Avon CC cream in ivory is a perfect match for my skin tone . The product is not greasy at all and provides the light coverage o need for daily wear. And best of all it has an spf of 50!!! Which means I don't have to worry about layering sunscreen before! It comes in a purse size tube which is very convenient as well. Only need a pea sized amount of the product so it lasts very long too!
There is a big change in my skin tone since I started using Avon flawless cc cream!, I also like the fact that it is lighter and my face does not look like that of a clown!
I have told all my friends and relatives to try it!
My easy 3 step guide to getting the polished look quickly..
**Step 1: Start off with a fresh, clean canvas. I washed my face and used a toner before taking the pic
**Step 2: Apply the CC cream directly onto the skin. I squirted a generous amount ( for the purposes of this pic- I usually don’t use a lot) onto my finger, applied five dots (forehead, nose, chin, right cheek, left cheek) of it onto my face and then rubbed onto my face evenly in order to smooth it out. An applicator can be used, like a makeup brush or sponge, but I prefer my finger to be able to blend in and smooth out the liquid easier. I love the fact that it’s easy to apply and not heavy because I prefer a natural look and the Avon CC Cream is quite light and translucent. I would prefer a bit more colour and coverage for the few marks that I have on my skin, so I just added more on those spots, left it for a few seconds, then dabbed it in to not be so stark. Another reason why I scored the ‘quality field’ on this moisturiser so high is because it contains a high SPF in it. A lot of the other daily moisturising creams contain an SPF 30 sunblock in. As I am darker skinned and burn quicker- I appreciate the SPF 50 in this product. I tried to research if the sunblock is oil or gel based because after the application of the cream, my skin seems a bit too shiny for my liking. I now use this with a bit of lose powder over just for a more settled look.
**Step 3: Finish off with the look with mascara, eye liner and gloss. Use some of your favourite jet liner (liquid liner), mascara, lipstick and lip gloss to finish off the look. I used my Avon Mega Effects Mascara, Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick (Pure Orchid) and Ultra Glazewear Absolute Lipgloss (Creamy Coral) over to complete my quick and easy 3 steps to getting the pretty polished look.
So I have tried the Avon CC cream for about 3 weeks now. It glides on smooth and creamy and feels luxurious. I have an oily skin so I need to cover over with a matifying foundation or some pressed powder to set it. What I love is that it contains SPF 50 so I will continue to use it going into summer especially around my eye area for correcting those dark rings and sun protection. It did even out my skin colour although next time I will use one colour shade darker. I used natural beige. It did lighten one significant dark spot ever so slightly over this time period although I had to apply a number of layers to make it totally disappear. It claims visible results in 2 weeks. Happy user all around and still using it.
This is a great cream, both health wise, due to it's SPF 50, and is also ideal if you are going for a natural look with makeup on. I use this cream on it's own as foundation and it works wonders. I thoroughly enjoy the light feel of the cream and its sun protection without the greasy feel of sun cream on your face. It also last for ages as you need only minimal amounts of cream for the desired results. Avon CC cream is great and I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
I was one of the lucky ladies to be chosen to review the new Avon CC Cream. I collected my parcel from the post office, very excited just to rip the package open and give this new product a test. On arriving home i was very nimble to get my face washed and moisturized and ready to try out my Avon CC Cream. I opened the tube of CC Cream and began to squeeze a small amount out into the palm of my hand. Rubbing my hands together, then rubbing my CC Cream evenly all over my face. Once i had blended my Cc Cream nicely into my face I looked up into my mirrow. Suddenly I let out an unexpected scream!! I looked like a ghost!! The shade I received was Nude.... This was way too light for me. I was not overjoyed about that, but decided to still carry out the testing of this product. It does go on very smoothly, it covers all imperfections where needed and does last the whole day ( I know this as i left my Nude CC Cream on the whole day - but stayed at home - aka - Looked like a ghost ). I will purchase another CC Cream from Avon but will go for a more darker shade. I would reccomend this product to family and friends.

Hi everyone,
Today I will be reviewing Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream in soft honey. So this has been my first experience using a cc cream and I must say it absolutely great. I have a combination skin type and need to drink a lot of water especially during winter as I find that my skin dries out and the areas that are not oily (i.e. cheeks, chin, forehead). Over and above this, I also have fair skin, this means that when I don’t wear a blush or some base then I literally look like the walking dead, my skin looks pale and I look like I haven’t slept in forever.
