin can be dry on my nose and sometimes my chin area. I read a lot of reviews that this CC cream can appear orange on some people or develop an orange tinge later on in the day. I have to say in my own experience this is not the case. It’s a buildable cream that you must blend in. Now I use several skin care products prior to putting this CC cream on re wash face, serum and moisturiser. I also use a light weight primer. I then use my hands to blend in the CC cream which initially comes out fairly darker but it adapts to skin and you will see this over the time in which you are putting other make up on. I have to say I have found this a winner and more importantly I have noticed no breakouts on my chin area which for me has been a problem for a while. I use this combined with Maybelline’s pink corrective concealer and light colour concealer under the eyes and I then contour. I also use Elf blush stick for my cheeks and finish with the usual mascara and a setting spray. I have never been a lover of foundation. It feels heavy and covers up my face too much that I lose that natural complexion and that’s not what I want to achieve. I want to look natural and not cakey and this CC cream achieves that added with the face it covers up redness really good for mild adult acne sufferers like myself. This is certainly worth the money and I definitely would recommend.

I buy this cream second time , you skin looks natural, easy to use, just shame all this color transfer on to cloth and hard to wash off. Need to be carefully what you wear.

Does colour change but it's fairly orange tones as as I have fair skin, doesn't work for me
