I am not much of a make up user on an ordinary day when I do not have anything to attend. I do not really like the way it feels on my skin after a few hours of oil production. Nor do I want to lose precious hours of sleep in the morning putting on my face, when nobody important is going to see it and makeup products cost the earth these days. My daily routine for work or home usually consists of cleansing, toning and moisturising, with maybe a slick of lipgloss and mascara at most. Sometimes if my skin is in really bad condition then the lipgloss and mosituriser will be tinted to mask some of my imperfections and brighten my pale look. Full on makeup, on every part of my face is reserved for special occasions because my laptop, which I spend facing most of the time, quite frankly could hardly be bothered by the way that I look.
I was sent the Avon CC Cream by Beauty Bulletin and was curious to see how it could be incorporated into my daily routine. Having read the packaging, which was white writing on a black, classy screw top tube, I realised it could be substituted as my daytime moisturiser step as it had multiple benefits. These included colour correcting properties to hide my dark spots and gradually even my skin tone, SPF50 to block most of the harmful sun rays and prevent new pigmentation issues and moisturising benefits.
The colour I chose, which was Shell, blended in very well with my natural skin colour and it even made my skin glow with a newfound dewy radiance. It did a great job of concealing my underlying acne issues and did not result in any significant breakouts. On really bad skin days, I used two coats to boost the moisture in my skin and it gave me the same result as foundation would, without the caked on feeling and look.
I have been using it for almost a month during the day and although I have not seen any visible difference in my natural skins condition, it does look far more polished with the CC cream on. It is something I would recommend to those who do not like foundation but want smoother skin. And of course are lazy to spend hours and money on achieving clearer looking skin.
Avon has a wide selection of wonderful products at prices which do not break the bank. Being a big fan of Avon and BB creams, I was excited to try out the CC cream as its primary aim was to rectify color issues, which has been my foremost skin concern for ages. Unfortunately, my product arrived late in the mail (postage service woes) and I, therefore, had a limited time to assess its impact on my skin. That being said, even after a short period of 1.5 weeks, I was pleasantly surprised by the result.
The packaging was pretty standard (which didn’t bother me much as I am a sound believer that the proof of the pudding is in the eating ;)). The cream however had a fresh, zesty smell which I absolutely loved. Its texture was smooth and its application light on the skin. Winter made its presence felt in Durban this year so I chose to apply the cream over my regular moisturizer, to avoid my skin drying out. The cream felt lovely on my skin and revealed a beautiful glow which lasted long into my working day. It effectively evened out my complexion as promised, giving me a confidence I rarely have in my skin, unless of course I’ve done my entire makeup routine, primer, foundation, concealer etc. Others noticed and were impressed so I used the opportunity to do some freelance Marketing for Avon. SPF 50 (WOW) - who can complain about that? I'm yet to use a quality makeup product which is able to deliver on all its promises yet still protect and care for your skin - definitely a rave worthy feature of this CC cream.
I haven’t yet noticed much impact of the cream on my reducing blemishes; but will continue to use it as I trust it will have the results Avon claims it will. Thus far, I’ve been rather impressed by the quality of this product and its ability to deliver on its promise of color correction. Personally, I no longer belong to team BB cream, I am now CC creams biggest fan. Definitely worth a try!!
SEE SEE Cream, I SEE me for ME A radiant glow, illuminating who I'm meant to be be! SABLE my shade, I have tested for a week I am happy to share that my skin is at its peak Easy to apply, no fuss, no oil, no lines, no streaks With a pleasant aroma, not like some of those who reek It's light, and the only thing I now use I was asked to test this, but it's one I will now proudly choose.
The primary purpose of the CC cream is to address dark pigmentation and other flaws such as acne as well as dark spots. AND as an added bonus it has this really cool technology that allows it to smooth out wrinkles and lines by using light particles in the cream that reflects light.
I used the Soft Honey CC cream for two weeks, applying it every morning. I did not expect to see much of a difference and read the product reviews and descriptions with a grain of salt, but I was proven wrong. First thing I liked about the product was the ease of use, I am a very au natural girl, meaning I don't wear foundations, BB creams and concealers so using a concealer was very new to me. What I loved was that I didn't need any brushes or special products to apply, all I needed was my fingers. Similar products usually feels caked on and heavy, however this cream felt so light, and I barely noticed that I was wearing a concealer. Immediately after application it made my skin feel smooth, dewy and very healthy. It was living up to its purpose so I was keen to see whether it would fade of the dark spots on my face. I have horrible dark pigmentation on my cheekbones, and after two weeks of use, they have definitely lightened up, so not only are they fading, the CC cream is hiding these flaws. My skin looks so much better after just two weeks of use, that even my husband has noticed and commented on how beautiful my skin is looking. I have no negative reviews about this product and I definitely recommend this product to every and anyone. Its very affordable as well, and will not break the bank.
