Better Than a BB Cream: Colour Glow, Your Custom Complexion in One Drop

An even, luminous, custom complexion — without giving up your day cream or your sun protection.

In short

BB creams promise the all-in-one, but often at the cost of your skincare. Tinted SPFs protect, but in a handful of shades. Colour Glow, the 100% mineral pigment concentrate from Laboratoire Dr Renaud, turns your existing routine into a tinted one — without replacing a thing. A few drops mixed into your day cream or your sunscreen, and the complexion evens out, lights up, holds its glow.

The quiet comeback of the "barely there" complexion

BB creams have ruled the search bar since 2010. But in 2026, a new obsession has joined them: tinted SPF. Why? Because two things clicked. First: no one skips sun protection anymore — not in autumn, not at the office. Second: the flat matte foundation of the 2010s gave way to a living complexion, where skin still looks like skin.

The catch? You usually have to choose between skincare, sun protection and colour. Unless you know Colour Glow.

Colour Glow, the pigment concentrate that turns any day cream into a tinted version

Colour Glow, the booster that transforms your routine

Colour Glow is a 100% mineral, universal pigment concentrate that blends drop by drop into any day cream or sunscreen to convert it into a tinted version. Not a foundation, not a BB cream: a complexion activator you dose yourself, depending on the season, your skin tone and the glow you're after.

The result: an even complexion, an instant healthy-look effect, and zero compromise on the benefits of your usual skincare.

BB cream vs Colour Glow: the head-to-head

One texture vs every texture

BB creams were designed for so-called "normal" skin. On dry skin, they pull; on oily skin, they shine; on reactive or rosacea-prone skin, they can irritate. Colour Glow blends into your day cream — the one that matches your skin type and your concerns exactly.

A generalist treatment vs your targeted one

A BB cream treats very superficially, and using one often means giving up the precise actives in your day cream. With Colour Glow, you keep your anti-ageing, hydrating, soothing or plumping treatment intact — it simply gains a touch of colour.

A few shades vs yours, to the drop

BB creams come in two or three shades, at best. Colour Glow is dosed: one drop for a subtle healthy-look effect, two or three for a more pronounced complexion in mid-summer. You create your own shade, summer or winter, without buying another product.

Mixed into your sunscreen, Colour Glow creates your custom tinted SPF on demand

The indispensable ally of your sun protection

This is where Colour Glow becomes invaluable. Ready-made tinted SPFs are rare, often available in a single shade, and that shade rarely matches your skin tone. Mixed with UV-Science SPF 30 Fluid Lotion or any other sunscreen, Colour Glow creates your custom tinted SPF on demand — optimal protection, anti-ageing, hydration and a glow boost, all in one.

And for a day on the patio or at the beach: mix Colour Glow into your self-tanning lotion. The pigment reveals the evenness of your application immediately — no more streaks — and your tan develops in the meantime.

How to use it: the simple gestures

1. Dose: one to three drops in the palm of your hand, depending on the intensity you're after.
2. Mix: add your usual dose of day cream, sunscreen or light foundation.
3. Apply: as you normally would, from the centre of the face outward.

Presented in a 10 ml tube with a precision nozzle, Colour Glow lasts at least three months thanks to its high concentration. It slips into a handbag for touch-ups on the go.

Frequently asked questions

Does Colour Glow replace a BB cream?

How long does one tube last?

At least three months with daily use, thanks to its very high mineral pigment concentration.
