    I love this cc cream! I don't always uses cc cream, but this one matches the colour of my skin whether I've been out in the sun or not! It's super light and I never feel like I am wearing any cream. I highly recomend!

    I absolutely love this...I wanted a moisturizer, sunscreen, and tint all in one product for travel and this is it. I love the natural look and the 100 shade is perfect for my skin tone. The one ounce squeeze tube is perfect for packing. For extra coverage on certain spots I just use a cover stick. This wears well most of the day, with some fading after about seven hours of wear. Overall, if you're looking for a lightweight foundation that has some sun-protection benefits, this CC Cream is worth a look.

    This cc cream is pretty great. I love how moisturizing it is, and the SPF 35 is fantastic (although I still recommend you apply regular sunscreen underneath). Although it doesn't completely cover bad blemishes, it does even out my complexion and counteract most redness. It is good as a basic cc cream for people who only want some light, daily coverage, especially during the warmer months. My main complaint, however, is that it is rather expensive for a low-to-medium coverage cc cream. At $10, it's on the slightly higher end of drugstore face products. Another complaint of mine is that the color range is poor. It only comes in 3 colors: light, light/medium, and medium, with no shades to accommodate very fair or deeper skin tones.

    I've been looking for a foundation for years that doesn't go flaky on my face while also looks very natural and this is definitely it! It's not heavy, it hides away my newly acquired age spots, goes on smooth ... I would recommend it to anyone!

    I was a little leary of this one; "smart shade" creams tend not to do very well on me at all...I was pleasantly surprised with this one. My skin is relatively light with a bluish undertone and this smart shade cream made my skin glow without it turning orange! My skin looks luminous; and being an Almay product ;it is so gentle;there was no irritation what so ever. Small discolourations and wrinkles seemed to dissapear-a go to for mornings where I don't want to apply full makeup....

    I tried the BB creams before, and for my skin they don't really work the way I had hoped. I got a CC cream from almays facebook as a freebie. I LOVE this product! It covers up my uneven tones. It's light & still have the feel of a foundation. This is a fabulous product and I highly recommend it.

    This product costs around $18 Canadian at Shopper's Drug Mart, but I got it when they had their 40% off Almay makeup sale, and I think I found a new favorite foundation/ cc cream, this stuff is amazing, my skin has never felt better with a product before. I got the shade light-medium and its a perfect match. I use my knock off beauty blender to help apply.

    I have tried numerous BB creams and decided to give Almay's CC cream a try. I love it! It is smooth to apply and now I no longer need to worry about additional concealer as it is already built it. The shade blends flawlessly and it is not heavy or greasy on the skin. My fiancé even noticed a difference which says a lot! I highly recommend this product.