I am sticking to this product, and Avon has gained a loyal fan!
Thank you Avon and BB for opening my eyes to a whole new world in flawless skin.
I love Avon's Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream.It makes my skin look flawless, it's light and blends easily.
I think the colour chart wasn't very accurate and must admit the colour I chose was just a tad bit too light for my skin colour. However my skin was noticeably evened out upon application. WOW instant flawlessness. My pigmentation were invisible! I'm waiting to see if my pigmentation will fade as the product claims. I suppose it will take a while though.
Avon CC Cream is so light and weightless I don't feel it on my skin at all. Love it! Its also not sticky. The product stays put for hours and my skin still looks fresh at the end of the working day.
I love the fact that it has SPF 50. Now I can look great and be protected by the sun's harmful rays and it fights free radicals.
Well done Avon for yet another awesome product!
A great CC Cream! I do recommend the ladies out there to give it a go
I normally order my CC cream from America..but am so grateful to have tried out the Avon CC cream. I have quite oily skin but this CC cream provided excellent cover and I haven't needed to "wipe" my face by midday to get rid of extra oil. I also have blemished skin from previous acne and it was a great cover without needed to put other make up on top. Plus..it smells really great and is really cost effective
I was super excited to be selected for this review club as I had been meaning to test this and this was the perfect opportunity. Brief description of skin issues: I have combination skin with freckles on cheeks but some red blemishing around chin area and neck from hormonal acne. Sometimes my eyes can be a bit dark under the eye and above the lids. The CC cream worked wonders blending into my skin to evenly tone colour and leave a smooth finish (perfect for my Mozambique holiday photos)The only problem was it didn't manage to cover the red blemishes. I did however manage to (after seeing the pics) cover the blemishes combining a drop of my Avon foundation with the correction cream which seemed to do the trick. Well Done Avon- super impressed with you guys keeping up with expensive make-Up house' trendy products :)
Absolutely AMAZING product, I love how it blends in perfectly with my skin. Amazing and GREAT. I NEVER KNEW AVON PRODUCTS WERE THIS AMAZING. :)THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS WONDERFUL CREAM, Thank you BB and AVON :) I AM TRULY IMPRESSED...
When I got the mail to state I will be receiving the new CC cream from Avon, I was a bit sceptical at first as I like the BB Creams that are out there and wasn't too sure that this was going to be better than that, boy, was I wrong.
The CC Cream is not only a foundation for me to use when I want to have a more natural and "free" look, but it also makes my skin feel and look great. I have had a problem with some foundations making my pores look bigger than what they are and some even used to go into my pores which made my skin look dirty and ugly.
With the new CC Cream, it goes on like a moisturiser and it looks great for a long length of time. I absolutely love it. It is also great because it provides me with an SPF 50 which is especially good for me when I am out with my two girls playing in the harsh winter sun.
Another thing I truly love about this product is that it contains licorice and Vitamin C, which has been proven to lighten & even the skin. This we need at my age as getting older is not a joke and I would love to keep on wearing my age well. I feel that the more I end up using it the better my skin will look and that is great.
I have already recommended this to my mom and mom-in-law who only use Avon and they are buying there CC cream as soon as possible.
I have also tried it with using a little under or over my regular foundation and it gives it that smooth even look, just like on it's own. This product is truly amazing and I will definately keep on buying it to keep in my make-up collection.
Thanks again to Avon for brining us, yet again, another wonderful product to help keep us looking great and feeling younger.

So I received my Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream and I have to say I was totally BLOWN AWAY.
I suffer from enlarged pores on my nose, as well as dark rings under my eyes and of course with age we all end up getting those blasted age spots, well luckily I am in the beginning stages of the latter hehehehe so I only have one spot, but still a pain in the "cheek" all the same lol.
I have been using my CC Cream on its own, yip no powder, foundation, etc. etc. being used with it at all, and I must say I am very impressed.
First thing I noticed, YAY NO MORE ENLARGED PORES, they seemed to disappear right before my eyes. I was TOTALLY astonished and astounded, yes can you believe both at the same time, so I guess you can say I was astonishounded.
Secondly it helped to diminish the blackness below my eye, it didn't take it totally away, probably because I had nothing else over the CC Cream and perhaps had I used concealer, now that I think about it, it probably would have taken the black bags away and magically made me look normal again hehehehe.
Thirdly, my age spot also seemed to fade away, not totally like I would have totally loved hehehe, but it minimised it to such an extent that it was not soooo "in your face" excuse the pun lol.
