An Alphabet Creams Timeline & The 411 on DD Creams

The 411 on DD Creams



While the beauty industry is speeding through alphabet creams quicker than a toddler singing their ABC’s, even beauty junkies need to pause and absorb all these new complexion perfection products. Before we dive in to DD creams, let’s recap our ABC’s of moisturizers. 

Before beauty balms, we lived off tinted moisturizers and foundations. For those who don’t like the heavy consistency of foundations, tinted moisturizers offered a much lighter version. While they didn’t really do much in terms of coverage, they were a great alternative when it came to evening out skin tone and sun protection. 

Then the miraculous BB cream arrived. Commonly known as a tinted moisturizer on steroids, beauty balms promised more coverage while leaving a luminous finish. This is ideal for those who don’t like to wear makeup or stick to a simple routine. 

After many had jumped on the BB cream bandwagon, out popped what beauty experts called the next best thing—CC creams. Known as the “color correcting” cream, the next tube sensation offers a lighter version of BB creams while covering dark spots, acne or dull skin. CC creams are a lifesaver for those with acne prone skin or those who have an uneven skin tone. 

Just when we thought alphabet creams had reached their prime, the unthinkable happened—one beauty brand decided to take it one step further with the DD cream. Julep developed the first DD cream, which stand for “dynamic do-all,” a hybrid of the BB and CC cream but pushes it further with ingredients that will prime and protect instantly and over time. While we haven’t tried this new DD cream, we’re certainly curious to see if it lives up to its hype.
