Osmosis Colour CC Cream with Japanese Peppers & Reflective Lifting Technology is a new product introduced this fall. This CC cream is designed to provide natural, lightweight color correcting coverage with skin-tightening, lifting and brightening benefits.
As one of the most scientifically advanced skincare lines, the magic behind the Osmosis Colour CC cream lies in True Tone Technology and exclusive Light Lifting Effects. According to Osmosis, True Tone Technology features natural makeup encapsulated in micro-capsules that burst to provide perfect pigments that transform into your own skin tone when applied. The cream’s formula is then enhanced with Light Lifting Effects which diffuse skin discoloration while giving the enhanced appearance of a brighter, more youthful complexion.
Product Highlights
Titanium Dioxide: Excellent natural UV protection with light reflective benefits. The reflective qualities create the effect of brightening and lifting of the skin’s appearance.
Zanthoxylum Piperitum (Japanese Pepper) Fruit Extract: Source of antioxidants which are essential in preventing and repairing damaged tissue by slowing down the effect of free radicals on the skin.
Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract: A natural anti-bacterial agent, a potent anti-microbial and anti-fungal agent with anti-biotic and anti-inflammatory benefits.
For my daily purposes, I am simply looking for a BB or CC Cream that I can apply quickly, looks natural and helps me get on with my day….and this new CC cream fits the bill perfectly!
This CC cream is actually a self-adjusting formula, available in 4 shades (Ivory, Warm, Neutral & Mocha). It comes out of the tube as a white cream with tiny beads but then as you apply it to your skin, the formula matches to your skin tone accordingly. I tried the shade Neutral which was a great match for my warm, medium (NC 25ish) skintone. It has a lightweight, creamy texture that blends very easily and sets to a saitny-smooth matte finish, and just as described also brightens up dull skin instantly. There is no noticeable scent.

The coverage is light to medium but easy to build up. It does a great job of evening out my skintone taking care of most imperfections, but because of my acne scars/discoloration, sometimes I use a concealer to add more coverage if needed. Overall, it makes my complexion look smooth and even-toned with a very natural-looking finish. Just perfect for everyday! Another thing that I like is that even with my normal to dry skin, I don’t really need a moisturizer before using this CC cream as it does not accentuate any dry patches, The formula offers a light dose of moisture but isn’t heavy or greasy feeling and stays matte all day. However, now that winter is just around the corner, I will most probably need to moisturize my skin first.
Here’s me wearing the Osmosis Colour CC Cream and just a little lipgloss, no concealer or any other makeup.
Bottom Line
Overall, I am quite pleased with the Osmosis Colour CC Cream. This product has a natural, second-skin like finish that would be welcomed by almost all skin types. So if you are on the hunt for an everyday, one-step complexion enhancing product with skincare benefits to boot, this CC cream is definitely worth checking out!
