This Hydrating Concealer Erases Tretinoin Flaking in a Flash
Riley Carter here. So apparently the secret to unflakeable skin was hiding in a tube this whole time.
Anyone who has braved tretinoin’s purging and peeling knows that “the Tret uglies” are a real rite of passage. This topical retinoid is celebrated for clearing acne and smoothing fine lines, but the journey often includes a season of flaky, dehydrated patches. While most concealers just highlight every dry spot, It Cosmetics Do It All Radiant Concealer seems to have cracked the code on blending away flakes without accentuating them.
This product landed on my desk right when my skin was at its driest. It Cosmetics advertises vitamins B5 and E to soothe stressed skin plus hyaluronic acid to boost hydration. And unlike some formulas that feel thick or greasy, this concealer glides on with a dewy finish that looks natural and radiant. I’m on the fair end of the spectrum with pink undertones, so finding a match is usually a nightmare. The 25-shade range includes everything from pale ivory to deep mocha, and my personal shade pairs flawlessly without any weird yellow cast.
During my tretinoin phase, I tested at least half a dozen high-end and drugstore concealers that made my flakes pop like holiday tinsel. This one managed to fill in dry lines and guard against creasing until evening cleansing time. Customer feedback on Amazon and Sephora confirms the verdict. One Amazon reviewer wrote, “First concealer that went on smooth and stayed on all day. Did not crease or cake. My eyes love it.” A Sephora fan commented that the coverage is “medium to full,” blends perfectly and keeps under-eyes “bright and hydrated without feeling heavy.”
Beyond acne camouflage, this tube doubles as a dark-circle buster so fans like Kyle Richards and Hailey Bieber can treat it as a multitasker. With over 18,100 five-star Amazon ratings, the consensus is clear: it performs beyond expectations for those with dry, sensitive or aging skin. Even celebrities such as Lisa Rinna, Julianne Hough and Kate Upton count it among their beauty staples.
If you are still navigating the flaky aftermath of tretinoin or fighting daily redness and under-eye shadows, this hydrating formula could be your new MVP. It’s available now on Amazon and at Sephora, so you can snag yours in time for your next video call or date night.
There you have it: a concealer that actually lives up to its promises, smoothing out irritation and boosting glow when your skin feels like it needs a lifeline.
Okay, so like, that’s the scoop. Go on and give your dry patches the cold shoulder.
