Difference between BB and CC Creams:
It saves you from the hazard of applying moisturizer followed by primer, sunscreen and foundation. That's why we love it: it looks natural, protects skin and saves time! It gives you a very light and natural coverage.
On the other hand CC stands for color correcting. CC creams are made to cover dark spots, scars or uneven skin tone and even swelling. They also come with some skin-care benefits like sun screen and moisturizer but the focus is on 'even skin tone'.

Top 5 CC Creams:

Tinted Moisturizer :
It can also be called 'colored moisturizer'. It is just a moisturizer with some color or foundation. If you are not comfortable wearing heavy foundations, it is perfect for you. It not only moisturizes your skin but also gives you bright but natural looking complexion. However it does not provide you a sold coverage like a foundation. It does not hides blemishes, dark spots or imperfections.
If, your skin isn't evenly toned or you have dark spots, go for a CC cream. It will make your complexion look even with all the benefits of BB cream. A little heavier than BB cream but lighter than a foundation.
lastly, if you want perfect and pro coverage, go for a foundation!
P.S Try using a primer before putting on your foundation. I'll try to write more on selecting best foundation for your skin type and color.

BB stands for beauty balm. BB cream was invented to provide "all in one". It's one of the hottest beauty trends these days. So basically, BB cream is one cream that serves the purposes of 6 different products/creams : moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, foundation, concealer and skin treatment.

Which One is Best for Me?
Good news is that no matter what your skin type or your color is, they all comes in for all skin types! Depending on skin and your foundation goals, you have to decide whether you want a BB,CC cream, foundation or a tinted moisturizer. Here are some suggestions for you.
If, your skin even-toned, you don't have any imperfections or blemishes or scars and you want a light and natural look, go for a BB cream or a tinted moisturizers. I always prefer BB cream over tinted moisturizer. It not only gives a very natural glow, but also protect your skin and moisturize it at the same time without making you feel like you are wearing a heavy foundation on your face.
If, your skin isn't evenly toned or you have dark spots, go for a CC cream. It will make your complexion look even with all the benefits of BB cream. A little heavier than BB cream but lighter than a foundation.
lastly, if you want perfect and pro coverage, go for a foundation!
