Coccoon Eternal Youth All in One Smart Cream + BB + CC + Photo Defense | Review, Swatch
August 24, 2017
The weather here in Bangalore has been gloomy and cloudy these past few days with occasional and unpredictable rain, which would have been really nice if you were on a holiday, not so much when you have daily chores that need to be done.
Anyway, as mentioned in my previous Vilvah Beautifying Serum review, from July 17 I have been using/testing Coccoon products. Coccoon belongs to the Em & Em Group that also owns the brand 'Iraa'. In this review, I will be sharing my experience with the Coccoon Eternal Youth All in One Smart Cream...

My Experience
The Eternal Youth cream is a multi-benefit smart cream that claims to provide the benefits of anti-ageing, BB (beauty balm), CC (color correction), and sun protection (SPF 30). It has extracts of kakadu plum and green tea which are known for their wonderful anti-oxidant properties.
The cream has a strong citrusy-floral scent which subsides after a while. The texture is thick, creamy and is (on its own) mildly moisturizing for dry skin; however applying a moisturizer suited to your skin type beforehand will help in spreading it better. It does give an initial whitish cast on my dusky skin but once absorbed and since it is sheer, skin looks glowy, dewy, and fresh. Please note that it is slow to spread only while applying but quick to get absorbed and settle down on your skin.

The smart cream is beige in color and provides sheer but buildable coverage which is quite good for a BB/CC cream. It looks like you have light makeup on and is a great option for office and college-goers (who don't mind the price) or for times or days when you don't need a full face of heavy makeup. Plus you get SPF 30 sun protection which is nice.
I will try to update this post with face pictures as soon as I can; till then you can check out the swatches below.

You need only a small amount of cream for each use. The swatch quantity in the above picture is good enough for my face and neck. I did go out in the sun with this on for short-duration errands, and I did not tan. I haven't tried it under harsh or long-duration sunlight yet.
I liked the overall effect it gives. It evens out the skin tone, and gives a nice, glowy finish. You could use it on its own, or under makeup. If you set it with a loose powder/pressed compact, it lasts well too. It is not meant to replace your foundation; your under-eye dark circles and blemishes will still need a concealer for complete coverage, if that is what you are looking for. I quite liked it for days/times when I don't want to apply foundation but still need some kind of coverage.

Overall Impression
Coccoon Eternal Youth Smart Cream is a good multi-benefit cream that gives your face a nice, glowy finish along with sun protection. I liked it as much as my favorite Lakme CC cream. I do wish the price was lower though, and it came in another darker shade as well. Do try it whenever you get a chance.

A friend of mine was looking to buy something like this. I'll share this post with her. The price doesn't look too high so I might even order it for myself too.
