Foundations That’ll Conceal Acne Scars and Marks

Once a breakout clears, you might be left with discolored marks, scars or hyperpigmentation. If you choose to conceal these areas, we recommend reaching for a heavy duty, full-coverage foundation that can help smooth out uneven texture and even tone. Ahead, we share five foundations that can help conceal the look of acne-related marks and scars.

Dermablend Continuous Correction CC Cream SPF 50+

This formula is both weightless and breathable, but it gives a full-coverage finish that lasts up to 24 hours. It helps conceal redness, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, acne scars and dark spots, and the non-comedogenic foundation also offers broad-spectrum SPF 50. 

NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Pro Drop Foundation

These drops are a great option for covering acne scars, thanks to their strong coverage.  They smooth out uneven skin texture and minimize the appearance of current blemishes, too. More drops = more coverage!  

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear 24HR Foundation

Want a full-coverage foundation that won’t budge an inch? This formula lasts for up to 24 hours, which makes it a great for concealing acne scars and marks for all day. We also love that it’s comfortable, breathable and won’t cake or crease. 

Dermablend Flawless Creator Lightweight Foundation

Formulated with only ten ingredients, this option works for virtually every skin type. It’s highly pigmented, which allows it to cover blemishes of every kind, whether they're old, new or scarred. 

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream

A crowd-favorite CC cream, this formula  was designed to color-correct and minimize the appearance of large pores, bumps or scars. It also contains SPF to help you avoid sun-induced hyperpigmentation (provided you wear the proper amount of sunscreen underneath, too).
