*This first time when I use CC cream. I am 40+ years and I use it under BB cream. I dont have what to compare with, but I like a lot the effect on my skin. It becomes Bright, naturaly glowing, healthy skin. Can be used only as well as CC covering, itself, without anything. Effect it is exacly like in the pictures in the description. And absolutelly easy to apply. Somebody have writen in the review that it is difficult to apply. On the contrary I think it very easy to apply. Maybe because I respect the skin care steps (cleaning, toner, essence and cream) and the skin is already prepared (smooth) before appliyng the CC . And as a result it spreads very easy and uniform.