Needless to say the slight tint that the cc cream provides, combined with the moisturizing SPF 50 gives me a subtle bronzy glow which lasts for about +-8 hours which is long enough to make it through a working day. The cream has a lightweight feel to it, once applied you can feel it on your skin and after a few minutes you forget completely that you have applied a cream. Unlike some cc creams Avon’s Ideal Flawless CC Cream has pleasant smell that is not overpowering once applied. Being fair of complexion I have some red capillaries on my face (due to showering with very hot water and stepping into the cold immediately after) which the cc cream easily hides as well as the light brown blemishes dues to acne scarring. I like the fact that the cream benefits me two fold covering my skin’s flaws as well as providing UV protection (ladies, remember that UV rays are present during the day even when there is cloud cover and no sun).
Overall, I am quite pleased with the overall results of the cc cream and would recommend it to anybody who wants some slight cover of a base combined with the protection of a SPF 50 from harmful UV rays. I would also recommend this product to teenagers who are first timers to base/concealers as it is a good starter product without looking too mature for your age and feeling like the makeup is being “caked” on.
That’s it from me, hope you found this review informative.
Is the CC Cream really as good as it claims to be?

Apologies for the late review, however my last day for the two week challenge is today. As a regular Avon customer I was overly excited when I received the Ideal Flawless CC Cream! And as most of the time, Avon definitely lived up to its' quality and standard.
Just like a coin with two sides, this product has its pros and cons.
The Ideal Flawless CC Cream, provides a medium coverage with abit of shimmer and the best part is the SPF 50! Coverage + Protection= Bonus! The product basically allows for less products to be applied, which is great!
The ideal flawless CC Cream claims to lighten dark spots within two weeks. in the first week of using the product, not much could be seen and the product absorbed quite nicely into the skin. However, the change came in week 2, while my dark spots have lightened, my chin and forehead has broken out with many pimples! So while I achieved what the product claims, it has also created more dark spots unfortunately.
One last issue with the CC Cream, is that the cream is of a much lighter colour, therefore you may not even achieve a medium coverage with product. Yet this can be solved by buying 1 colour darker.
Now it’s up to each individual to decide on purchasing the product or not.
It definitely gets thumbs up from me for: Coverage Light weight and no 'make-up build up' Great SPF 50 protection Not ridiculously expensive
Thank you to Beauty Bulletin and Avon for the chance to review this product.
Impressed! I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to foundations/concealers because my skin tends to let me down at important times. I have combination skin so this product worked well for my skin. I don't usually like wearing foundation, but I enjoyed using this product as it was natural looking.
Although I didn't use a moisturiser with it, I wouldn't advise a person who has dry skin to use this product. It has a powdery feel once applied. But This worked to my advantage as I didn't need to layer.
Meaning, as a working mum, always on the go, I didn't need to use a moisturiser before or translucent powder after, to cover up shiny patches. And the other good thing is that my skin looked sort of radiant. Someone commented that I have a doll's complexion-I'm assuming she meant porcelain. So that was a positive comment that I picked up.
What I noticed yesterday, is that the pimple scars on my chin has faded. And 2 pimples that were beginning to erupt did not turn red or leave a scar. So this product has some magic.
Overall, I loved using this product, it worked for me and I would continue using it. For the price, well worth it!
So my quest for flawless skin continues. This time with a product that in my books has the makings of an ideal skin treatment – having both cosmetic AND restorative qualities. Avon’s CC Color Corrector cream. This recently introduced ‘multi-tasking miracle’ works like this – with its light weight formula, it contains color correcting pigments to conceal spots and blemishes WHILE fading existing pigmentation such as the unsightly acne spots in my chin area that just - well, will not allow me to be great.
Adored the cream’s light, beachy, ultra-feminine fragrance and between that and how perfectly the shade I selected blended with my skin tone– I couldn’t wait to get cracking with the cream.
Now I’m a cover girl. I love my coverage. I NEED my coverage. The texture of the cream and how easily it absorbed was by far not too shabby for a cream. However it did very little to conceal my acne spots, which admittedly is my primary concern and therefore the area I wanted to tackle most when using this cream. The results I wanted to see were around the correcting bit, so I could see a reduction on the appearance of my acne spots.