And of course just to finish off, it lasts all day long and you don't even realise you are wearing your CC Cream because it is so light on your skin, and makes your skin feel softer too, well it did that to my skin, which I was enjoying to the MAX, one thing I cannot stand is make-up that makes you feel like you took a bag of wet cement and slathered it all over your face. With that in mind, I must also point out that during the day one tends to rub your face or some part of your face and when I remembered I had my cream on and tended to go "oh no going to have make-up on my fingers" with a look of utter disgust on my face, I just have to point out that at no time when I touched my face did I have any of my CC Cream on my fingers, it was such a lovely change that from now on all I will wear is my CC Cream, with a touch of bronzer and of course my lip gloss and a hint of eye shadow.
Ladies, This is one CC Cream you have got to try for yourself to see what I am talking about. I have , in fact, recommended to all my friends to get the Avon CC Cream to try for themselves and not to take my word for it.
So go and get yourself some CC Cream and let me know what your thoughts are on this product.
Avon Flawless Colour Corrector Cream is just that. When applied it glides onto your skin giving you an even tone almost immediately. My skin looked flawless and glowed the whole day. I would go as far as to say this is one of the best products I have tried that literally is a flawless corrector cream. Simply love it.
I tried the CC cream by Avon and it works for me, the color blended with my complexion , it has that natural finish and does not make my skin shinny, it gives that natural glow and that makes me feel confident, i normally wouldn't use any of these products the reason being I couldn't get the correct color to match my skin tone.I'm really pleased that I tried & tested this product and would definitely add it to my makeup kit.
I was very excited to be chosen for this review, however I will be honest in my experience.
Firstly, the product was sent to a different post office, so I had to wait a bit longer to get it.
Secondly, the colour I chose was much too light for my skin (shell) and I find it very hard to choose a colour based on a colour representation.
Thirdly, after trying it on, despite the too light shade, but to taste the product quality I was left with pimples on my cheeks. the product itself is not too runny and applies smoothly but unfortunately was not for me. I did not continue using it for the proposed amount of time as I feel I should write an honest review. I will give it to someone else with a less sensitive skin than me and will perhaps write a review on their behalf.
I have tried the Avon CC cream and I loved it it blended perfectly with my skin tone and its light on my skin. I didn't feel that I was wearing make up my problem was it made my skin fill dry I am not sure if its because its winter or its originaly like this. I have kept my sample to try it again during summer. Thank you BB team for the chance to try this product. I still prefer my BB creams but this was an experience for me
According to mom.me BB creams, which stands for beauty or blemish balm, was originally meant to be an all-in-one product. So instead of spending five minutes applying your serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock, you could just apply BB cream and be set. CC cream stands for color or complexion correcting—is similar to BB cream, but amped up a bit more on skin care. They're a little heavier on anti-aging, helping with uneven skin tone, age spots, wrinkles and other simple skin issues. Like the BB cream, CC cream contains moisturizer, sunscreen and has the same amount of tint with the usual choices in fair-light, light-medium and medium-deep. Often the SPF on CC creams will be higher than in BB creams in an effort to help prevent additional skin problems caused by the sun.
So I tried Avons' CC Cream after using a BB Cream for a while. I must say the texture of the Avon CC Cream felt a little more oilier compaired with the BB Cream. The application was fine, yet the coverage a little less desirable. Teh shade was a little less subtle than the BB cream, however this is subjective to my skin tone and the brand I used for the BB Cream as well. Saying this, I did feel that the CC Cream held my makeup better than the BB Cream - because of its oilier texture.
p.s. Top Tip: I suggest applying a light / loose powder to counter act the oilyness of the CC Cream, and you will have a more even or polished finish. You may also add a pressed powder for more coverage to uneven toned areas. That's a wrap!
I must admit that I am very weary of trying any new products for my skin as I have very oily skin. I have tried bbcreams before with no success, so decided to give this a shot. What I can say is, I loved the fact that it absorbs almost instantly and looks quite natural,and does not settle into fine lines. Also I love the SPF protection. It gives basic coverage, so if you have blemishes or hectic acne scars ect, this product will not be for you. Now unfortunately, because of my oily skin condition, after 2 hours my face became very oily. So this product is not for me.This product will really suit someone with perfect skin already or for someone who is looking for a more natural look.
