Sun protectionSPF 30 · 2 UV filters · Broad spectrumWeak protectionLow zinc dose
This product uses a single UV filter (zinc oxide) in a relatively low concentration and might not be able to provide a reliable sun protection.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.

“CCC Clean Corrective with Vitamin C Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, polyglycerin-3.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cetyl dimethicone, helianthus annuus extract.

This is my first ever CC cream and I love it.
I was a powder girly for years. I usually prefer a matt finish. But this product completely changed my mind. My skin looks SO GOOD and CLEAR and PRETTY. The color match is crazy good. The texture feels amazing. It performs well with makeup on top of it. I do find it's easier and looks more airbrushed if you use a beauty sponge.
New daily makeup HG product.
