Careline Pimple Concealer Review

This is a concealer that is readily available almost everywhere in the Philippines...Careline being a local brand & is very easy to find. Since i' have a lot of pimples everywhere...i can't even wear makeup...i figure that i should not abuse my skin & use products that would at least be good for my skin...that's why i bought this...

Im pretty sure that im nowhere near buying Murad Acne Treatment Concealer...

Ok, going back to the product...I'm feeling a little lazy so i just took a pic of the back carton for you to read... XDThe moment i took a whiff at this, the scent of Tea Tree immediately wafted in the air...so im really sure that this one got Tea Tree on it...& its good for drying out zits,right?....hence "pimple concealer'...

I think they have a couple of shades, but mine is Soft Bisque & this is how it looks like on my skin..
So of course upon opening it, i tested it..not on my face but by creating a dot at the back of my hand by a pen...Just so that i would see if it can actually 'conceal' it...

This is how it looks like after applying it then setting it with a powder


Sadly, you can still see it...

I can say that it provides a light cover up...i guess if you are going to use it to conceal freckles or age spots, then it would at least be good for teh job, but for red angry zits...i don't think so..
I tried applying it on my pimples & it just 'lighten' it..not actually conceal it...

So i think they should rename this is "Pimple Lighten-er" instead...

Well, on the good side at least it have Tea Tree on it...so i guess i can use this to 'prime' my pimples first before i put an ordinary conceal...i guess it will sort of act as a 'cover'?
sounds dumb?

Anyways, i don't see myself buying this anymore....
But i know for a fact that the Careline blushes are good because i tried it before & i actually like it!

Have you tried any Careline products?

Jaa~!

I'm using their lip and cheek tint. I mostly use it for the cheeks, and it stays on for the rest of the day, considering the fact that I sweat a lot and I have oily skin. ;)

sister... i have tons of blushes... and my cheek tint is from careline too!

i am planning to complete all careline blushes... it is my support for our local product :)

Hi thiamere!

Gustung-gusto ko din amoy ng tea tree oil, hehe.

Thanks for posting this. Naghahanap din ako ng mura pero magandang concealer, pero baka hindi na lang careline.

Gusto ko yung nail polish ng careline na puro cocktails anf pangalan ng color. nakalimutan ko na ano tawag sa line na yun party girl ata, parang ganun. I have it in black, gold/yellow and green.

Take care!
