"It’s very your-skin-but-better and... sort of blurs everything while cutting down on red undertones,” said one HuffPoster.

Green pigments that automatically color correct leave you with a glowing, even skin tone. It’s formulated with centella asiatica, also known as tiger grass, which is known to be soothing and calming — it’s often used in traditional Korean medicine. Glycerin helps to hydrate and strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier, so even though you’re getting a hefty dose of active ingredients, your skin stays soft and supple. The green pigments melt into the skin and the cream seemingly transforms into a tinted SPF that leaves a foundation-like finish.

She added that her boyfriend, “who literally can’t tell the difference between wavy and straight hair,” told her, “your makeup looks really nice today,” both times O’Connor used it. She also noted that it’s the perfect beach vacation makeup, making it a must in our travel bags.

Ledbetter noted that the CC cream has a light powdery smell that you’d typically find in a mineral SPF, and after she brought her tube to the HuffPost office for a sniff test and I concur with her assessment. It isn’t bothersome, especially if you’re used to using zinc-based sunscreen. The finish is lighter than I expected from such a transformative product, so even those with dry skin or who are acne-prone can enjoy it. It is also worth noting that this product is best suited for those with lighter skin tones who are prone to redness. Those with more melanated skin may find that it leaves a white cast.

“I have tried several red correcting bases, and this one is by far the best. Provides coverage, sunscreen, and magically matches my light skin tones. Not too heavy, doesn’t settle into pores or lines.” —erikanls

“I rarely review anything online but this product has been so amazing that I have to say something! I have very fair skin and darker hair. Every CC cream or “color matching” product pulls orange on me EXCEPT THIS!! It provides light but effective coverage. I don’t feel like I have anything on my skin. It made for the perfect “foundation” while I was on vaca in St Thomas where it was 90 degrees and humid even at night! It blends easily. Give it a minute to dry down to see the full effect. My skin feels softer and looks healthier the next day. At first I was disappointed with the price tag and the small 0.5 ounce tube. I thought it was a rip off. It lasted me a long time.” —LK

“I have such bad rosacea, and this is absolutely the best product I’ve ever used to cover the redness. Not oily, matte finish, very easy to apply. Goes on great as a base layer under makeup and also has an SPF as a bonus! It was recommended by my dermatologist, and I am blown away by how effective it is!” —2caratmomma

“The original CC cream and the absolute best for people with rosacea. Products for rosacea like the Dr. Jart similar product have fragrances that irritate sensitive skin. This one protects and moisturizes the skin while hiding the red blotches. It is very easy because it matches many shades of lighter skin. Will rebuy this until I die” —Laura Morales

“This works well to neutralize my rosacea! It’s not too heavy but it makes it a lot easier to cover my very red cheeks. For every day use I use a lighter amount and layer with my tinted moisturizer. It also works well with a little heavier hand when I’m doing a full face.” —Janee M.

“After first application, I could not see my Rosacea, the red was gone, super simple. My skin looks and feels good. It’s light and not greasy. I was skeptical when my wife ordered it but I can’t believe the results. I’m not going to stress pictures ever again. Win!” —Lori Sanders