I received the cream in the mail on a Friday afternoon. This was my first product review so I was eager to try it out. The first day I used the Avon CC Cream, I did not even need to put on Foundation because the cream evened the tone of my face. After 5 days, I noticed that my face was beginning to look brighter. The dark shadows under my eyes had definitely lightened and the 50 UV protection had definitely helped to keep sunburn away. I was so impressed by the cream, that I had to tell my aunt about it as well. She has started to get dark pigmentation on her upper cheekbone, just under eyes. The doctor said that this was attributed to age. She has been using the cream for a week now and she has already seen a difference, a lightening of the dark areas. I would definitely recommend this cream to anyone. Even if you do not have any severe blemishes, it helps to even out your tone. You don't need a painfully uncomfortable Cat Woman costume to get the attention you deserve ;)
Finally received my CC Cream from Avon, thanks once again BB team. It didn't work too well for me because of the wrong colour although it disappears upon application and leaves skin feeling silky. the CC cream had a lot of colours and I choose the wrong one unfortunately. I will order another one with the right colour because I love it and prefer it more than using foundation. It is a good product especially the consideration of catering to african tones that's a superb idea. A winner all in all, can't wait to get my right colour and have fun with the product CC the future for African Skin.
Thank you Beauty Bulletin for my Avon CC cream to test! I am not someone who applies full make-up daily, but also like to look well kept. Thus I was super excited about the new product I received to test. After 2 weeks of regular use,I can recommend this to anyone who wants coverage, without the " plastered on " look. The cream blended in nicely, and left my skin looking even and dewy. Gone were the red marks and blemishes, but without the tell tale line of a full foundation. I was free to add as much or as little make-up as I wished to. An added bonus of course, is the SPF 50,perfect for my lily white, sun sensitive skin! Colleagues have complimented me on my radiant complexion, and I am sure I'll share my secret one day. ..
I was thrilled to be selected as part of this review club because I have long been battling dark marks from my pregnancies, as well as uneven skin-tone and redness. Beauty Bulletin sent me the Shell shade which, as it turns out, is absolutely perfect for my skin tone. Well done BB as I think I said in my survey that I thought Ivory would be the right colour. Spot on girls, you really do know your stuff!! Ivory would have been too pale. Let me start by saying I swear by Avon Magix Skin Perfector, it's a great product to wear if you don't feel like plakking the make-up on and want to go bare-faced. Well, their CC cream knocks spots off the skin perfector. For me, its like a primer with a tint. I can wear it without base if I am feeling brave and am having a clear skin day, or it works perfectly under a foundation to create an even smoother and more even toned face than ever before. I like that it is light and so you feel like your face is bare, but yet it easily evens out your skin. And it has an SPF 50! Awesome! Yes, I still need a little concealer on some troublesome spots, but its definitely a more natural look. My hubby asked me why my skin was glowing the other morning. I said "huh? Is it shiny???" and he said "No, it just looks glowy!" High praise from a man who HATES make-up!!! As usual the Avon packaging is simple, practical, but still manages to look cute. I love the silver CC emblazoned on the tube. A little will go a long way, so this 30ml tube should last a while, even if you need two coats to build up your desired coverage. LOVE LOVE LOVE and highly recommend!
I am not a fan of fondation, because everytime I wear it, I feel my pores being blocked and I'm afraid that I might look over done and not natural. I therefore always just use a cover stick and a powder. Until the Avon CC cream landed on my doorstep. It moisturises your skin just like a day moisturiser, while it covers all your blemishes. But what I really love about the avon cc cream is that it soaks into your skin, becoming a part of your skin and face and giving you a natural glowing, blemish free skin. This is truly a wonderful product that enhances one's natural beauty, because isn't that what make-up is suppose to do? Thank you Avon!
This product beats BB creams by far. I was satisfied on second time of application. It moisturizes and makes the face glow. There was no need for applying the loose powder and blush i just felt like i have done all the make up regime.
It is wonder bottle with all the skin treatment benefits. After two weeks i do not feel clogged pores or itchy skin after hours.
I HAVE BEEN USING THE AVON IDEAL FLAWLESS CC CREAM ALMOST DAILY FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AND AM REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PRODUCT PARTICULARLY AS IT HAS UVA/UVB SFP50 PROTECTION.
THE PRODUCT HAS A LIGHT TEXTURE WHICH GOES ON SMOOTHLY AND EVENLY AND ITS NOT NECESSARY TO USE A LOT OF PRODUCT TO GET AN EVEN TONE.
I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE AS IT TICKS ALL MY BOXES.
Upon receiving the CC cream from beauty bulletin, I ditched my BB cream and started with the CC cream the very next day. I loved the BB cream but always had to use a moisturiser to cover up the dry patches which I so often get. With the CC cream i don't need to use an extra moisturiser and it feels so light and natural and definately has more coverage than the BB cream (Covered all my blemishes and red spots instantly). My main concern however, was the colour, I chose soft honey but as a frequent customer of Avon I've learnt never to order lipstick from them as the colours are never the same as the book its always lighter, I therefore, would never dare order any foundation from them. However, even though the soft honey looked light it blended really well with my skin and I am Indian, my white friend also tried some and it blended well with her skin as well. The Avon CC cream is definately a must to try and I will be ordering another bottle straight away and while the price is so reasonable. An added bonus is the SPF 50 which I have not seen in any other brand of CC Cream. Will be throwing out the BB cream and sticking to this. Just hope Avon doesn't discontinue this product as they do with most.
