[Innisfree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-brightening-gel-cream) has expanded its line for luxurious [tinted moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-tinted-fluid-sunscreen) to be more inclusive of men who are interested in the short and long term benefits of CC creams. The South Korea-based brand's male-specific line, FOREST, develops products for men's skin that are both protective and easy to use.

In addition to offering protection against the sun's harmful rays, this [3-in-1 cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garniers-vitamin-c-spf) matches a wearer's natural skin tone, camouflaging any imperfections with a light finish that eliminates the risk of appearing as though one is wearing makeup.

The deep moisturizing abilities of this cream, coupled with its anti-aging and complexion-healing properties, make it the perfect addition to any man's hygienic routine, offering the confidence that follows healthy looking skin, while maintaining a light and natural finish.
