CoverBlend's® is highly opaque, smudge-resistant, light-reflecting, non-transferable, natural-looking creme makeup foundation with no melting down or setting powder needed. Dermablend has a less natural look - waxy, mineral-oil, thick stage makeup.

CoverBlend's® is formulated to conceal and correct all types of visible skin imperfections (from minor flaws to major discolorations) while providing anti-aging treatment and sunscreen protection. All CoverBlend's® corrective products are formulated with NeoStrata’s unique Polyhydroxy, gluconolactone, providing all the anti-aging benefits of an Alpha Hydroxy in addition to intense moisturization and antioxidant properties while camouflaging the imperfection. It is suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

NeoStrata reports that in an eight-hour wearability study CoverBlend's® Concealing Treatment Makeup consistently out-scored Dermablend with scores between very good and excellent in categories that included even appearance, natural appearance, coverage/opacity, non-creasing, wearability and overall appearance. CoverBlend's® products are completely mineral oil-free, and have been confirmed in clinical studies to be non-comedogenic.
