Review: Hada Labo CC Cream Ultimate Whitening & Ultimate Anti Aging

by Jessica Simon - December 05, 2015

I think it's been a year since my last CC Cream review! If you never heard anything about CC Cream, it's a moisturizer, foundation, and sunscreen all in one product, it's pretty much a skincare infused makeup, and I recently started using Hada Labo CC Cream for my daily basis. It has two different variants: Ultimate Whitening & Whitening Anti Aging, and each variant has two different shades: Light (Royal Ivory), and Medium (Elegant Beige). They both have different functions, depending on what your skin needs.

Hada Labo CC Cream Ultimate Whitening

For light and medium skin • Perfect Skin tone • Whitening • UV Protection • Moisturizing • Mild texture • Silky • Smooth • No fragrance • No alkohol

The packaging is small and fairly efficient with the cap, it's very light and travel friendly in my opinion. All of the CC Cream have the same texture, it's creamy and easy to blend, and also same matte finish. I personally like it, because I don't need to powder off. The coverage is really sheer, but I actually don't really mind. There are some days when I need extra coverage, but there are some days when I reach for natural look and will grab this CC Cream instead of my full coverage foundation.

Royal Ivory (Light)

Elegant Beige (Medium)

Though they only have two shades, the lighter shade (Royal Ivory) matches my skintone quite perfectly. And since the texture is really creamy, it sinks in into the skin easily either by using my fingers, brush or makeup sponge. This CC Cream gives slight amount of coverage that I need for everyday.

The second variant is the Ultimate Anti Aging. I would recommend this for those who are already above 30 years old. Both variants have SPF 35 with PA +++ and that's why I like to use them on day time, to protect my skin without applying additional sunscreen.

Ultimate Anti Aging Royal Ivory (Light)

Ultimate Anti Aging Elegant Beige (Medium)

Here is the comparison of shades, both either the Royal Ivory or Elegant Beige from two variants have the exact same shade, same texture, and same finish result. So you can just choose the variant you need, if you're still under 30 years old, I'd recommend you to use the Ultimate Whitening, and get the Ultimate Anti Aging if you're above 30 years old.

I usually take some amount of CC Cream on the back of my hand, and apply it all over my face using my clean fingers.

I was using the Ultimate Whitening (shade: Royal Ivory), as you can see it helps to even out skin tone even though it’s really sheer. If used regularly, it will lightens up blemishes, acne scar, and even out skin tone even more. It’s a good deal for those who are still recovering from acne scars.

The staying power is pretty good, however it doesn't have oil control so I need to blot throughout the day. But anyway, this CC Cream is easy to find at all drugstores and also very affordable! You don't need too much product as a little amount goes a long way :)
