1 / 8Got a skin emergency? These concealers are just what you need. Wouldn’t it be great if you can treat your skin issues while you hide them? Instead of using one concealer for different skin imperfections that may occur, why not opt for concealers that target specific skincare conditions depending on where you need them? For example, concealers that help heal blemishes would contain ingredients like salicylic acid to purge pores and kill bacteria, while concealers that are made for concealing dark eye circles might tend to contain depuffing ingredients that nourish the delicate area as well. Read on to find out which concealer works best for anything you want to cover and treat:
