Etude House Moistfull Super Collagen CC Cream

Etude House Moistfull Super Collagen CC Cream recently launched in Korea with the newest Moistfull Super Collagen Skincare products. This new Etude House CC Cream is available in two shade selections with an SPF 33 and a formula that contains 30% of “super collagen”.

Not only does the formula provide coverage but also incredible moisture as well according to Etude House!

Take a look!

Etude House Moistfull CC Cream

Etude House Moistfull Super Collagen CC Cream is a color correcting cream that contains “magic color capsules” that adjust to your natural skin tone. Interestingly enough I find the formula is more a BB Cream than a CC Cream formula as it isn’t a white base color adjusting formula like you’d find in formulas such as Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream. This comes in two shades that are already tinted and as far as I saw during application neither has adapts or changes upon being applied to the skin.

The formula is supposed to a rich, moisturizing texture that contains skin firming collagen so along with color correction it also whitens, brightens, and apparently is anti-aging.

It brightens skin quite nicely and provides sheer to medium coverage with a rich, creamy consistency. I find the texture isn’t nearly as moisturizing as I thought it would be. For something based off of Etude House’s popular Moistfull Collection I was disappointed as this isn’t exactly the hydrating experience I expected. Although a lovely texture I felt I struggled slightly with it as I blended and felt like I was tugging color around my face slightly! Once applied it leaves behind a flawless finish with a soft, satiny dry down. I do suggest applying a small amount and building slowly for the best finish as applying too much you’ll notice it gives a fairly in your face, “Hi how are you? I’m wearing makeup!” look. So build it slowly as you go! I find a tiny dot on each cheek blended out is all I need for my entire face. It does have a fairly heavy fresh floral fragrance that’s pleasant to my nose but could be too much for those sensitive to fragrance in their foundation products. I find it wears for around six hours before showing very, very minor signs of fading.

It would have been nicer if Etude House went the color adjusting route with Moistfull Super Collagen CC Cream. It would have also been helpful if the consistency was less thick, a little less creamy, and more hydrating as after all this is formulated for drier skin! I didn’t feel like it was actually all that moisturizing.

Overall, Etude House Moistfull Super Collagen CC Cream is an ok CC Cream but works and acts more like a BB Cream…! I’m not a massive fan of this one and could probably recommend safely skipping it if you already have a rotation of BB Creams you are currently using.

You can snag it on E-bay from F2Plus1.

    Muse, I love your website and reviews, but I don’t know if I can continue as a regular reader as long as every page has an auto-play video ad! It’s very annoying having to scroll and hunt every time I open a new link.

    • Isabella Muse

      Julia sorry about that I’m working I getting these blocked! apologies!

    Hi Muse, I tried this CC cream as well. I found the W13 shade to be darker than their W13 in Bright Fit BB cream. I have a sample of the N02 CC cream which is very much lighter in shade. I agree it’s not as moisturising and they should try to have different shades like their BB creams for a better match, (their new Skin-Fit Foundation also has just two shades and dries to a matt finish).

    • Isabella Muse

      I thought I was imagining things! The shade didn’t concern me much but the formula which is supposed to be a moistfull product isn’t all that moisturizing at all! did you kinda have to tug a bit to blend out or am I nuts?!

      • Ann

        No your not nuts! 🙂 Yeah I had to do some blending in as well. I was never quite happy with how it applied, too much product and it wasn’t good, very obvious. I thought maybe it was my base/moisturiser. A lot of the Korean reviews on their site mentioned it looked more like BB cream due to colour and consistency. The CC creams out there tend to have less coverage and some have colour changing capsules. This one is somewhere in the middle, not BB and not CC, BBCC hybrid? 😉

        • Isabella Muse

          exactly my thoughts! I concur. Too much and it was very obvious I had makeup on! Also the blending was just tugging. I mean the entire moistfull range is delightful and excellent for dry skin so you’d think they’d make this with more hydrating benefits? WTH? I think thus far my experience with Tony Moly CC Cream was the best…! That was white with the color changing capsules and it fit perfectly. However, they are now venturing more and more into products that simply resemble bb creams, I really don’t see the color correcting benefits here, this is more a fuller coverage BB. So confusing 😀

    Thank you so much for this review Isabella Muse! I was considering to purchase this product for it’s “moisturizing” qualities – but I would much rather prefer a product that gave a more natural looking finish without too much of a fragrance. Because facial skin products with strong fragrances makes me dizzy I will definitely be skipping this one 🙂

    • Isabella Muse

      my pleasure sara 🙂 I don’t blame you at all! there are plenty of other options out there!
