The Best Foundations to Cover Acne Scars

DERMABLEND SMOOTH LIQUID CAMO FOUNDATION

Meet: A formula that gives twice the coverage of a classic foundation for up to 16 hours of color wear. To cover minor to moderate skin issues—think: redness, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and birthmarks—look to Smooth Liquid Camo Foundation. The broad-spectrum SPF 25 formula contains a high level of pigments for coverage that looks like skin, not makeup. What’s more, thanks to its lightweight texture and matte finish, the foundation is never cakey or masky. It’s even suitable for sensitive skin. Choose from 15 shades.

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. Thanks to its resurfacing technology, the foundation addresses both skin tone and texture to provide a uniform, even surface.

Immediately upon application, skin feels soft, smooth, and remains comfortable all-day long.

It glides on easily and hydrates the skin for long-lasting, natural coverage for up to 16 hours.
