In the case of IT cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima, her story is firmly in the necessity camp.<\/p>\n<p>This former television anchor was often at work at midnight to prep for the morning news, and she needed a foundation that would be long lasting and cover up her rosacea- all under the harsh glare of studio lights and unforgiving HD television.<\/p>\n<p>Lima felt she couldn\u2019t find a product that suited her needs, so she decided to create her own makeup. The result was Innovative Technology Cosmetics. A turning point for Lima was when she appeared on QVC in 2010 to demonstrate Bye Bye Under Eye, a concealer that some users also applied as a foundation. It covered so well that it could even cover tattoos. The product sold out in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Today the company has been renamed IT Cosmetics and was bought by L\u2019Or\u00e9al in 2016 for $1.2 billion. Here\u2019s a closer look at IT Cosmetics, what it sells, and are the products right for you?<\/p>\n<h2>Is IT Cosmetics Skincare Worth The Money?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. \\n\\nIn our opinion, _ products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value. \\n\\nOne brand is Carrot &amp; Stick, a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science-\\n\\nCarrot &amp; Stick intro bundles deliver great value for money because you can bundle 3 full size products worth up to $240 for $88. &quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1311489,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;21&quot;:0,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:0}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:194,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;9&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:209}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:452,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;7&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:457}\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:194,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.carrotstick.com\/products\/&quot;}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:209}\">A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. \\n\\nIn our opinion, _ products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value. \\n\\nOne brand is Carrot &amp; Stick, a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science-\\n\\nCarrot &amp; Stick intro bundles deliver great value for money because you can bundle 3 full size products worth up to $240 for $88. &quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1311489,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;21&quot;:0,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:0}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:194,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;9&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:209}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:452,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;7&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:457}\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:194,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.carrotstick.com\/products\/&quot;}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:209}\">In our opinion, IT Cosmetics products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;A common question about this brand is if the products are worth the cost. \\n\\nIn our opinion, _ products are worth the money, but there are other brands that deliver greater value. \\n\\nOne brand is Carrot &amp; Stick, a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science-\\n\\nCarrot &amp; Stick intro bundles deliver great value for money because you can bundle 3 full size products worth up to $240 for $88. &quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1311489,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;21&quot;:0,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-textstyleruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:0}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:194,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;9&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:209}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:452,&quot;2&quot;:{&quot;7&quot;:1}}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:457}\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns=\"{&quot;1&quot;:194,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.carrotstick.com\/products\/&quot;}\uee10{&quot;1&quot;:209}\">One brand is\u00a0<a class=\"in-cell-link\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carrotstick.com\/products\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Carrot &amp; Stick,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0a clean skincare brand that perfectly balances the gentle nurturing of plants with the powerful results of innovative science.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What\u2019s Inside IT Cosmetics?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a closer look at the active ingredients commonly used in the IT Cosmetics skincare products. Vitamin C, peptides, and retinol make up the core ingredients for the IT Cosmetics skincare line. These ingredients should all be part of your skincare routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><b>Vitamin C<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. It\u2019s a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s in IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Dullness Vitamin C Serum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>But our favorite Vitamin C serum is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carrotstick.com\/product\/the-defense-serum\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carrot &amp; Stick The Defence Serum<\/a>. It contains 3 distinct types of Vitamin C that work together to help fight free radical damage. We recommend using it every morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><b>Peptides<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you age, your body\u2019s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin&#8217;s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That&#8217;s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won&#8217;t provide the anti-aging benefits you&#8217;re looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where peptides come into action. Peptides are the building blocks of protein, and they are easily absorbed into the deeper layers of skin due to their smaller size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream is an anti-aging peptide eye cream that contains a peptide concentrate to smooth and firm the skin around the eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a peptide serum, we recommend <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carrotstick.com\/product\/the-repair-serum\/?_ga=2.13888631.1767576664.1668473120-405994523.1664560485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carrot &amp; Stick The Repair Serum<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It contains 7 plant-based peptides to promote plumper and smoother-looking skin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><b>Retinol<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. It\u2019s clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only downside? Retinol can often lead to side effects like skin dryness, peeling, and irritation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s in IT Cosmetics Hello Results Wrinkle-Reducing Daily Retinol Serum-in-Cream. Use retinoids at night. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/carrotstick.com\/collections\/best-sellers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carrot &amp; Stick The Retinol Serum.<\/a> <strong><\/strong><span>This formula contains a next-generation retinol complex and potent antioxidants to help reduce visible signs of aging and damage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Is IT Cosmetics?<\/h2>\n<p>IT Cosmetics is a relatively new brand that sells a full range of skincare products as well as makeup.

In infomercials as well as appearances on QVC and HSN, Lima and her team of \u201cIT girls\u201d will take off all their makeup to show viewers their dark circles, acne or uneven skin tone and then apply IT Cosmetics products to demonstrate how well the products cover up skin concerns.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does IT Cosmetics Sell?<\/h2>\n<p>It Cosmetics is best known for its full coverage foundations but the company also sells skincare products.

That said, IT Cosmetics certainly has its fair share of devoted followers. According to the company, its Confidence in a Cream Moisturizer is the number one anti-aging facial moisturizer in the US based on NPD units for 2018, and Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50 was also the top CC cream from 2016-2018. IT Cosmetics has over 150 beauty industry awards, along with press mentions in magazines including Allure, New Beauty, People, Marie Claire, Shape and more.<\/p>\n<p>But what do actual people say about the products?<\/p>\n<p>On Sephora\u2019s website, the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50 has over 190,000 \u201cloves\u201d and gets a four star rating from over 3,000 reviews. Over 1600 people gave it five stars, with feedback such as \u201cthis is my all time favorite foundation. It&#8217;s hydrating, provides medium natural-looking coverage, has benefits in the formula AND sunblock. Seriously, the perfect foundation. I&#8217;m 35 years old and have been using this for years\u201d and \u201cI love this product and I am on my second tube. It&#8217;s moisturizing, refreshing and just makes your skin look bright, but without looking oily. It smells SO GOOD!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chief complaint of people who were not fans said that the product caked on their skin or left dry patches. \u201cTotally settled into my fine lines, and not a smooth even application, very streaky. I&#8217;ve tried, and returned so many of their products. I guess it&#8217;s just not a compatible brand for my skin.\u201d Other users said it was too oily for their face- \u201cPlease don\u2019t get this! It was such a waste of money. The coverage is awful, &amp; all day my face has looked terribly oily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vlogger KathleenLights tried out the Bye Bye Foundation cream and said it was dewy and provided great coverage, and liked that it didn\u2019t cake around her mouth and nostrils. She recommended applying a primer first as she thought the product settled into her face, and noted that the foundation didn\u2019t last all day \u2013 she said it lasted for about five hours.<\/p>\n<p>Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer gets over 10,000 loves on Sephora and a 4.4 star rating from nearly 200 reviews. Most reviewers said that it provided full coverage and a little product goes a long way. \u201cThis concealer has very good coverage, lasts all day and looks natural not cakey, it does not settle into fine lines and it does not need a setting powder so you don&#8217;t get that dry look like when using a powder.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Some Alternatives to IT Cosmetics?<\/h2>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;If you\u2019re looking for skincare products to address the signs of aging, we recommend Carrot &amp; Stick.
