OK, so I know how much of a fad the CC thing comes across. I was the world’s biggest BB cream fan and I’m not afraid to come across as a total a-hole by saying that I was talking about them before they’d barely even hit our shores (here lies the proof); but, when BBs took off and then the word CC cream started being banded around, I rolled my eyes so hard I almost detached my retinas.
However, I’m rather partial to a bit of CC and La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream is something to definitely be partial to.
What La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream does for redness
Designed to target redness and discolouration, Rosaliac by La Roche-Posay is a collection of products that calm, soothe, reduce and protect. La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream therefore reduces the visible redness and discolouration whilst protecting with SPF 30 sun protection and working to actively calm redness throughout the day with the potent active, Ambophenol. If redness is your main concern, it is worth reading it alongside La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra and the Clinique Redness Solutions range.
One shade for everyone: does it actually blend?
Designed for sensitive skin, La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream only comes in one colour which always makes me tense up. Being as white as a sheet, one-for-all colours always leave me looking orange, like one of those bints from Snog, Marry, Avoid (both male or female). However, this really does work, it blends perfectly whilst still giving excellent (but almost undetectable) coverage on both my skin and a friend who tried it who’s much darker than I am. It’s bizarre how well it works.
The trick to the colour is the unique blend and ground-breaking balance between lightness and depth, between white, red, yellow and black pigments. Black!? I know right. Weird.
Who should buy it
If your face lights up at a moment’s notice or, like me, you’re prone to consistent redness, then La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream might just be your answer. Only a small amount is needed as a little goes a long, long way, so the 50ml pump tube should last a good while.
La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream SPF30 is £19.50 for 50ml, from Boots stores and online.