Avon CC Cream takes you one step closer to a flawless skin!

I've previously used a BB Cream and I've loved it. So when I read about the CC Cream, I was very curiously as I had no idea what the thus was about.
First thing I've noticed when I received the Avon ideal flawless CC cream, is that it had a SPF50 factor. Wow, what a bonus - now I can replace my sunscreen with this. I do a lot of traveling by airplane and have to plan my packing carefully, so now I can replace my sunscreen and moisturizer with this. I will also safe me some money.
Avon is known for their high quality and user friendly products and they have also delivered with this product. This cream doesn't settle into pores and wrinkles, but conceal them. After applying this cream, my skin feels nourished and soft.
When choosing the right colour shade, l think I should have chosen a darker shade to get the best results, but at the time, I thought a lighter shade would be a better choice. So, when deciding to buy this product, make sure you choose the right colour.
With this product, you only have to use a small amount, so it is very cost-effective and because you have three creams in one(sunscreen, moisturizer and foundation colour),it saves a lot of time as well.
So, when you decide to try something new, the Avon CC Cream must be your first choice, because your skin will love it and after all - you're worth it!!!
After using the product for 2 weeks I have seen positive results. Avon cc cream is a really wonderful cream and easy to use. Applying it twice a day morning and evening. Not only is the cream light on your skin it also smells great. I would definetly recommend the product to women out there who is looking for great results in a short time.While wearing the cream it is hardly noticable and feels really light compared to other facial creams out there. This is a must product for all women out there.
Claims: Avon Ideal Flawless CC Colour Corrector Cream is a new CC Cream. Instantly evens tone plus improves skin over time, has a targeted formula with licorice, vitamin C (for healing skin) and colour correcting pigments and pearls that improve the look of dullness, dark spots and uneven skin tone. Says it will begin to fade the appearance of dark spots in just 2 weeks. Avon Ideal Flawless CC Colour Corrector Cream is available in 9 shades. It also has SPF 50 protection. The claims of this product are that it will add colour, protect and perfect your skin.
My opinion: The scent is the typical citrusy Avon scent but it not noticeable to me once applied to my face. The consistency is thin but not runny and not thick like a normal cream. Has a whopping SPF 50 which helps to prevent any further pigmentation. Not water resistant. Coverage is quite sheer and I still saw a bit of redness seeping through but because of its closer to pink tone base this is great for hiding dark circles and pigmentation definitely evens out skin tone and brighten due to its slightly shimmery formula. One of the first things I noticed about Avon's CC Cream when I swatched it on my hand was the powdery texture it had to it's finish, made the skin on my had just look dry. I also noticed that it settled in to the lines on the back of my hand. The bad part was the way it made my hand look dry and powdery was the same result I got on my face and any little dry patches that I had were greatly accentuated. I would recommend this for only oily skinned girls which this product is perfect for but if you have dry skin or even normal or combination I would avoid it. Sets and blends pretty easily because it has silicone in it like a primer. The product feels light on the face and I barely notice I have it on, it has a matte finish and dries down quickly. It has powdery dry looking finish so no need to set it with a powder spots on my face but like I said if you are oily skinned this would work great. Currently retailing at R84.95. Thanks BB for sending me this product.
Firstly thank you to the wonderful people at Beauty Bulletin for selecting me to be a part of this panel of testers.
PRODUCT INFO - Begins to fade the appearance of dark spots in just two weeks! - Instantly evens tone, plus improves skin over time. - Powerful sun protection with Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50+. - Buildable light to medium coverage - Targeted formula with licorice, Vitamin C, and color correcting pigments and pearls that improve the look of dullness, dark spots, and uneven skin ton. - 30ml
I received my Avon Ideal Flawless CC Cream a few days after I saw everyone else received theirs, silly postal system, but thankfully it arrived and I must say that I was very, very impressed.
What first impressed me was the fact that this CC Cream has a SPF 50 in it, as someone who protects her skin religiously this made me excited that Avon would think of the protection of their consumers skin, we are all within reach of UVA and UVB rays even while just sitting at our desks working on our computers, so this made me see they take our skins health seriously. The added licorice and Vitamin C in the formula is also a sign that Avon cares about the health of our skin.
I'm also very impressed with the packaging, the tube is great and easily recognizable in my make up kit, the screen printing looks elegant and expensive, my only problem here is that I wish that it was a little bigger and contained more product, I simply can't get enough of this CC Cream!
