Advice for CC Cream/Primer Formula to Fill Acne Scars
I understand that acne scars can be a concern. Using products like CC Cream or Primer with properties that help fill and smooth the skin can help to visually reduce the appearance of scars and make foundation application look better.
Key ingredients that help with filling and smoothing the skin are typically silicones and blurring agents.
- Silicones: Such as Dimethicone, available in various viscosities. Silicones help create a thin film on the skin, filling in gaps and making the skin appear smoother before applying foundation. They also help the product spread easily and provide a soft, smooth feel. Silicone Gel is another form of silicone with a gel-like texture, which adds softness, smoothness, and helps fill the skin, potentially giving a matte look.
- Blurring Powder/Ingredient: Such as UltraBlur™ or QuikBlur™, which are substances that help diffuse light and blur pores, wrinkles, or acne scars on the skin, making the skin look smoother and soft-focused. QuikBlur™ comes in a liquid form that is easy to use and disperses well in various formulas. UltraBlur™ is a specially processed silica powder designed for maximum blurring effect.
You can choose to use these ingredients individually or combine them in your desired CC Cream or Primer formula to achieve the desired texture and scar-filling properties suitable for your skin.
