The general public had not yet had time to get bored with BB creams, as their more advanced counterparts appeared - CC creams (according to the next letter of the alphabet). The ideal tone of the face without the effect of a mask, a perfect fusion with the native skin color, hydration, durability and a feeling of comfort all day long - this is all promised by the CC cream created by Lumene. Reviews about him draw the very ideal that many girls are unsuccessfully looking for. But does he have any flaws at all?
Positive Feedback
The cream is easy to use: it spreads beautifully over the face, easily layered, fits perfectly even on the skin around the eyes (although, of course, it is not intended for her, but many were so enamored with this product that they put aside all their conventional means).
The cream has an unusual texture: at first it is liquid and noticeably shines in the first minute after application, but then it becomes very soft and powdery. Another advantage is that it can be used as a proofreader! For example, to hide localredness, you should apply Lumene CC-cream only on problem areas, carefully blend it, and it will merge perfectly with the skin, hide the redness, but the borders of the “patch” will be completely invisible. Many girls, for example, with very dark or very fair skin, who for a long time could not find a foundation of a suitable shade, finally found their ideal in the Lumene line. Reviewed by a wide variety of girls, CC cream adapts perfectly to any individual skin tone.
As you know, it is better to apply tonal products on a moisturizing base, otherwise they will emphasize all peeling and unevenness. CC-cream "Lumene", reviews of which are mostly enthusiastic, copes with moisturizing on its own so well that it even slightly smoothes fine wrinkles. This can be seen in almost all photographs. He alone is able to replace the base for makeup, corrector and foundation.
The skin under the cream does not sweat, while the product does not require renewal during the day and is able to withstand even a sporting event. It tolerates heat well, does not float and does not remain on clothes. The smell is evaluated differently: someone talks about the aroma of berries, someone about a rather pleasant, but standard cosmetic fragrance.
"Lumene". CC cream. Feedback from those who are still dissatisfied
This is a truly amazing product with extremely few critical reviews. Among the minor claims to the cream are the following:
1. Not economical. It is very actively absorbed by the skin and consumedrelatively quickly. Perhaps this is the case, but the price of the cream is quite acceptable in order to afford to use it in the amount required.
2. Emphasizes pores, excessively thick, poorly distributed - such reviews against the background of hundreds of opposite ones look completely unconvincing. Perhaps we are talking about a product that was not stored well, or a fake.
3. Leaves marks on clothes. This is contrary to reviews that said it was super durable.
4. After some time after application, it changes color from natural to carrot orange and causes peeling - such a claim was voiced in only one review, it may also have been a spoiled product, a fake, or there was an allergy to some component of the cream.
You can meet other negative reviews. For example, here is what one of the ladies writes: “I was delighted, I didn’t have such perfect skin as with him, I used it every day, but after a few months the skin clearly became worse - subcutaneous, painful acne appeared. I had to throw away the cream, and treat the skin for a long time and sadly. I looked at the composition - now I understand what's the matter. Chemistry on chemistry! And this is not said by ordinary users, but by bloggers who constantly try different cosmetics, and they have something to compare "Lumene" CC cream with.
Reviews from foreign bloggers
In general, the cream is a success abroad. Users write that it perfectly covers imperfections, looks very natural, does not cake in skin wrinkles. However, invery many, and even positive reviews, have minuses of the tool, which indicates the objectivity of such reviews. For example, the finish is not powdery enough for oily skin, and in general the cream shines quite strongly in the first hour and only then shrinks, it is difficult to choose the color for girls with very white skin (this was mentioned in the review of one blogger from Finland). The average rating on one of the foreign review sites is 4.4 points (67 reviews), while 85% of buyers would purchase this product again. Good result!
What do those who don't like say? Too heavy, too sticky, too orange - as always, ladies with very thin snow-white skin complain about this. In terms of technical characteristics, too, not everyone praises "Lumene" (SS-cream). Reviews from owners of combination skin are especially critical: it drains from a moisturizer, and without a cream it dries and tightens the face. True, this problem can be solved: carefully prepare the skin of the face with peeling, and then let the cream shrink for about half an hour.
Conclusions
This is really a breakthrough from a fairly budget brand "Lumene". With more rave reviews than any comparable luxury product, CC Cream is truly worth considering. Its shortcomings are insignificant, and as for the heavy composition, you should not forget that this cream is intended not so much for care as for creating a decorative effect. After all, the prefix CC means "color control". That is, the main function of such a product is to create a flawless complexion. Probably waiting for usrelease of new generation creams, such as DD, even more advanced and really representing two, three or four products in one.
