Finding a concealer that ticks all of your boxes is like discovering there’s still ice-cream in the freezer. You’ve been blessed. And personally, we think everyone deserves that kind of happiness.
We’ve already tracked down the best under eye concealers for dark circles (you’re welcome), but finding the right pimple camouflaging formula is a whole other ball game… so we’ve gone to the source.
From beauty bloggers to our very own members, these are the best concealers for acne (according to people who actually have acne).

Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer
“I’ve found the best affordable concealer I think I’ve ever tried. If you’re looking for an acne-coverage concealer, or something for a flawless foundation finish , this is insane and totally worth the hype!“ – Em Ford from @mypaleskinblog
Available for $8 at Priceline.
M.A.C Mineralize Concealer
“This concealer blends nicely into the skin and provides an almost-opaque coverage. I have some acne scars on my cheeks, and the Mineralize Concealer covers them perfectly. Unlike some other concealers, it doesn’t have a dry formula and therefore doesn’t cling to dry patches.” – bh member Muser
Becca Aqua Perfecting Luminous Concealer
“It is feather light, blurs blemishes like an Instagram filter, and is extraordinarily hydrating due to its high water content. It is fantastic for dry, acne prone skin, because not only does it conceal, smooth, and cover, but it helps hydrate the skin to work on getting rid of the problem as well.” – Cassandra Bankson, a US model with cystic acne, told You Magazine.
Available at Sephora.
Nutrimetics nc Liquid Cover Smoothing Concealer
“Unlike so many other concealers, nc LCS Concealer is not thick or heavy on the skin, instead it is actually quite fluid and provides a surprising amount of coverage for such a light and smooth consistency. I have found that a small amount completely covers minor imperfections and takes the redness out of much larger blemishes.” – bh member Lil Berry
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
UK-based beauty blogger Katie Snooks says this is “pricey but 100 percent worth it for a beautifully natural finish with a good pigment”.
Available at Mecca.
freezeframe® blemish bomb
“Usually I would just use concealer to hide the blemish rather than actually treat the pimple, so this product is great for that. The concealer has a nice consistency which covers the pimple nicely but still looks natural. I think my breakouts have decreased since I started using this product, and I’m so happy about it.” – bh member kakid66
Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer
“This concealer is so amazing. The coverage is gorgeous. I do have a lot of acne scarring and I’ve never been able to find a concealer that has been able to really cover the redness in it, but this one has managed to! Huge fan of this product overall.” – bh member madi battese
