The sneaky thing about zits is that they can pop up at any time, usually when you least expect them.
That’s why you need one of these pimple concealers on standby. These not only cover up offending blemishes like any regular cosmetic concealer, but they are also packed with ingredients to help zits dry up and also heal faster. What’s more, as they are made specifically for acne-prone skin, they are all dermatologically-tested and non-comedogenic so you can be sure they won’t aggravate that angry red spot.
We love that they are like pimple creams but with the added benefit of a cover-up.
