Erborian, a French-Korean hybrid skincare brand known for its CC Cream, has expanded its United States retail presence with an in-store launch at Sephora. This announcement follows the brand's successful online debut on the retailer’s website in January.
Two of the French-Korean hybrid skincare brand's popular formulations will be available at Sephora — the CC Cream and CC Red Correct. Erborian's CC Cream is formulated with encapsulated pigment technology and Centella Asiatica extract. It offers light, flexible coverage, 24-hour hydration, and SPF 25, while the CC Red Correct features a green-tinted formula designed to neutralize the appearance of redness with buildable coverage and similar skincare benefits. Both products are positioned as hybrid skincare-makeup items that combine color correction with long-term skin improvement.