The product does have a slight sunscream/ chemically scent to it but this neither affects it and has not lingered on my skin whilst I have been using the product. But beware don't get this product in your eye as you will be left with a weepy eye! This cream offers a light to medium coverage that is buildable, it left my skin feeling primed, even and soft, it melts into the skin easily leaving a slight illuminescence and a dewy glow although it's finish is more matte than glossy. I also find an additional benefit it seems to mask the appearance of large pores! A blessing in disguise to those who suffer rom enlarged pores. I need to point out again how soft and smooth my skin felt after using this, it honestly felt like smooth, soft and supple and full of vibrancy, it is a great product and I'm sure after the effects that I've noticed that it does live up to its advertised promise of fading spots, refining lines and even-ing skin tone with constant use - of course.
I do find this is not 100% colour correcting in the sense that It does not contain any of the contrasting coloring that normal color corrector a do I.e. Green/ purple or yellow pigments which aid to cover red pigmentation, dark circles and lack luster skin, it is however very hydrating on your skin and does leave the glow and dewy look which a lot of color correctors leave behind. Perhaps they are instead referring to the fact that it evens out your skin tone and repairs dark blemishes instead of the more 'traditional' color correcting applications.
I did have one slight problem, as we had to choose our colors from an image this nude shade is slightly too light for my skin, I have therefore been using it as you are meant to use a CC cream, under my foundation, this creates a great surface that is even and smooth and assists with the covering of dark patches and blemishes and acts like a primer does. It also makes your make up last longer throughout the day with less creasing and wear. It is great not matter if you use this product by itself or with other make up.
Thank you again to Beauty Bulletin for sending me this product to try out!
I am a huge fan of all avon products they deliver spectacular results and they never fail to amaze. This is the first time im using a cc cream so I was super excited to be chosen to do this review. The cc cream has an amazing scent its almost like a perfume on your face. The coverage is totally amazing it hides all the spots dots and any pigmentation you have and leaves your face flawless. I had the soft honey cc cream and It was the perfect match for my skin tone. I will definitely recommend this product to Everyone, the only problem I had with this product IS THAT IT IS TOO EXSPENSIVE FOR ONLY 30ML further than that I was totally happy with the product itself.
All skin's are different and there for different results will reach at the end of the day. One of those different once is mine. Maybe it's because of the amount of damage done to my skin over the years, but i have been using Avon CC Cream and i have not seen any change on my dark spots. There for i won't give up hope, i will continue using my tube of CC Cream till the last drop and see if there will be a difference. This to me personally is not a quick fix product, maybe a fix over a longer period of time
I am crazy about the Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to be so blown away by this product as I have previously used a BB cream and I wasn't too happy with the result.
The first thing that I noticed (and loved) about the cream was the way it 'disappeared' into my skin. Lots of products usually leave like an overly powdered look on my face that I have to wait to fade before I leave the house. This settled in perfectly and suited my skin colour.
The second thing that I loved was that its SPF 50! Using an SPF 50 sunscreen together with my moisturiser and foundation just made my skin feel clogged and heavy. But this cream provided the coverage and it has a super light-weight texture. It wasn't heavy on my face at all.
Third, and most important, I definitely saw a difference in my face. My face looked brighter and slight discolourations on my face have become lighter. I was quite surprised as I have only been using the cream for exactly two weeks. Others have also complimented me about the difference in my skin. However, I also used it with my regular moisturiser as a I have very dry skin in winter.
I am mad about this cream now, definitely a fan. Its the benefits of foundation, sunblock and blemish cream....so I'm definitely saving a few bucks. What more could a girl ask for?
