Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSGlycerin ~5-8%Proven
A powerful humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin, preventing the concealer from drying out the under-eye area. Keeps the formula comfortable during extended wear.
- Function: Humectant and skin-conditioning agent that maintains hydration under full-coverage makeup
- Benefit: Prevents the dry, cakey appearance often associated with matte concealers
- Research: Extensively studied ingredient recognized as safe and effective by CIR and FDA
Dimethicone ~3-5%Proven
A silicone-based polymer that creates a smooth, protective barrier on the skin surface. Responsible for the silky, blendable texture and the seamless matte finish this concealer is known for.
- Function: Emollient, skin protectant, and texture enhancer that fills in fine lines and pores
- Benefit: Creates a smooth canvas for makeup, improves blendability, and extends wear time
- Safety: Non-comedogenic (rating 1/5) and non-irritating; widely used in dermatological products
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite ~2-4%Proven
A synthetic mica that provides a soft-focus, light-reflecting effect. This mineral-based ingredient helps diffuse light across the skin, reducing the appearance of imperfections and giving a subtle luminosity under the matte finish.
- Function: Opacifying and light-diffusing agent that blurs texture and imperfections
- Benefit: Gives the concealer its high coverage opacity without a heavy or chalky look
- Note: Synthetic alternative to natural mica, offering more consistent particle size and performance
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) <1%Proven
A potent antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage while the concealer is worn. Also helps stabilize the formula and extend shelf life.
- Function: Antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent
- Benefit: Provides protective skincare benefits during all-day concealer wear
- Source: Paired with Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus) as a natural carrier for enhanced stability
Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) & Iron Oxides Varies by shadeProven
Mineral pigments responsible for the concealer's opaque, full-coverage color payoff. Titanium Dioxide provides the white base for coverage, while Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499) create the range of skin-matching shades.
- Function: Colorants and opacifying agents that deliver true-to-skin color
- Benefit: Mineral-based pigments are gentle on skin and provide stable, long-lasting color that does not oxidize
- Safety: Widely regarded as some of the safest cosmetic colorants available

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEApply after foundation for targeted coverage. Can also be worn alone for a quick, no-foundation look. Always set with a loose powder to maximize longevity and prevent creasing.
How to use
HOW TO USEPrep Your Skin
Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply eye cream under the eyes and allow it to absorb for 1-2 minutes. This prevents the matte formula from emphasizing dryness.
Apply Concealer
Swipe the XL doe-foot applicator directly onto imperfections. For dark circles, apply in an inverted triangle under each eye. Use small dots for blemishes. A little goes a long way.
Blend Quickly
Pat and blend with your fingertips, a damp beauty sponge, or a concealer brush. Work quickly as the formula sets fast. Patting motions give the best coverage; avoid rubbing.
Set with Powder
Lightly dust a translucent loose powder over the concealer using a small fluffy brush. This locks it in place, prevents creasing, and extends wear up to the full 24 hours.

Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESOutstanding match. The matte finish controls shine all day. Waterproof formula resists melting in heat and humidity. Sets to a long-lasting, oil-resistant finish.
Can emphasize dry patches and fine lines under the eyes. Must prep with a rich eye cream and moisturizer. Blend with fingertips for a smoother finish. Consider a more hydrating alternative.
Ideal for combination skin. Controls oil in the T-zone without over-drying other areas. The Glycerin base provides just enough hydration for balanced comfort.
Contains Parfum and 6 EU fragrance allergens. Patch test 24-48 hours before full use. If your skin does not react, the formula itself is gentle with Glycerin and Vitamin E.
Low comedogenic rating (2/5) and effective for covering active breakouts and post-acne marks. Not fungal acne safe due to Hexyl Laurate and esters. Great for spot concealing blemishes.
Full-coverage matte formula can settle into fine lines and wrinkles if not properly prepped. Use sparingly under the eyes and apply with a patting motion. Set with minimal powder.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. The formula contains Benzyl Salicylate (a fragrance compound structurally related to salicylic acid) and several fragrance allergens including Linalool and Citronellol. While these are present in very small amounts as fragrance components and not as active ingredients, some dermatologists recommend minimizing exposure during pregnancy. There are no retinoids, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens in the formula. Consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist for personalized advice.
No, this concealer is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients known to feed Malassezia yeast, including Hexyl Laurate (a fatty acid ester), Isononyl Isononanoate, Octyldodecanol, and Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate. If you suffer from fungal acne or Malassezia folliculitis, consider a FA-safe alternative such as the e.l.f. Camo Concealer (some shades are FA-safe) or check folliculitisscout.com for verified options.
Yes. Since this is a color cosmetic applied on top of your skincare routine, it will not interfere with active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, or BHAs that are already absorbed into the skin. Allow your serums and treatments to fully absorb (5-10 minutes) before applying moisturizer, primer, and then concealer. The concealer sits on the skin surface and does not interact with active ingredients beneath it.
This concealer is best suited for oily and combination skin types. The matte, waterproof formula controls shine and stays put in humid conditions. It is also excellent for acne-prone skin (low comedogenic rating of 2/5) for spot concealing. Those with dry or mature skin can still use it with proper prep (eye cream, moisturizer, hydrating primer) but may find a more hydrating concealer like the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind or NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer more comfortable.
Results are immediate. This is a color cosmetic, not a skincare treatment. Full coverage is visible the moment you apply and blend. Dark circles, blemishes, redness, and discoloration are covered in a single application. Coverage lasts up to 24 hours depending on skin type, prep, and setting. With 2-4 weeks of use, most people refine their application technique for even better results.
Apply concealer as step 5 in your makeup routine: after cleanser, moisturizer/eye cream, primer, and foundation. If you are skipping foundation, apply after moisturizer and primer. Always set with a light dusting of translucent loose powder to prevent creasing and extend wear time. The concealer can also be applied before foundation for an extra-coverage, targeted approach.
The overall comedogenic rating is 2 out of 5 (low risk). The main base is Water and Glycerin with Dimethicone (non-comedogenic silicone rated 1/5). Some ingredients like Hexyl Laurate and Isononyl Isononanoate carry mild comedogenic potential (rated 1-2/5). For most people, this concealer will not clog pores, especially when properly removed at the end of the day with a double-cleansing routine. However, individual sensitivity varies.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. After opening, use the product within one year for the best texture, pigmentation, and performance. Signs that the product has expired include changes in smell, separation of the formula, or a thicker/drier consistency. Always keep the cap tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place to maximize shelf life.
Verdict: The L'Oréal Infallible More Than Concealer delivers exceptional full coverage at a drugstore price point that rivals premium concealers costing 2-3 times more. Its waterproof, transfer-proof formula is a standout for oily and combination skin, lasting impressively through long days and humid conditions. The wide 25-shade range and multi-use functionality (conceal, contour, highlight) add tremendous value. However, it loses points for containing fragrance allergens, not being fungal acne safe, and its tendency to emphasize dryness under the eyes on non-oily skin types. If you have oily or combination skin and need bulletproof coverage, this is one of the best concealers available at any price. Dry or sensitive skin types should prep thoroughly or consider more hydrating alternatives.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