Aesthetically, I found it to have a warm sensation on my skin after application that lingered on a while after application – I figured this was owed to the correcting element of the cream. Now I’m usually extremely pedantic when it comes to sensations on my skin following a product application I know many people like to ‘feel’ things for them to believe they’re truly working but I’m one of those that like to see results as opposed to feeling them. Besides heat on skin normally means darkening and as a dark skinned person this is never an ideal.
But having used the CC cream for 3 weeks full now nothing adverse has resulted from it except that I’ve noted, pleasantly so, that the newer acne spots on my forehead seemed to have faded a great deal. My main focus now is to see the same on the much older marks around my chin area. I’m currently enjoying the CC cream for daytime coverage and as a base moisturizer under my full cover foundation. I had to pat myself on the back when I made this discovery.
Overall a fantastic product given its multi-tasking formula. Retailing for R159 but currently on sale for R84.95, don’t just take my word for it contact your Avon Rep and try it for yourself.
After using a BB Cream from a leading cosmetic company for a few months now, I thought there was no way that someone could come up with a product to even closely match it. I believed that the BB cream was the mother of all creams, offering everything that we "non-heavy-makeup" girls preferred. When I got the sample from Beauty Bulletin, first I was pleased that the Sable shade I had indicated actually matched my skin tone 100%! And then a bonus was the SPF50, which I had never seen anywhere, with any cream. That was a definite plus for me.
On application, the cream gave me an instant glow and boost, though I did find it to be slighly on the oily side, especially on the T-Panel (nothing a stroke of pressed powder could not fix). I have uneven skin, and a few small marks from a bad habit of squeezing pimples. This cream offered not only coverage, but I realized after 2 weeks that the marks were looking much lighter, and my skin tone was getting more even.
The cream also seemed to be ideal for use at night - despite the SPF. I had a few functions to attend, and needed some perfect coverage, and I thought why not? I found that this lasted the entire night, perfect under my colours (eye-shadow and blush), although some of it did rub off on my top as it's not 100% colour-stay.
My skin is definitely looking healthier, more radiant and has that glow since I started using this CCC cream. It's an amazing product that has improved my complexion, saves time on application, and is going to be a regular with my Avon orders.
I am not a make up person, infact, I hardly ever use make up. Mainly because I feel it does not feel and look natural most of the time. So I was very sceptical when asked to try the new Avon cc cream.but I must say I found it amazing. Today marks exactly 2weeks since I have started using it, and the difference is tremendous. Even people have started noticing I look brighter than ever. I call it the tripple threat because it 1) protects, 2) covers 3) corrects. It stays on my skin from the moment I apply it, and feels like I'm not wearing anything at all. All I need is a pea size amount and I'm sorted for the whole day. I even forget it's on my face. Love it. The price is worth it. Only 2 weeks and my spots caused by pimples long ago are fading significantly and my skin tone has never been better in years. My advice would be not to forget to wash your face before bed, as it might cause break outs.I absolutely love it. I'm hooked for life. Thank you Avon.
I had a pleasure of receiving the Flawless Colour Corrector from Avon. I t something every woman should have in their hand bag. Whaty I love about it, it compactable and easy to use no need for a foundation it like a second skin. I fell in love with it from the first application as I am always on a rush I dont have the luxury of applaying the lotion, foundation and powder so with the Avon Colour Corrector it easy no need for the whole routen. Thank you so much for giving me the oppotunity of trying it.
I was fortunate to receive this little tube from BB to test, thank you BB :-)!
PRODUCT CLAIMS: 1) Begins to fade the appearance of dark spots in just two weeks! 2) Instantly evens tone & appearance of skin. 3) Improves texture & appearance of skin over time. 4) Light to medium coverage 5) CORRECTS by improving look of dullness, redness & dark circles. 6) PROTECTS by fighting free radicals & offering sun protection with Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 50+. 7) PERFECTS by helping to fade the look of pigmentation.
