Any questions?
Let our experts answer them
How is BB cream different from a tinted moisturiser?
Tinted moisturisers focus mainly on hydration with a touch of colour, while BB creams tend to offer slightly more coverage and additional skincare benefits like blurring ingredients and antioxidants.
What is the difference between BB cream and CC cream?
CC creams are more targeted toward evening skin tone and minimising concerns like redness or hyperpigmentation, while BB creams are an all-in-one choice for hydration, glow and a more even complexion.
Can I use BB cream every day?
Yes, BB cream is designed to fit easily into almost any routine and can be used daily as a final skincare step, a light foundation alternative, or even as a smoothing base under make-up.
What skin types are BB creams suitable for?
One of the advantages of BB cream is how well it adapts to different skin types. Whether your skin is oily, dry, sensitive or combination, there’s likely a formula that fits.
BB creams are suitable for all skin types, with lightweight matte formulas available for oily or combination skin and more nourishing, dewy options for dry or sensitive skin.
Those with sensitive skin should look for gentle, fragrance-free formulas, ideally dermatologically tested. All Clarins BB creams are developed with tolerance in mind, making them a reliable choice for everyday use.

Is tinted moisturiser better than foundation for everyday wear?
Tinted moisturiser is often preferred for everyday wear if you want lightweight hydration and sheer, natural-looking coverage. Foundation may be a better option if you want more buildable or higher coverage for uneven skin tone or blemishes.
Should I apply a serum before tinted moisturiser?
Yes. Apply your serum after cleansing and before your tinted moisturiser. Use Double Serum for anti-ageing actions or Multi-Active Glow Serum for a glass skin effect. A simple routine is: cleanser, toner if desired, serum, day cream if needed, then tinted moisturiser.
