“BB” and “CC” are both marketing terms so it’s tough to give a specific technical answer.
In general, a BB cream (aka Beauty Balm, Beauty Benefit, Blemish Base, or Blemish Balm) is typically a tinted moisturizer that also contains some level of sun protection sometimes along with other ingredients like antioxidants.A CC cream (aka Color Correcting) cream is pretty much the same thing but may have a lighter texture and may incorporate light diffusing particles.Again, the key is to realize these are marketing labels, not scientific terms. A company can pretty much call its products anything it wants.Here’s a nice summary of BB and CC creams written by our friend Cheryl Wischhover, formerly of Fashionista.
