Erborian CC Water 40ml – Fresh Complexion Aqua Gel with Centella Asiatica & Hyaluronic Acid

Achieve naturally luminous, hydrated skin with Erborian CC Water, a hybrid innovation that merges the best of Korean skincare and makeup. This ultra-fresh, water-based gel formula delivers lightweight coverage, long-lasting hydration, and a dewy finish that enhances your natural glow. Infused with Centella Asiatica and Hyaluronic Acid, it instantly evens out skin tone while keeping your complexion supple, smooth, and refreshed throughout the day.

What Is Erborian CC Water?

Winner of the Silver Medal in the 2022 Beauty Bible Awards, Erborian CC Water redefines what a complexion enhancer can be. It’s a clear aqua gel packed with encapsulated pigments that transform upon contact with the skin, adapting seamlessly to your tone and leaving behind a natural, radiant glow.

Unlike traditional tinted creams, this water-gel texture feels incredibly fresh and light — providing a bare-skin effect with a luminous, dewy finish. Ideal for those who prefer natural coverage and a weightless feel, CC Water is the perfect balance between skincare and makeup.

Makeup and Skincare in One Step

Erborian CC Water isn’t just makeup — it’s skincare first. Its formula combines hydrating and soothing ingredients inspired by traditional Korean beauty rituals:

• Centella Asiatica (Tiger Grass): Known for its ability to calm, repair, and strengthen the skin barrier, Centella also supports elasticity and firmness.
• Hyaluronic Acid: A naturally derived molecule that binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, ensuring deep, long-lasting hydration and a visibly plump complexion.
• Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, maintaining softness and comfort all day long.

Together, these actives help to smooth, refresh, and brighten the complexion, making CC Water the perfect choice for dull, dehydrated, or tired-looking skin.

Who Is It For?

Erborian CC Water is designed for anyone seeking a hydrated, radiant, and even complexion without the heaviness of traditional foundations.

It’s especially suitable for:

• Normal to combination skin types
• Those who prefer a fresh, non-oily, non-sticky texture
• Fans of “no-makeup makeup” looks
• Individuals with sensitive or easily irritated skin, thanks to its gentle, silicone-free formula

Its versatility makes it ideal for everyday wear, whether as a standalone complexion perfector or as part of a more complete beauty routine.

A Fresh, Dewy Finish

What sets Erborian CC Water apart is its innovative sensorial texture — a lightweight aqua gel that instantly cools the skin on application. The encapsulated pigments burst upon contact, adapting to your natural skin tone for a sheer wash of color that blurs imperfections and evens out texture.

The result?

• A luminous “glass-skin” effect
• Skin that feels hydrated for hours
• A naturally radiant glow with no greasiness

Unlike some complexion enhancers, CC Water is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It’s also dermatologically tested and formulated without silicones, ensuring maximum comfort and compatibility with sensitive skin.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Centella Asiatica (Tiger Herb)

• Soothes and calms the skin, reducing redness and irritation.
• Improves firmness and elasticity over time.
• Supports skin regeneration and barrier repair.

Hyaluronic Acid

• Provides immediate and deep hydration.
• Helps retain moisture in the skin for a plump, youthful appearance.
• Smooths fine dehydration lines, leaving skin soft and supple.

Glycerin

• Maintains the skin’s moisture balance and protects it from dryness.
• Enhances the skin’s softness and luminosity.

Additional ingredients such as corn starch and silica help to blur imperfections, while natural pigments deliver an even, glowing finish without heaviness.

How to Use Erborian CC Water

1. Apply in the morning as the final step in your skincare routine.
2. Warm a small amount between your fingertips and apply to the face, blending the pigments evenly from the center outward.
3. For best results, use your fingers — the warmth of your skin helps the pigments adapt perfectly to your complexion.
4. Always apply your usual SPF before CC Water for proper sun protection.

Pro tip: For extra hydration, apply after Erborian Milk & Peel Balm or your favorite serum. Use it as a makeup base or a standalone product for a healthy, radiant glow.

Shade Selection

Is available in multiple shades to suit every skin tone:

• Clair – fair skin with pink undertones
• Doré – light tan to medium skin
• Caramel – deep skin tones
• Chocolat – rich, dark skin tones

CC Cream vs. CC Water – What’s the Difference?

Both belong to Erborian’s iconic complexion-perfecting range but offer distinct experiences:

• CC Cream: Enriched with Centella Asiatica and SPF25, it provides moderate coverage and a natural matte finish — perfect for those seeking light correction and sun protection in one step.
• CC Water: With Centella and Hyaluronic Acid, it delivers sheer, luminous coverage and intense hydration — ideal for those who prefer a fresh, dewy, “bare skin” effect.

In essence, CC Cream is makeup with skincare benefits, while CC Water is skincare that beautifies like makeup.

Recommended Routine for Radiant Skin

To achieve the most luminous, even complexion, incorporate Erborian CC Water into your daily Korean-inspired skincare routine:

1. Cleanse: Start with Milk & Peel Balm to gently exfoliate and smooth the skin.
2. Hydrate: Apply your serum or a light moisturizer such as Erborian Bamboo Crème Frappée.
3. Perfect: Use Erborian CC Water as your complexion finisher for a radiant glow.
4. Enhance: Pair with Erborian CC Eye Clair for brightened under-eyes.

This routine brings out your skin’s natural radiance while maintaining hydration, smoothness, and comfort all day long.
