The world of skincare has been revolutionised by Korean beauty products, and BB creams are part of that. Erborian stands out as a frontrunner in this domain, selling a BB cream every 28 seconds and holding the top spot in the BB and CC cream category. But Erborian’s magic lies not just in popularity, but in the variety and effectiveness of its BB creams. Here’s everything you need to know about its hero products and why they’re adored by beauty lovers and experts alike. Scroll to pick the perfect one for your skin.
BB Cream: The Iconic “Baby Skin” Finish

Renee Washington, digital fashion and beauty assistant said, 'I use the Chocolat shade in Erborian’s BB Cream, and honestly, I wasn’t a huge fan of BB creams in general. But this one? It just enhances my skin. It feels lightweight, evens out my complexion beautifully, doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all, and the fact that it has SPF built in is a major plus.'
CC Cream: The Even-Tone Glow
Think of Erborian’s BB cream as your everyday ‘perfect skin’ filter, providing a natural, even canvas, while the CC creams are like targeted colour correctors for specific concerns like redness or unevenness, offering a more customised approach to enhancing your complexion. The lightweight texture is perfect for a no-makeup makeup day, but it also layers beautifully under foundation.
Why we love it:
-
Blurs imperfections and even out skin tone.
-
Enriched with Centella Asiatica to soothe and nourish.
-
SPF 25 for everyday sun protection.

Sameeha Shaik, beauty writer said 'If you're looking for an every day, no-fuss solution to a perfect base, look no further than this. It is far thicker than its Water sister - yet still super breathable - and quickly evens out my post-inflammation hyperpigmentation with a luminous, buildable coverage. It comes out white, but again, the unique formula's encapsulated pigments change colour as you begin to rub it in, and leaves me with a natural, second-skin, satin finish. In a word: Obsessed.'
CC Red Correct: The Anti-Redness Fix
For redness-prone skin, Erborian’s CC Red Correct is a must-have. This 2-in-1 formula neutralises redness while soothing sensitive skin, leaving your skin tone even and soothed. Use it as an all-over base, focus on specific red areas, or layer it under BB or CC Cream.
Why we love it:
-
Neutralises red patches with its colour-correcting pigments.
-
Enriched with Centella Asiatica for a calming effect.
-
SPF 25 protects while it perfects.

Sameeha Shaik, beauty writer said, 'My first foray into the world of CC creams was byway of Erborian's CC Water. And boy was it an introduction. Unlike any base product I've ever tried, its uber-lightweight, watery, gel-like texture runs clear (aside from the encapsulated pigments that morph into colour when in contact with skin) somehow manages to leave me with a long-lasting dewy, light coverage that works incredibly well in summertime. Expect glow-giving, healthy-looking, plump skin.'
