The bottom line is, BB creams have more moisturizing properties, so they're definitely the skincare option you should reach for if your skin tends to lean dry. According to L'Oréal Paris, BB creams are designed to hydrate, illuminate, and protect the skin, and offer a more subtle, sheer coverage than a CC cream. They are often formulated with ingredients that deliver hydration to the skin, such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid (via Healthline).
CC creams are ideal for oily and acne prone skin, as opposed to dry skin, because they tend to be matte in texture and often contain ingredients such as charcoal, tea tree oil, clay, and salicylic acid, all which can have a dehydrating or irritating effect on those with dry skin (via Vogue, WebMd, Well + Good, and Healthline).
Overall, if you're the owner of dry skin and are looking for something to replace your heavy, often pore smothering, foundation, a BB cream is the way to go due to its formulation and core ingredients. Even though CC creams come with a plethora of benefits and there are many great options out there on the market, their consistency is simply better suited for oily skinned friends.
