A Makeup Artist Says These 10 CC Creams Do the Most for Mature Skin

Geller's go-to product is her brand's Quench-n-Tint Hydrating Foundation, which she argues is more of a CC cream for all skin types. "It has a refreshing, lightweight feel and includes hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture. It gives my skin a dewy, youthful glow!" To take it one step further, she pairs the CC Cream with her Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer in Hydrate for added moisture and coverage.

Customer review: "I'm 52 and have been looking for that perfect makeup that won't make me look older. It's light and creamy and feels good on my skin. No settling in lines, and it gives a really nice natural look. I've spent way too much money on foundations, and this is definitely the winner!"

Pro: Lightweight with an easy-to-blend formula

Con: None

This hydrating, anti-aging product is formulated with physical SPF 50+, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and niacinamide for a product that works brilliantly as a full-coverage foundation, a serum, and a sunscreen (hence the + following the CC on the packaging).

Customer review: "I love this product. [It's the] only kind I use now. Goes on like silk. So blendable. My 51-year-old, dry, sun-damaged skin looks hydrated and glowy. No settling in the creases. Great coverage. Get it!"

Pro: Lightweight with a full-coverage finish

Con: Leaves a white cast

Leave it to BareMinerals to create a clean, multitasking moisturizer that's available in a variety of shades, allows for sheer and natural coverage, and uses a blend of SPF 30 and other ingredients for a flawless finish.

Customer review: "Absolutely love this tinted moisturizer! I have pretty dry skin, and this can keep my face moisturized throughout the day. It's very natural, and it's easily buildable if you need more coverage. Love that it is also SPF 30 and doesn't feel sticky at all. Highly recommend this product to people with dry skin!"

Pro: Mineral-based SPF coverage

Con: Limited shade range

By Terry's Cellularose Moisturizing CC Cream offers a non-oily texture that blurs fine lines, subtly tints the skin, and provides moisture for a healthy, glowing complexion that lasts.

Customer review: "This is just beautiful, smells gorgeous, applies beautifully, and gives a great natural finish with plenty of coverage for a CC cream. A little goes a very long way, and I know that this has become a new make-up staple for me! The pump is great as you don't waste any product too!"

Pro: Natural-looking with a luminous finish

Con: Does not offer full coverage

This CC cream uses a powerful blend of apple extract, red-seaweed extract, and Irish moss to brighten, soothe, and protect the skin while providing a smooth and glowing complexion for all skin types.

Customer review: "One of my favorite new products! I have sensitive skin, and this gives me the coverage I need with no breakouts! Also, I get compliments on how natural my skin looks and what foundation I'm using. People are always shocked that I don't use foundation. 100/10 love this!"

Pro: Ultra-hydrating formula

Con: Potentially difficult to shade-match

Using a lightweight cream formula, this CC cream can be worn alone, over your favorite moisturizer, or under a foundation to help combat redness, dullness, and sallowness for a flawless finish.

Customer review: "This cream basically erased the redness on my face and created a fresh-looking, moisturized base. I usually have to go through several steps to get to my 'ready palette' but not with this! Love it."

Pro: Ultra moisturizing

Con: Not fragrance-free, irritating for sensitive skin

Dermablend's weightless and breathable Continuous Correction CC Cream gives its wearer full coverage without clogging pores or weighing down the skin for a radiant and healthy visage.

Customer review: "This is absolutely amazing. It took very little product to cover my face, and redness from rosacea over my t-zone is completely camouflaged. For decades, I've been trying tinted primers, liquid and mineral powder foundations together, loose powders, concealers, and more foundations. This did the job and made my skin look nearly perfect in one application."

Pro: Formula contains SPF 50+

Con: Sets quickly and is difficult to blend

Offered in 30 shades, E.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream is a full-coverage color-correcting foundation infused with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, collagen, and SPF for healthy and vibrant-looking skin packed in 1.05 oz.

Customer review: "My skin is more mature, and I haven't had luck with IT Cosmetics CC cream in terms of appearance and shades. I found a good shade match with this ELF product and lightly applied it over a glowy primer sunscreen. It looks great."

Pro: Hyaluronic-acid-infused formula

Con: Not ideal for acne-prone skin

Here's a CC cream that truly does it all by offering sheer-to-buildable coverage with a skincare-infused tinted moisturizer formula to brighten and even your complexion. The best part? It serves as a moisturizer, foundation, primer, and SPF.

Customer review: "I have been looking for a product like this for over a year. I finally found the perfect coverage with a nice glow. It makes my face look wonderful. I need the light glowing look to counteract the paleness that I normally have."

Pro: Offers sheer coverage that's buildable

Con: Not ideal for dry skin

"It Cosmetics CC Illumination is IT for me," a reviewer writes. "The color (medium) is a perfect match for my skin, the coverage lasts all day, and the finish is dewy and healthy looking, especially for a full-coverage foundation. After so many different brands, this is my go-to."

Customer review: "I absolutely love this cream. I use it as a foundation. I use my fingertips for blending. It goes on smoothly, and [there are] no streaks. I also use a light powder over it and [am] ready to go. Stays all day without any smearing."

Pro: Illuminating with a skin-like finish

Con: Not long-wearing and oxidizes over time
