BB Creams
What it stands for: Beauty balm
Texture: Creamy and moisturizing
What it does: Offers daily sun protection, extra hydration, and a touch more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. Because they don't have a high concentration of anti-aging ingredients, "use them as a supplement—not in place of—your other anti-aging creams or serums," says cosmetic chemist Ni'kita Wilson.

CC Creams
What it stands for: Color correcting
Texture: Lightweight and fast-absorbing
What it does: Imparts an airy veil of coverage and a boost of both instant and protective coverage. "They typically have light-diffusing particles, which visually even skin tone, plus a super-dose of antioxidants," says Francesca Fusco, M.D, a New York City-based dermatologist.
Most CC cream contains mineral pigments to blur imperfections. It also packs free radical fighters like green tea and vitamins C and E to keep your skin sunspot- and wrinkle-free.

DD Creams
What it stands for: Daily defense/Dynamic do all
Texture: See BB Creams
What it does: Not much more than its predecessors. "These have SPF, protect the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss, and balance uneventone," says Fusco. Overseas, though, DDs were created for dry areas like feet, knees, and elbows.
