CC Cream Shade Light

t’s not necessary!
The Sensidiane® AR+ CC Cream SPF30 replaces your daily moisturizer by hydrating and soothing your skin, while also acting as a foundation thanks to its light shade and long-lasting coverage.

The Sensidiane AR+ CC Cream SPF30, Light Shade can be used from 15 years of age.

In Sensidiane AR+, the abbreviation “AR” stands for Anti-Redness, reflecting the main goal of the range: soothing the skin and reducing persistent redness.

The “+” represents the addition of hyaluronic acid, an active ingredient that completes the formula by providing long-lasting hydration and helping the skin better defend itself against everyday irritants.

Calmactiv is derived from Centella asiatica – also known as Gotu Kola or Tiger Grass – a plant long recognized for its soothing and reparative properties, and now extensively studied for its benefits in managing redness.

This ingredient works on multiple levels:

• Soothes discomfort and visibly reduces redness.

• Supports the resilience of blood capillaries and protects the extracellular matrix by limiting collagen degradation.

• Inhibits key processes associated with chronic redness, such as the formation of new microvessels and excessive vasodilation.

Thanks to Calmactiv, the Sensidiane AR+ CC Cream SPF30, Light Shade not only targets visible signs but also addresses the underlying mechanisms that maintain redness, while remaining fully suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.

Demodex folliculorum is a tiny mite that naturally lives in the pores of the skin. In some people with rosacea, it can multiply abnormally, leading to an inflammatory response. This overgrowth exacerbates rosacea symptoms, such as redness, small bumps, and sensations of irritation.

The Sensidiane AR+ CC Cream SPF30, Light Shade is a soothing corrective care designed for sensitive, redness-prone, or couperose-prone skin. It provides a triple action:

• Corrects and evens out the complexion with mineral pigments suited for light skin tones.

• Soothes and reduces redness with targeted anti-redness active ingredients.

• Protects against the sun with SPF30, essential for limiting the worsening of redness caused by UV exposure.

A CC cream (short for Color Control or Corrective Care) is a multifunctional skincare product that hydrates, protects the skin, and evens out the complexion. Unlike a BB cream, which provides more coverage, a CC cream primarily targets redness, uneven skin tone, or sensitive skin.

Couperose, often associated with rosacea, appears as small blood vessels visible on the surface of the skin, mainly on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead. These telangiectasias remain permanently dilated and are often accompanied by redness, tingling, or a sensation of warmth.

In more pronounced cases of rosacea, bumps, papules, or pustules may also appear, forming what is known as rosacea-associated acne.

This condition can be influenced by various factors, including genetics, vascular fragility, temperature changes, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy foods, or stress. While it is not dangerous, it can cause lasting discomfort. Using appropriate skincare, such as the Sensidiane AR+ range, helps soothe the skin and reduce the appearance of redness.

It is especially important to protect the skin from the sun when you have couperose, because UV rays are a major aggravating factor. Sun exposure promotes dilation of the blood vessels, increasing redness and the visibility of telangiectasias. It can also weaken the skin barrier, increase inflammation, and accelerate the fragility of already sensitive capillaries.

Even on cloudy days or in winter, using an appropriate sunscreen helps prevent worsening redness, limits irritation, and preserves overall skin health. Applying a daily product with a sun filter suitable for sensitive skin, such as those in the Sensidiane AR+ range, is therefore an essential step for skin prone to couperose or rosacea.

Yes, the Sensidiane AR+ CC Cream SPF30 is specially designed for sensitive, redness-prone skin. Thanks to Pure Color HD technology, it visually corrects redness and evens out the complexion of light skin tones.

Clinical results confirm its coverage: 95% of volunteers reported long-lasting wear, and 91% observed effective coverage of imperfections, resulting in a more uniform and comfortable complexion throughout the day.

In addition to its corrective action, it provides SPF30 sun protection, which is essential to prevent worsening of redness caused by UV exposure.

To select a suitable anti‑redness cream, first identify your skin type (dry, combination, oily) and look for soothing active ingredients such as Centella asiatica, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid, which help boost the skin’s natural hydration, strengthen the barrier, and reduce inflammation. Prefer formulas that are fragrance-free, paraben-free, allergen-free, and dermatologically tested.

Also, choose a texture adapted to your skin type: light for oily skin, richer for dry skin. Integrated sun protection (at least SPF30) is essential to prevent redness from worsening due to UV exposure.

If you wear makeup, opt for a coverage cream specifically designed for sensitive, redness-prone skin, such as Sensidiane AR+ CC Cream SPF30, Light Shade.

Key criteria for an anti-redness cream:

• Star actives: Centella asiatica, niacinamide, soothing complexes like Calmactiv, Azelacalm (a well-tolerated azelaic acid derivative), or Neutrazen by Noreva (a biomimetic soothing active).

• Texture and tolerance: Non-comedogenic, non-greasy; test on a small area first to avoid irritation.

• Proven efficacy: Choose products targeting rosacea, couperose, or reactive skin, ideally with SPF for daily use.

Usage tips:

• Apply morning and evening on clean skin, after a hydrating serum, massaging gently with fingertips to stimulate circulation without irritation.

• Follow a gentle skincare routine (micellar cleanser, moisturizer) and avoid sudden temperature changes or friction.

• Consult a dermatologist if redness persists for a precise diagnosis and treatment plan.

To reduce visible red vessels on the face (often associated with couperose or rosacea), adopt a gentle skincare routine with vasoprotective actives such as Centella asiatica or Noreva’s RPP2 complex, which strengthen vessel walls and their structure to reduce permeability and help prevent redness over time. Protect your skin daily from UV exposure with a minimum SPF 30, suitable for sensitive skin. Avoid extreme temperatures, alcohol, and spicy foods, which can dilate blood vessels.

Favor soothing actives like Noreva’s Neutrazen™ Pro (a calming biomimetic peptide combined with a protective phytobioactive), azelaic acid, or niacinamide (vitamin B3).

Daily routine:

• Cleanse with a milk or cleansing oil free from harsh surfactants (SLS/SLES), such as Sensidiane Soothing Cleansing Gel, Sensidiane Soothing Micellar Water, or Sensidiane Soothing Cleansing Oil.

• Apply an anti-redness cream enriched with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and vascular-repairing actives to restore the skin barrier and reduce the visibility of capillaries.

You shouldn’t choose just any cream when you have rosacea, as it makes your skin hypersensitive to irritants such as alcohol, fragrances, or oily ingredients, which aggravate redness, inflammation, and visible blood vessels instead of soothing them. An unsuitable cream can clog pores, cause flare-ups, or accentuate dryness, making makeup ineffective and uncomfortable.

The best option: a soothing, corrective, and covering treatment with sun protection

Opt for a high-tolerance, multifunctional treatment that combines redness correction, adjustable coverage, and SPF 30+ to protect against aggravating UV rays. Sensidiane AR+ CC Cream SPF30 Light Shade by Noreva, for example, combines soothing and corrective action and uses Pure Color HD technology with encapsulated pigments for even coverage and a natural complexion. These fluid formulas enriched with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or centella asiatica even out the complexion while protecting the skin barrier.
