IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Illumination SPF 50+
by IT Cosmetics · skin_care
Editor's Take
Few CC creams work this hard: polished coverage, SPF 50+ and luminous blur, but the silicone-heavy base leaves its environmental credentials in the stockroom.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 8.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 5.8 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 0.1 / 10
The Verdict
On skin, the mineral SPF 50+, strong coverage and optical blurring make a convincing one-step complexion product. The water-in-oil base handles pigments and UV filters neatly, while snail filtrate, Haloxyl™ peptides and humectants add more skincare substance than most CC creams. Multiple citrus oils and disclosed fragrance allergens may be unwelcome on reactive skin, though they sit well below the silicone-led base. Performance is the reason to choose it; its persistent silicone load makes sustainability the unmistakable sacrifice.
