Blemishes are never welcome. There are plenty of treatments available to help clear blemishes more quickly and a myriad of concealers to cover them. But blemishes have a tendency to show through the concealers and their surface texture makes them more difficult to cover smoothly.

Clean & Clear® Advantage™ Invisible Acne Patch both treats the blemish and helps your makeup conceal it better at the same time.

Apply the liquid to the pimple and it forms an invisible layer to make it appear smoother and allow your makeup to go on more smoothly. Meanwhile it has an acne fighting medication that treats the pimple.

When you think of green makeup you probably think of Frankenstein’s monster, but there are times when you might consider using green-tinted makeup on your face (and no, it’s not on Halloween).

Your regular concealer is no match for red splotchy patches, blemishes or acne. You need to apply a color corrective under your foundation to hide the angry red and give yourself a flawless and even skin tone. A concealer with a green tint will correct the redness. Apply over the blemish, then apply your foundation. You can even apply the concealer again over your foundation and blend for a more complete coverage.

If the problem is more than a few blemishes with red splotches or rosacea (see our article on rosacea) then a product specifically designed for rosacea will be more effective.

Brenda Christian’s Rosacea Eraser is a multi-toned powder of Italian pigments micro-filled with Jojoba and Vitame E. It will neutralize red tones and soothe and protect skin.
