| Iope Complete Care CC Cream in 02, Natural Beige |
When I was in
Melbourne I managed to pick up my first ever CC cream. I was after the
Hera one initially, but after testing it out in store I found it way too moisturising for my liking, so I
went with Iope instead, and I’m glad I did! Iope’s Complete
Care CC Cream comes in two shades, clear beige (01) for fair pink toned skin,
and natural beige (02) for fair ladies (like myself) with yellow tones. As with
all CC creams I didn’t expect much coverage from this one (or any at all,
really) but I was pleasantly surprised by the results.
It evens out
skin tone, reduces redness around my cheeks and the eczema around my nose and
brightens tremendously. It’s not enough to cover dark circles and red spots however,
and no amount of building will change that. I like that it doesn’t feel thick
or heavy on the skin either, it feels like your skin. It’s also quite
moisturising, but doesn’t make my skin look oily until the 3 hour mark, which
is when the product starts to break down. So it’s not very long lasting, but a
primer would definitely help it last longer. Plus, it has a sun protection
factor of 35++. Can’t complain about that.
There is one
major thing that really ticks me off about Iope (Laneige are also guilty of
this!), they don’t list the full ingredients list on their packaging! For
someone who may be allergic or sensitive to certain ingredients this is a huge
problem. They do include a pamphlet that takes note of a couple of key
ingredients, but how much and in what form?! Gah!
So aside from
that, I am pretty impressed with this CC cream. I’m not sure whether I’ll try
another one in the near future though. I did start at the top of the market with
Iope, so I have a distinct feeling it will only be downhill from here, but if
you have a favourite or any you would like to suggest let me know below!
