Gone are the days of cover up foundations that undo all the skin therapists good work. Alphabet creams are packed full of great ingredients that not only keep the skin healthy, but make it look even, fresh and glowy.
They are one of the easiest “sells” in a skin clinic, spa or beauty salon because they sell themselves. Simply apply some at the end of a skin treatment and your client will see how great their skin can look, and want to take it home to prolong the benefits.
BB Cream
BEST FOR: THOSE WHO LIKE THEIR BASES CRAMMED WITH BENEFITS
The term ‘BB cream’ has broadened quite a bit since these bases first hit counters. So much so that you can now even get a BB cream for your hair.
But when they first flew in from the East Asian market, BB meant ‘beauty balm’ or ‘blemish balm’, and was the most multi-tasking makeup-meets-skincare product we’d seen.
It’s like a tinted moisturiser on steroids, acting as a day cream with a tone-perfecting tint, SPF, hydration and a targeted treatment thrown in, to tick all the boxes.
Think dewy, undetectable, but just enough pigment to make skin look polished.
ELES Age-Defying BB Cream 30
Multi-faceted and benefit-packed, this innovative treatment cream primes, tints, nourishes, evens out skin tone, and helps to strengthen and protect skin on contact.
Upon application, skin immediately appears more uniform, hydrated and luminous, while being protected from UVA/UVB damage with Broad Spectrum SPF 30. Over time, age defying peptides and natural extracts help to promote cell health, strengthen elasticity and restore skin’s youthful glow.
CC Cream
BEST FOR: ACNE SCARS, ROSACEA AND UNEVEN SKIN TONE
CC cream – or ‘colour correction’ cream – is like an Instagram filter that follows you everywhere, imperceptibly veiling uneven skin tones and reddened patches.
Though it won’t crank up the same level of coverage a BB cream can achieve, you can wear it alone for a seemingly born-with-it glow, or under foundation as a corrective primer.
They’re a bit of a golden ticket if you deal with rosacea, dullness, or acne scars, as CC’s with photoluminescent technology can do wonderful things for your skin.
Phytomer - CC Cream - Skin Perfecting Cream SPF 20
This smooth colour correction cream with an ultra-natural finish, combines all the performance of skin care with the magic of makeup. Moisturising, it relieves dryness while soothing inflammation, brightens and protects skin while minimising imperfections for a glowing and flawless appearance.
DD Cream
BEST FOR: A TINT WITH A PROTECTIVE PUNCH
Most BB and CC creams pack in a good dose of SPF, but DD creams push protective bases up to a whole new level. Typically armed with filters that shield skin from UVA and UVB rays, their anti-oxidant properties make them a strong ally for city-dwellers.
They are the ultimate alphabet cream for those that want it all in one product; hydrating, protective, refining, brightening and perfecting.
Pevonia - YouthRenew Tinted DD Cream
Lightweight, age-defying, deeply-hydrating, pore refining and brightening, this multi-tasking formula is the ultimate 5 in 1 DD Cream.

A subtle natural tint reduces the appearance of enlarged pores for a flawless complexion, while Collagen, Vitamin C, and Green Olive Extracts conceal and repair fine lines and wrinkles. Broad spectrum protection.
Tinted Moisturiser
BEST FOR: A FUSS-FREE KISS OF COVERAGE
For the lowest level of pigment and an emphasis on serving up hydration, plump for a tinted moisturiser.
They typically come with SPF and a no-frills approach to boosting skin’s radiance, which makes them the perfect barely-there base for holiday skin.
ELES - Mineral Sheer Tint SPF 20
Lightweight, mineral-enriched, tinted cream with broad spectrum sun protection. Evens skin tone with a sheer natural radiance, as it nourishes, moisturizes and protects. Available in natural and glowing finishes.
