IT Cosmetics CC Cream Allergy?

Boston513 — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 02:07:15 GMT

I love the IT CC cream with spf coverage. However, I started having all the symptoms of an allergy (runny nose, etc). I got the inkling that maybe there is something in the cc cream that I am allergic to because I used another foundation today and the symptoms stopped.

I am interested to learn if anyone else has had this experience? I love the coverage and the everything about this cc cream. I know that anyone can be allergic to anything at any time, so it would not totally surprise me.

Have a blessed Christmas. Christ died so that we may be born again. Amen!

Just bumping this up so more might see it. I don't wear it so haven't been paying attention to the threads, but it sure sounds as though the CC might be the culprit in your case. That's too bad -- I know many of you really like it a lot.

I haven't heard/read of this type of reaction. Not that I'm saying it is totally out of the question, but I think if there was a reaction it would be more along the lines of itching, redness, or breakouts. Yet, anything is possible. There's a pretty big ingredient deck for the product. I guess the only way you would truly know with certainty would be to have yourself tested. I wonder if it would make a difference, if you used a separate primer first?

Boston, usually if you're actually allergic to a topical substance, you would, as another poster pointed out, have a reaction on the skin -- rash, itching, hives, something like that.

Is there any fragrance in this product? If so, it's slightly possible that you are experiencing a sensitivity to it.

I suffer from what is labeled "non-allergic rhinitis," which simply means that although I test negative to all allergens, I react (runny nose, stuffiness) to certain triggers, one of which can be fragrance or some scent (also, chemical fumes). When it's bad, it's very, very bad.

I can't use IT due to the Snail Secretion. I am allergic to all shellfish, and that includes snails, clams...etc. My Dr. said No Way.

My skin had a bad reaction to this. I think it was one or more of the essential oils in there. I’m guessing the citrus

Hi. Did you use the "report inappropriate" to let the Mods know? Otherwise they won't know.

I don't want to add another report if you already submitted one.

I've used it for years and never had a problem with it. Maybe some ingredient for some reason has now started to bother you.
