DD cream? Yes, after all, I now tend to look for a light liquid foundation that gives a radiant skin and has natural ingredients. And now you find this kind of products under names like bb, cc, dd creams. So I wanted to try this tinted cream called Green people Age Defy SPF15 DD Tinted Moisturiser because it was among new products and also because I was looking to try something that would give me some sun protection along with age-defying properties.This is why the name is DD = Daily Defence.
The package is very minimal and “urban chic” as you can see from the photo. And very good for such product because is in a non-transparent package with a pump, so the product is even more protected from light.
I like its consistency which is a medium one when you spread it out, but when applied on the skin it gives a nice and thin layer. The coverage is light to medium, so it erases just small imperfections, but it leaves a nice, hydrating finish on the skin. Although the Light shades is meant for light tones, it’s a tiny bit too dark for my perception. So it can be too dark for light skin tones who uses usually an ivory or fair shades. Here you can see the swatch on my hand:
The good thing is that it has a neutral tonality with tendency on yellow, so it covers some redness. Regarding ingredients Green people says that the key ingredient are Sea Fennel stem cells that are a complete anti-ageing solution which stimulate cell renewal, brighten, firm, reduce age spots and deliver an instant moisture infusion. It’s definitely a product suitable for mature skin that needs protection and nourishment, without a heavy mask texture.
I apply the product with a foundation buffing brush so that it absorbs well with no strikes on the face. If you need additional coverage or matte effect you can dust a touch of mineral setting powder. In every case I like that the cream blends easy even when applied with fingers. The result is a hydrated and radiant skin.
I was very interested to try something from this brand since a long time and must say that I’m very surprised how they have evolved and added a make-up collection too.
Do you like this brand? Any thoughts about this DD cream?
