Why DD Cream

In the 1960s, German dermatologist C. Schrammek designed a blemish balm (BB cream) for use by his patients following laser treatments and peeling therapies. This cream not only concealed redness and imperfections but also had a smoothing effect on the skin, providing protection.

Later on, from Germany to South Korea and then to countries across East Asia, Europe, and the United States, this product became well-known and sought-after worldwide. It started gaining recognition in Turkey around 2012.

BB creams provide coverage similar to foundation while protecting the skin. With the advantage of its moisturizing properties, BB cream provides a much more natural appearance compared to foundation, especially for acne and similar issues. It provides a corrective effect for such negative skin conditions. Additionally, it brightens the skin, revitalizes dull appearance, and some contain SPF for protection against the sun.

With the increasing popularity of BB creams, a newer technology known as CC creams (Color Correction) emerged to address uneven skin tones and provide correction. The main difference between CC creams and BB creams is that CC creams have a lighter texture that doesn’t weigh down the skin like foundation. They also focus on brightening and whitening the skin. In addition, CC creams share similarities with BB creams in other aspects.

Finally, DD (Daily Defense or Double Defense) creams, gaining recognition, encompass all the effects of BB and CC creams while additionally offering anti-aging benefits and corrective action for skin spots.

The relatively uncommon DD cream, formulated by Ceres Dermocosmetics, holds the distinction of being a pioneer in Turkey. Similar to BB and CC creams, DD creams are suitable for use on their own, providing benefits such as evening out skin tone, moisturizing, providing broad-spectrum high sun protection, and additionally offering anti-aging and skin spot reducing effects. They can also be used as makeup primers. Due to their lower pigment concentration compared to foundations, DD creams do not create a heavy feeling on the skin. Ceres Double Defense Cream SPF 45 helps control the formation of melanin, which causes skin spots, thanks to its Arbutin and vitamin complex. It helps prevent hyperpigmentation and maintain the skin’s natural color. Additionally, it provides anti-aging effects through Beta Glucan and antioxidants, promoting skin cell renewal. Ceres Double Defense Cream SPF 45, designed for daily use, will be a great ally for those who want to achieve natural beauty without makeup.