Before testing out the new Avon CC cream, I wasn't really sure what it was meant to do.. I just knew that so many people were raving about this wonderful new product out on the market.. That product was Avon's CC cream. CC stands for colour correcting and it deals with the many issues that most of us struggle with on a daily basis. I have always had dark bags under my eyes, this has gotten worse with lack of sleep caused by two very active little kids and I can never seem to reduce the appearance of them..as well as having a quite noticeable red pigmentation in my face. I am fair skinned so any mark or flaw tends to stand out!! The colour that I received to test was Avon CC in Ivory (64462) and I couldn't wait to get started. You are supposed to notice a difference in your skin in just two weeks!! I was very excited at the prospect of using this lightweight cream that is said to contain a multi-tasking formula which conceals and corrects.. It sounds absolutely amazing!! The packaging of the product is once again eye catching and although quite simple, it has an element of class and sophistication. It looks like a luxury item and I love the way the CC written in silver catches the light and shimmers. The writing is easy to read and the fact that it is SPF 50 is clearly highlighted. I think that this is an added bonus when using this product. not only are you correcting flaws, but you are protecting your skin from any future damage caused by the sun. So important to protect your skin and its definitely a huge benefit of this product! The cap on the tube is easy to unscrew and open.. So many products aren't user friendly, but this is effortless... I love the range of colours that this product comes in.. With such a wide range, you are able to find and match a cream perfectly to your skin tone. The Ivory matched so well with mine and is definitely the perfect fit. I am really impressed with this CC cream. Only a small amount placed on your palm and it goes so far! This might only be a 30ml tube, but because you only using a small amount each time, it will definitely last and well worth the money! Avon have a special trial price at the moment.. The normal selling price is R159.95 but if you are wanting to trial it, the trial price is only R84.95. Now that is a saving of over 45% What a bargain!! After using this product continuously for two weeks, my thoughts on it is that I love it!! its truly brilliant! The cream is so easy to apply and my face looks brighter and clearer... more illuminated. I loved that the colour is even and there are no patches, it blends well and it was as if I wasn't wearing any makeup. The cream is so light and my face didn't feel weighed down with cream and didn't feel oily at all! The results are really unbelievable! My bags, whilst they were not completely gone, there was definitely a huge difference. I look less tired and more fresh faced. No more patchiness and the redness has also improved! My skin looks so much more youthful and over all in a better condition. I'm really impressed! The CC cream has replaced my foundation.. it feels a lot better on my skin and ill definitely be continuing to use it. Using it everyday for two weeks and I still have so much left in the tube!! Love this product and will definitely be telling me friends and family about it!! This product has worked for me! Thank you Beauty Bulletin and Avon for this wonderful opportunity!
i received my Avon CC cream last week. Wow i love it and my skin is soft and smooth, since last week im not puting foundation.I have recommended to my friends
I started using my Avon CC Cream about two weeks ago. What an amazing product!
I absolutely love the fact that it is lightweight, so it covers your skin but it looks natural ... so no - one really knows you wearing a CC Cream. I have to say, out of all the BB and CC creams I've tried, my skin would become oily in the T - Panel. This is the first CC cream that keeps my skin balanced the entire day. It covers all the spots and uneven skin tone giving you a beautiful radiance. The best part, it protects your skin against the harmful rays of the sun. I always use a sun cream over my moisturizer, but with the Avon CC Cream I don't need to! Which is great news.
Its an excellent all - in - one product. Protects your skin from the sun, gives your skin moisture and cover the flaws, naturally. So it saves you time as well.

Ever since I started using my AvonIdealFlawlessCC I'm the queen of selfies every morning after make up it's me and my phone and I'm not shying away from up close, thanks all to BB for giving me the opportunity to be part of all the beautiful ladies reviewing the AvonCC my colour is caramel. I just love how everything blends in perfectly on my face. I have dark spots on my face and one thing is I love having a foundation on my face especially for those special occasions but I don't like feeling my foundation on my skin and some parts of my face I will have to go thicker because of the darkspots and then my face will look cracky like a drying mud statue. Not anymore the AvonCC is light and weightless you don't feel it on your skin and you can add as much as you want until you get you perfect shade. I'm looking forward to more selfies and eventually making a video review.
This product is the first CC cream that I have tried. I have used some well known Balms before without much satisfaction as they were too oily for me. I believe that a CC cream is a good choice for me as I have to deal with hyper pigmentation and redness. The product is packaged nice and simple and is great for dispensing just the right amount. It is slightly sticky to the touch and has to be blended well into the skin for an even finish. The medium beige colour is almost a good match for my skin tone except on the pigmented areas. I have been using the cream for ten days now. It provides a sheer light coverage but it is buildable after letting it dry for a few minutes. I prefer a medium coverage so I used it under my foundation and dusted with powder. Unfortunately by midday my skin was already getting shiny and my makeup was beginning to slip off. My skin is sensitive to SPF which sometimes causes blemishes but I have not had this happen so far. I have however found that the SPF in it, although good, is perhaps not suited for my skin as I had appeared darker by the afternoon as well as in pictures. I am now only using it at night. I have noticed a significant difference in the tone of my skin. It is much more even and I do not need to apply much concealer anymore, the cream has definitely improved the overall appearance of my skin. I will not use it for a continued period because it is too oily for me, but it is a good product that does exactly what it says and can be used as a tinted moisturizer.
i have tried this all thanks to Beauty bulletin it is fabulous and works wonders my uneven skin tone is covered and my dark spots and blemishes are vanished my skin is as clear as could ever be and i am so delighted that i can walk out in confidence.
I was one of the lucky ladies that was selected to test and review the Avon CC cream.
So, what is the first thing you do when you pick up a product - you look at and read the packaging.
