Want to Cover Up Acne Scars? You Need This Makeup in Your Life

The physical aspects of acne — redness, uneven skin, scarring, just to name a few — are enough to make anyone living with this skin condition feel as though they never are able to put their best face forward. Though topical treatments can certainly help minimize the effects, the right makeup can temporarily “erase” the problems.

Enter Dermablend Professional. The makeup brand, created out of “frustration and empathy,” has added yet another product to its line of effective cover-ups. Blurring Mousse Camo is an oil-free foundation with a whiplike texture that conceals acne scars in a way we haven’t seen before. It comes in 12 shades from ivory to rich — with dense pigments that make for long-lasting coverage.

To prove the efficacy of its latest launch, Dermablend named consumer turned spokesperson Kali Kushner as its muse. The 21-year-old is known for sharing her candid experiences dealing with acne on her Instagram account, called MyFaceStory. But Kushner’s makeup tutorial using Blurring Mousse Camo says it all.

When pressed onto the skin with your fingertips or a makeup sponge (trust us, a little goes a long way), it dries down to a matte finish that looks natural. What also makes this lightweight foundation great for acne sufferers is that it’s fragrance-free and noncomedogenic — and it’s formulated with SPF 25 because sun protection is nonnegotiable for treating acne.

You also don’t have to worry about getting those cakey, craterlike spots that are typically a result of heavy foundations and concealers, which accentuate raised bumps and facial scars instead of concealing them. What a confidence booster!

Dermablend Professional Blurring Mousse Camo ($38) is available in stores and online at Ulta, Sephora, and Macy’s, as well as Dermablend.com.
