“Great product.. Really impressed with how well this covers the redness without looking like you have makeup on”
Beauty buffs with redness in their skin are praising a budget-friendly makeup product for covering blemishes without needing to apply foundation. Those who have already got their hands on the cream insist that it evens out skin tone and ‘feels light on the skin’ without looking ‘caked on’.
The product in question is the CC Red Correct – Colour Correcting Anti-Redness Cream by popular Korean skincare brand, Erborian. A travel-size tube of the stuff is available for £15 or shoppers can pick up a full-size 45ml version for £38 at LookFantastic.
The clever product acts as an instant colour corrector for red skin while actively reduces puffiness, creates a smooth, even-toned finish and helps to neutralise redness at the source, rather than just covering it up. Glycerin and tiger grass extract help to deeply moisturise and plump your skin, whilst antioxidant-rich vitamin E reduces the look of blemishes and imperfection.

The Erborian colour corrector adapts to your skin tone, with subtle green pigments blurring together to tone down red pigments in your skin. By leaving your skin looking luminous and radiant, the is a great primer before using your usual foundation and concealers, or to be worn on its own for a more natural every day look.
The CC Red Correct – Colour Correcting Anti-Redness Cream has been well received by fans, boasting an overall star-rating of 4.5 out of five based on almost 300 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: “Loving it. It is just what I have been looking for, a great colour match and good coverage that feel so light on my skin.”
A second wrote: “This completely covers all my redness on my face. It’s so gentle. It’s literally changed my life as I no longer need foundation as this blurs everything without me having to use makeup.”
“Great product,” somebody else mentioned. “Really impressed with how well this covers the redness without looking like you have makeup on. Doesn’t irritate skin either.”
One shopper, however, said the CC Red Correct – Colour Correcting Anti-Redness Cream ‘wasn’t for’ them and gave it a two-star review. It reads: “I really wanted to like this but it oxidises so orange for me. The pigment also leaves little red streaks sometimes. I would rather just use a BB cream my actual shade.”
But another loved their latest LookFantastic purchase, adding: “This stuff is brilliant. I can’t get my head round how it comes out green but gives you a coverage to smooth pores but not look ‘caked’ on. I defo prefer this shade in the winter months but use the Erborian purple one during summer.”