Avon cc cream comes in a classic black and silver tube which says "ideal flawless colour corrector cream SPF 50".
If my complection came with packaging it would read "fair skin, freckles and pigmentation and because I suffer from chronic sinus - dark circles". Enough to make any cc cream cringe!
Now fair skin does not sound so daunting but let me tell you - one micron to light or dark and it becomes a terrifying picture! The shade I used is Ivory and it is absolutely perfect!! A match made in heaven!
I was concerned that it might not be able to fade the look of my pigmentation and freckles but I had no need to worry - a flawless coverage whilst still looking very natural, faint sunkisses visible which is as I prefer it.
As I said my dark circles is always a worry as it is very obvious. Avon cc cream made a huge difference - very impressive indeed.
The 50 SPF is another added benefit to this cc cream. In our climate it is impossible to even consider leaving your house without sunprotection. And I always wonder do I apply sunscreen first, then make-up or afterwards. No more worries - all in one,this product is fab!
Avon cc cream just keeps on giving and giving... It applies smoothly and makes your skin feel refreshed, nourished and it doesn't feel as if you are wearing anything.
It is so economical - both in the price (a giveaway) and in the tiny amount needed to apply.
Do I like the Avon cc cream - no. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it!
Firstly thank you to Beautybulletin, for the Avon CC cream to test.
I have been using it for a week now, and completely loved the product. It applies well to the skin,there's no need to apply a big amount. it blends into my skin which leaves me with natural looking skin. It also leaves my skin soft and doesn't dry out my skin like some other products I've tried before. I'm definitely putting this on my make up list. And my friends notice how lovely my skin looked. Great product Avon.
I have been using the Avon CC Cream for over a week now and I must say it works wonders. IT'S WINNING!!!!! Even my boyfriend noticed a difference in my skin. I would reccomend it to anyone who has blemished skin. It's thee perfect cover-up!!
In short, it definitely delivered in its promise. The price is reasonable for just R84.95 as an introductory price. It definitely corrects your skins natural colour. It's light wearing and not heavy on the skin. It really covers up but still makes your skin feel natural. It smells amazing. Check my video for a fuller review.
Well... All I can say... Is that I am a huge fan of this product. This product matched my skin perfectly (Ivory), it smelt great and was so easy to apply.. Best of all it made a huge difference to the overall look and feel of my skin. I have a combination skin and a few freckles (that I love) but the CC cream really just evened out my skin tone and created a nice base for the rest of my make-up.. Best of all, I can use it on the weekends when I don't really have the time or energy to do a full face of make-up.. Big Fan.. Love, Love..
my oh my im impressed with cream. I got the caramel cream. You dont need to apply a lot just a bit goes a long way. It has corrected my uneven skin tone and it also lasts the whole day no need to reapply. This is a must have for anyone who loves good quality makeup
Thank you Beauty Bulletin and Avon for choosing me as one of the people to review this product. I normally use heavy foundation so I thought this would be similar. I found it to be light on the skin and I really love the feeling, nothing heavy and my pores can still breathe. Its perfect for me and I really do feel and see the difference it brought my skin. I also love the fact that it has such a high SPF, wow, so I am so protected especially in summer it will be perfect. I will definitely be buying this in future as well.
More than just a concealer. I have never used CC creams, in fact I am hardly a fan of liquid make up. Having received this product to test, I find the following:
SPF 50!!!! I have super sensitive skin and so I burn easily, it is amazing that a Cream has such a high SPF. The color I received was medium beige, I would have been inclined to natural beige being closer to my tone. However, the cream is lighter in shade than it appears on the color guide, with a little blending, it was not noticeable at all.
I am very happy with fact that it is easy to apply and not sticky. It covered a few dark spots I have and I noticed a lightening in this week that I have used it.
My mother used the cream as well and commented on how easy it was to apply and cover without noticing.
The downside? I find that the color chart is slighting misleading as to the eventual shade, so that needs to be looked at
Overall, it is an awesome product for fuss free application and for people like me who do not use foundations etc.
I have received a sample to try and test, and I am so glad that I was one of the lucky chosen ones... I would not have bought this for myself if I have not tried it now for myself.
I am a person that does not wear base at all. I only put on a face cream in the morning and there I go.
I find this cream light and comfortable. I never wear a base as I can feel it all day long, as if my skin is not breathing... must all be in my head... hahaha....
This cream is perfect for everyday use, and it hides my marks on my forehead that I got from our lovely South African sun and a hormone pill that was too strong for my body... its as if I don't even have any marks anymore, and you can not even see that I put on a cream to try and hide it.
I will surely be buying this in the future and will also recommend this to anyone that also does not like to wear a heavy base. also perfect for the summer as it has a SPF of 50!! Awesome!!
