Lancôme City Miracle CC Cream

City Miracle CC cream is a color correction cream for perfect complexion that contains SPF 50/PA+++.

The need for the creation of this product lies in the rapid pace of urban life, which inevitably affects our complexion. It loses its natural glow and freshness. Pollutants that come into contact with skin, mix with sebum and then, influenced by everyday exposure to UV rays, produce toxins and free radicals. Damage is not only visible on the face (redness, lack of natural glow, premature aging), but complete skin becomes dehydrated, it loses its elasticity and shows signs of fatigue.

As a solution for women around the world, Lancôme presents an innovative hybrid product: City Miracle CC Cream Complexion Beautifier Daily Defense SPF50/PA+++, a rich formula that delivers a combination of optimum performance of make-up and skin care in order to achieve a perfect complexion and lasting benefits for the skin.

The cream comes in three shades:

01 – Beige dragée: it gives to a light complexion a healthy glow and a touch of pink to the cheeks
02 – Peau de pêche: medium shade for a natural glow of the skin
03 – Beige aurore: it refines dark skin with sunny, subtle golden tones

I tried medium shade that is quite dark. My skin is currently darker than usual, so it suits me well.

The texture of the cream is a liquid, but has some gel-like properties that smooth the skin a bit. It acts like a tinted moisturizer, which means that it tones the complexion, but does not cover the imperfections. Actually, whit smoothing and toning properties it does provide a very subtle coverage.

It gives the skin a healthy look, eliminating signs of fatigue. Most importantly, while protecting it from harmful solar radiation with high SPF, prevents its photo aging. The cream feels great on the skin, it is lightweight, has a beautiful scent, blends perfectly into the skin providing a natural look.

I like this CC cream a lot, because I love products that give a natural look as this one does. Tones the skin and provides a radiant look with high protection, so it is an ideal choice for summer. It has wonderful texture, like sophisticated tinted moisturizer. Lancôme succeeded with this one – they created a product that nourishes and beautifies the skin at the same time.
