Pimples happen to everyone, including men. The trick is not pretending they do not exist but knowing when and how to cover them without making things worse. With Kint Daily Concealer, you can cover a spot naturally, boost your confidence, and still let your skin breathe.
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
- Cleanse with a gentle face wash to remove oil and dirt.
- Apply a lightweight moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.
(If the pimple is fresh and inflamed, meaning red, raised, or painful, use a pimple patch first to protect it. Once it flattens, concealer will blend better and will not irritate the spot)
Step 2: Apply Concealer
For healing pimples, redness, or acne scars, apply Kint Daily Conceale directly on the mark.
Use a fingertip or brush and tap gently. Avoid rubbing.
Focus only on the pimple, not the whole area, to keep the coverage natural.
Step 3: Blend for Natural Look
Blend the edges of the concealer into the surrounding skin, not the center of the pimple.
The goal is seamless coverage that looks like your skin, not makeup.
Step 4: Optional – Set with Powder
Lightly dust translucent powder to lock in coverage.
This keeps concealer from sliding, especially if you have oily skin or a long day ahead.

FAQs
What ingredients can cause irritation?
- Added fragrance. When searching for the right beauty products, it may be best to look for products that are fragrance-free.
- Preservatives. Preservatives that have been found to be associated with allergic reactions include methylisothiazolinone (MIT), methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT), and formaldehyde.
- Dyes. Added dyes, such as paraphenylenediamine (PPD). PPD is most commonly found in hair dyes, coloring shampoos, and color cosmetics.
- Essential oils. You might want to avoid using thyme, clove, oregano, and cinnamon bark (among others!) directly on your skin as irritation may occur. If using citrus oil on your skin, avoid sunlight following its application as sun sensitivity may occur.
What else could be causing skin irritation?
- Skin conditions. If you have persistent irritation, you may have a skin condition like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea.
- Sunburn. Apply your favorite broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher daily to help keep away red, itchy skin.
- Dry skin. Try adding a super hydrating moisturizer to your routine with ingredients like ceramides to soothe flaking and irritation.
- Fabric. Watch your wardrobe and make sure your skin feels as good as you look.
- Medication. Some medications can cause your skin to be itchy and irritated.
- Plants. Your skin could be irritated due to contact with a plant that causes itching and irritation, like poison ivy.
- Hair removal. A dull razor or skipping steps in your hair removal or beard care routine might be the cause of your skin’s irritation.
