There is BB cream, CC cream, and DD cream, and now you might be wondering what EE cream is. You might be asking what the differences are between all of the double-lettered names and what they actually do. At the same time, you are likely familiar with BB cream and CC cream but might not know much about EE cream.

Don't worry, we're here to break down everything we know about EE creams. We're happy to share our knowledge about EE creams, so you can determine if they are worth adding to your routine. 

What is an EE cream? 

The "EE" in EE cream stands for extra exfoliation. It is a cream that helps give your skin extra exfoliation and aids in the removal of dead skin cells. According to NakedPoppy.com, in addition to dealing with dead skin cells, it also moisturizes your skin. 

EE creams have been around for quite some time, but they first started to make waves in the beauty space in 2014-2015, when Estée Lauder released its own version of the product called Enlighten EE Even Effect Skintone Corrector EE Creme SPF 30. It has since been discontinued, but it was basically an one-in-all product that could give your skin a tint, hydrate, smoothe, and help minimize dark spots, pores, and redness 

The most significant difference between EE creams and the other double-lettered creams is that this product is more like skincare than makeup. 

Benefits 

This product exfoliates skin and helps target hyperpigmentation and redness while protecting skin from UV rays. The cream can also help correct color. 

According to Foxywears.com, EE creams have a super creamy texture and often contain ingredients from marine plants. 

It is also worth noting that EE creams often offer anti-aging benefits.  

How to Use

Various websites report that you can add EE cream to your cleanser to boost its effectiveness. They should be used as part of your skincare routine but should not be used every day, according to 100percentpure.com. 

However, there is a ton of mixed information on using these products. Some versions of the product are safe to be worn just simply as color correctors. We recommend checking the bottle of the product to find out what the best way to use it is.