MY THOUGHTS: 1) The Ivory shade was a perfect match to my fair skin tone. 2) The 30 ml tube is small enough to fit in your handbag. 3) The cream is light and covers fairly easily. 4) It has a pearly consistency that leaves a slight glow on my skin. 5) It immediately covered some of my break-outs (eeeuw) on my skin & I was quite surprised as it covered them better than similar products I have tried in the past. 6) It did improve the appearance of my quite dry skin & appeared to even out the tone a bit. 7) It made the application of my foundation easier. 8) With regard to the improvement of redness & appearance of dark spots in 2 weeks, the jury is still out on that one. I did not see a noticable improvement over time, but will keep using it & keep monitoring. 9) The special price of R84.95 for July is quite affordable, but I must be honest that I am not impressed with the normal price of R159.95. At that price I feel that Avon is pricing them out of the competitive market.
FINAL VERDICT: Worth giving a try at the special price of R84.95, as it delivers on most of its promises. It is also an improvement on BB creams & even some CC creams available. The SPF50 sun protection is a big plus, as most facial products deliver only SPF 15 - 30. Would love to keep using it & monitor long-term effect.
I received my Avon CC cream 2 weeks ago, Wow I'm in love . It is really effective as a colour corrector and it makes my skin soft and smooth. for the past two weeks I have not been using foundation, that's why I say it's an amazing Cc.I have recommended it to my friends
The cc cream did not hide any pigmentation marks on my face. It did have an awesome soft velvety feeling and was easy to apply. It did give my face a glowing effect. I will use this product in summer when going to the beach, as I do not want to use a base. I did apply after cleansing & moisturizing, then applied my regular base over that. The coverage was excellent. I did find the nude shade was to light for me. I thank BB to allow me to try & review this product.
I must agree with all the positive reviews I've read about this CC cream as it has certainly improved my skin tone. Most of us are plagued by uneven skin tone and for me this product has really worked wonders in evening my skin out. It adds a radiance and lustre to my skin that had been missing due to the harsh climate in winter.Has a Spf50 which I find ideal ideal for our harsh sun. People have asked me about my new found glow and I've been tempted not to reveal my remedy ;) .. Definitely a winner for me :)
I’m always keen to try new products when it comes to achieving perfect, flawless looking skin. I’m prone to blemishes, dull, tried patchy looking skin and the odd pigmentation spots. So, when I’m constantly looking for the perfect products for my skin. Because my skin is bleaker during winter, I opted for the Medium Beige colour. I’m happy announce that I’m pretty pleased with Avon's Colour Corrector Cream. The first thing that got my attention was the fact that it's broad spectrum SPF50. I thoroughly believe in wearing a good sun protector every single day. Secondly, I love that this product is lightweight and can be layered on. I applied a thin layer each morning after moisturising. I then applied my primer and finally a very light layer of foundation. I found that then applying another thin layer of the Colour Corrector Cream under my eye area and on my cheek bone also doubled as a highlighter. I loved the clean smell and the texture. It's not heavy and doesn’t seem to clog my pores. Leaves my skin looking clean, clear, and gives off an even dewy look. Happiness :)
Hello everyone, I will be writing a quick review on the Avon ideal flawless CC cream. However, before that I would like to say thank you to Beauty Bulletin for sending me the Avon ideal flawless CC cream. Now Let's get started:
The Packaging I absolutely love the packaging! The black packaging gives the product a very sophisticated look. The pop of pink colour goes well with all black packaging. The only downside I find is that the shade colour is printed at the back with white background. Just like all the information that is on the front I prefer the shade name to be in the front with same font as the bottom half of the tube.
About A CC cream stands for colour correcting and it is basically a tinted moisturizer. The Avon CC cream states that it is lightweight multi-tasking formula with colour correcting pigments conceals flaws immediately and fades the look of pigmentation.
The Formula The Avon CC cream formula comes in a cute travel size tube, consisting of 30ml of the product. In addition, the CC cream also has a pretty high sun protection factor (SPF) of 50. In order to find your right shade you should definitely visit a store and hold the sample colours against your jawline to find your perfect shade.
The formula consistency is really in the middle by that I mean the cream isnot to liquid or thick. It has a nice consistency, which helps the product blend in more easily. Also, the formula is buildable. So, after applying the first layer, you find yourself wanting a bit more coverage you can go ahead and apply a second layer.
The formula also has a very unique scent which is not too strong. The scent I believe is a combination of sunscreen and the cosmetic scent that makeup products have. It is a likeable scent, which after application does linger on the face. You can smell a waft of it when you are moving around and doing your daily work. However, like I said it is a lovely light scent.
