Two Ranges, One Goal: Clearer Skin
Dermacol offers two dedicated lines for acne-prone and problematic skin: Acne Cover and Acne Clear. Both target blemishes and imperfections, but they take very different approaches. Understanding the difference between them will help you choose the right products — or combine both into a powerful routine.
Dermacol Acne Cover: Instant Cosmetic Perfection
The Acne Cover range is focused on immediate, cosmetic results. It uses high-coverage makeup technology to conceal active blemishes, redness, and post-acne marks while delivering skin-beneficial ingredients like Tea Tree Oil and Zincidone to the surface.
This range is ideal if you want to look your best right now, while your skin heals beneath the surface.
Key Products in the Acne Cover Range
- Dermacol Acne Cover Matte Makeup Foundation — a full-coverage, matte foundation with Tea Tree Oil and Zincidone for problematic skin. It covers blemishes completely while keeping the skin balanced and shine-free throughout the day.
- Dermacol Acne Cover Mattifying Compact Powder — an oil-control powder that sets your base, minimises shine, and adds an extra layer of coverage over problem areas. Perfect for touch-ups on the go.
- Dermacol Acne Cover Corrector with Tea Tree Oil — a targeted concealer for individual blemishes. The precision tip allows you to apply directly onto spots for flawless, buildable coverage.
Dermacol Acne Clear: Long-Term Skincare Treatment
The Acne Clear range takes a completely different approach — it is a full skincare system designed to treat and prevent acne at every step of your routine. Formulated with active ingredients like salicylic acid, Tea Tree Oil, Zincidone, and Tea Tree Extract, it targets excess sebum, clogged pores, and bacteria to deliver clearer skin over time.
This range is ideal if you want to actively treat your skin and reduce breakouts long-term.
Key Products in the Acne Clear Range
- Dermacol Acne Clear Cleansing Face Wash Gel — start your routine with this gentle yet effective gel cleanser formulated with Tea Tree Oil for oily and problematic skin.
- Dermacol Acne Clear Makeup Removal & Cleansing Gel (2-in-1) — a dual-action gel that removes makeup and cleanses in a single step — ideal for evenings.
- Dermacol Acne Clear Exfoliating Face Cleanser — with Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Oil, this exfoliating wash unclogs pores and helps prevent future breakouts. Use 2–3 times per week.
- Dermacol Acne Clear Face Toner — a calming, anti-acne lotion with Tea Tree Extract that balances the skin after cleansing and tightens pores.
- Dermacol Acne Clear Evermat Pore Minimizer Gel Cream — targets enlarged pores and excess sebum production for a smoother, more refined complexion.
- Dermacol Acne Clear Spot Cream — a targeted treatment applied directly to active blemishes to speed healing and reduce inflammation overnight.
How to Combine Both Ranges
You don’t have to choose one or the other — many people use Acne Clear as their skincare base and Acne Cover for their makeup. Here’s how a combined daily routine might look:
- Morning cleanse: Acne Clear Cleansing Gel
- Tone: Acne Clear Face Toner
- Moisturise: Acne Clear Evermat Gel Cream
- Makeup: Acne Cover Matte Foundation + Acne Cover Compact Powder
- Spot coverage: Acne Cover Corrector on individual blemishes
- Evening: Acne Clear Makeup Removal Gel → Acne Clear Spot Cream on active blemishes
