The broad-spectrum SPF 25 formula contains a high level of pigments for amazing coverage that looks like skin, not makeup.

Dermablend Blurring Mousse Camo Foundation

When you have acne-prone skin, covering blemishes with foundation is a balancing act. If the formula is too heavy or greasy, it can suffocate pores and cause another breakout. Rest assured that this oil-free, non-comedogenic, and non-acnegenic blend will treat your skin right. The broad-spectrum SPF 25 formula provides medium coverage with a fresh mousse texture to fill-in uneven crevices and enlarged pores, as well as camouflage bumps, acne scars, and birthmarks. Thank to its resurfacing technology, the foundation addresses both skin tone and texture to provide a uniform, even surface.