The Application I tried applying Avon CC cream with my fingers and the brush. I think using a brush is a better option than the fingers because it will give you a even, smooth coverage. Once applied on the face it does not feel like you have something on your faces fact your skin feels smooth and soft. So again it is lightweighted but of course like I said above, as you move around you will smell the scent of it here and there.
Here are the steps to applying Avon CC cream: 1) To apply CC cream I think. You will need to apply sunscreen or moisturizers. Even though there is a high SPF of 50, applying more sunscreen will not cause damage to your skin, it will further protect it. The reason for applying sunscreen or moisturizer before is because your face would be soft and moistures giving the CC cream a better finish. *If you have tried this method please let me know the difference down below in the comments. It will help others to make a decision whether to use a moisturizer before applying a CC cream or not.*
2) You need a good brush to apply Avon CC cream. A brush that you love to use for foundation or any other face products. It does not really have to be a brush it could be a sponge, beauty blender etc. Basically anything that gives the product a nice, natural finish because that particular tool will come in handy with this CC cream as well.
The Verdict The Avon CC cream is worth a try. The consistency of the formula is good and also buildable. Once, this is applied you will smell a scent on your face but it is not too strong. Perfect for those who prefer scented makeup products and also those who are not a fan of scented makeup products. So, the Avon CC cream carriers to all people because nothing is too extreme or too less. I have honestly not tried this product enough time to tell you if it improves the look of dullness, dark circles and redness or helps fade the look of pigmentation as the products states.
In the end, I would just like to say how a product suit someone and their opinions differ from person to person. If you genuinely want to try the Avon CC cream give it a shot maybe it will work for you better than others. Everyone skin type differs and so does peoples choices.
For those of you who are curious about the Avon CC cream the regular price of it is R159.95 each.
With this product, i wanted to take my time as i have never used an Avon product before, i was surely not dissappointed. With the dry winter sun in Durban, like anyone, my skin was looking dull. This lightly fragranced, color correcting cream gave my skin an even tone with a sun-kissed glow as well as improving texture. I was impressed with Avon's marketing tool of adding a brochure, i will be silly not to create an Avon collection with prices so affordable.
I love this product because it feels like a light dusting of powder on my skin. It's not heavy like a regular foundation and provides medium coverage on the first application but it can be built up to a heavier base if necessary.
There's no overwhelming fragrance in the cream which is something I have picked up from using similar creams before.
I used it over two weeks and enjoyed the flawless finish it gave my skin. The marks left from my acne cleared up considerably and it didn't irritate or aggravate the acne already present. It's a non-oily formula but it does need a bit of powder to keep my t-zone matte for a good few hours. I would definitely suggest regular exfoliation of the skin to work with this CC Cream as it does amplify the dry patches on my face.
The colour was a teensy bit too light for my skin tone on application but it blended quite well after a few minutes. It doesn't require a lot of remover at the end of the day and is quite gentle on the skin. It's not a product that I would apply quickly as I found it streaked my skin easily and needed to be blended with a bit more care.
All in all, I would say this is a really good product that I would not only purchase again but pass the word around about too. I was impressed with the coverage and the silky feel of the product and would definitely add it to my make-up bag for a long while to come.
These days it is hard to keep up with which letter of the alphabet we’re spreading across our faces. It seems BB creams are a thing of the past and as we progress through the letters, we make our way to the all-new and improved CC Creams.
I am a sucker for Avon products so was exceptionally excited to try their new CC Cream! I have used BB creams in the past and have been impressed by the convenience of the all-in-one product!
Avon’s CC cream has some amazing claims such as helps eliminate dark spots, evens and improves skin tone.
I love the fact that it is SPF 50 coverage, simply as I am forgetful when it comes to applying sunscreen, and we cannot afford to forget, in the South African sun (even in winter!). Honestly, I found the coverage to be very poor, it gave my skin a gorgouse dewy finish – but I wasn’t confident to wear it on its own. After reading more into it, I decided to give it a try and use it as a primer followed by my usual foundation routine. As a primer, it gives my skin a stunning glow and it doesn’t flake, all while protecting my skin from the sun and making my makeup last longer. Although they say it is buildable coverage, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, as I found it became crumby!
One thing that is definitely commendable is how it evens the skin tone over time. It is quite impressive how my dark marks lightened.
