Kaya CC+ Cover Correct Complexion Perfector Cream | Review

One of Team Dancebee's favourite brands - Kaya entered the CC cream market with their new CC+ cover correct complexion perfector cream recently. With CC creams becoming a must have in almost every make up essentials kit, Kaya's CC cream aims at giving the consumer a natural glow and helps in blurring imperfections. We gave this new launch a try and after testing it for almost a month, here's what we think of this gorgeous black beauty, that promises to be packed with multiple skin benefits.

What? - Kaya CC+ Cover Correct Complexion Perfector Cream

What does it promise? - Kaya's all in one complexion perfecto cream gives you flawless glowing skin instantly by hiding imperfections. It not helps in improving the skin appearance, but also gives prolonged benefits with regular use. Some of the prominent benefits include - blurring imperfections, natural looking instant glow, brightens skin, blurs appearance of fine lines, evens skin tone, smoothens and hydrates the skin, protects from harmful UVA / UVB rays and free radicals.

Price: Rs 990  Quantity: 30ml  Shelf life: 2 years from the date of MFD

How to use? - Spread the cream to throughly cleansed face and neck, like your regular moisturiser. Massage gently onto skin in an upward and outward motion.

Texture and Fragrance: The texture is very creamy, yet not too heavy or greasy. Post application, it absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves a smooth finish. For those with extremely dry skin, you can blend this cc cream with your moisturiser and get excellent results. The fragrance is subtle, like most Kaya products. 

Packaging: The packaging of this product is hands down one of the best we have seen so far. The CC cream comes in a box package, where the black plastic pump bottle is housed. The pump bottle looks classy and chic. It is very light and easy to carry. The pump and plastic cap ensures that the product doesn't spill, making the bottle travel friendly and very convenient to carry around in a make up bag. Kaya has definitely nailed it in the packaging department!

Experience: We started using this product at a time when winter kept playing hide and seek. The climate was a mix of humid afternoons and breezy nights. Post cleansing, we used the CC+ complexion perfector cream with a basic moisturiser and the result was well hydrated, smooth skin. While the cream does not give you 100% coverage (so, you will have to use a concealer), it does add a natural glow that stays on for a good 4 -5 hours. We did not follow up with any compact powder, and still, the cream ensured that our face does not look patchy, stretchy or greasy. For those with combiation / oily skin, we suggest you use the CC+ cream directly, as it provides enough hydration.

Kaya's CC+ cream comes in just one standard shade, and fortunately, the shade did work well for us. Though, we are not too sure how it will look on warmer skin tones. Inclusion of SPF 25 with UVA / UVB benefits were definitely an added advantage. The packaging is definitely one of this product's biggest plus points, as it is convenient to carry and looks fancy. Just one pump is enough for one time application, so the product will last you for a good 4 - 5 months, depending on your usage. While most CC+ creams are priced in the range of Rs 300 - 600, the Kaya CC+ complexion perfector cream costs Rs 990, which might be a little on the expensive side. But if you are someone who is hunting for the right mix of hydration, natural glow, smooth skin and a very fancy bottle, look no further!

Pros: Hydrates and keeps your skin smooth

Adds a natural glow, which stays for 4 -5 hours

Evens out the skin tone very well

Comes with SPF 25, UVA / UVB benefits

Excellent Packaging

Travel friendly

Cons: Minimal coverage  

A bit on the expensive side

Verdict: So far, we have always had a great experience using Kaya products and this time, it's no different! For someone who does not use foundation and would like to add a natural glow on their skin, this is certainly your best bet. Plus, it is perfect for the ongoing winter season, as it hydrates your skin well and does not leave it feeling patchy or stretchy. If you don't mind shelling out Rs 990, then the Kaya CC+ cover correct complexion perfector cream is a good investment.