I love Avon products. Really. So obviously I was excited to be included in the review club for the CC cream, I previously enjoyed Avon's BB Cream. I like to use something constantly and consistently in order to give it a proper review, I wore this CC cream everyday these past few weeks. I have worn it on its own and as a primer under my foundation. I find it works best for me as a primer. I tend to use less foundation as it does give a small amount of coverage but it seems my make up sticks around a little longer with this underneath. In the beginning I did not notice to much of a change in my skin tone as Avon promises, it does brighten up my skin to a slightly dewy look when wearing it but it wasn't until the end of my trial did I notice that it has faded a few dark spots here and there but I can't say it has made a huge difference. I would definitely say this is a very light coverage CC cream, its not enough for me to wear on its own on a daily basis. I do love it though because I think it is going to be absolutely perfect for summer time and those hot days spent on the beach as it does have a high SPF content. Avon never disappoint me.
Thank you very much BB for sending me the Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Correcting Cream to test. I must admit i wanted to test it properly before writing my review and i was also very sceptical i battle with dark spots and redness and decided to use it for 3 weeks before writing my review. I am honestly very very impressed and very happy as i can see improvement on my skin. i have also applied my normal base and then only applied the cc cream and to be honest the CC cream is by far the best it leaves my skin silky soft, moisturised and smooth. It also gives my skin a wonderful glow, look and feel and truly gives me a lot of confidence as i have received a lot of compliments since i have been using the cc cream its a wonderful product and a must the best part is that it has a SPF 50 which also protects your skin and it is definitely a must and priority on my shopping list Thank you Avon for this wonderful product
Thank you Avon and Beauty bulletin for the opportunity. I used the the Avon cc cream for about 3 days but i had an acne breakout from it so I had to discontinue use but i didn't want to write a crappy review just because of my sometimes "over sensitive" skin so instead i let my Mother use it everyday and she loves it. I love the fact that it is SPF 50 that is something that is very important for our skins. Regarding coverage it is very thin once its on the skin so its very light so little to medium coverage i would say. Another thing i love about it when its on your skin its matte so you don't look oily, it is also not heavy on your face :)**
Firstly, let me just say - Wow! This is an overall stunning product. I was lucky enough to review the Avon Ideal Flawless CC Colour Correcting Cream in Ivory.
I have very fair skin, with a cool pink undertone. The Ivory shade works perfectly with my skin, and left it feeling smooth and matte. It also covered up the redness in my skin. I did prefer a tiny bit more coverage, so I simply set the CC cream with pressed powder, and voilà! Ready for the day.
I also have combination skin, so usually by the end of the day the foundation in my T-zone has faded. The CC cream actually lasted longer, and it felt light on my skin the whole day, as if I wasn't wearing any make-up. It also didn't leave my skin feeling sticky or dry after application, as some foundations do.
Unfortunately I have not been using the product for two weeks so I can not yet say whether it truly improves dullness and dark circles, or helps fade pigmentation, but so far I am very impressed with the product. It provides UVA/UVB SPF 50, which is more than I've seen in most other similar products.
The best part of it all is that it is completely affordable! I'm guessing it will last about two months, if not more, as I literally only needed to use a drop of product to cover my whole face area. I definitely recommend this product to all girls who make an effort to protect their skin from the sun, and who prefer a natural look and feel when it comes to make-up!
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.
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 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
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. ..
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.
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.

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.

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.
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..
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 love the feel on my skin. No oily residue. Stays on the whole day. Feels very soft on my skin did not cause any break outs. I am very impress with this product. The colour I have is very light(Nude) and goes very well with the face powder I use. I will definitely buy this product in the future.
I received my Avon cc cream last week thank you BB!
I have been using a CC cream caramel for a week now for me it works more like a finish touch on top of my foundation and it give me that shimmery look which is nice. But using it alone it does not cover up my marks and blemishes i still think the BB cream is much more effective than a CC cream. I wouldn't mind having it in my cosmetics due to SPF 50 which protects the skin under harsh conditions. It has a lovely smell, dissolve quite easily on the skin.
I'm not sure if the shade is a bit light for me maybe i should try another darker shade but in love with the shimmery look!
I have been using my Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream for a few days and already see a difference. I have dark patches on my face and since using the CC cream I find that they have already lightened. The cream is light and gets absorbed quickl and the bonus is that there is a 50SPF which for me is excellent. Will keep guys updated in a few more days.
