Hi everyone! Today I will review the Enca AC Control Total concealer
(19$) from Wishtrend, which was
part of my latest wishtrend haul! The Enca
concealer caught my eye a while ago so I was very happy to see it in the wishbox No.34. My skin is very sensitive, if I use
concealers on pimples or marks they mostly get worse - inflamed and/or
irritated.
The Enca AC Control concealer seemed worth a try as the line is specially formulated for acne prone skin.

Sounds great right? Looking at the ingredient list you can see
that the concealer contains some natural
extracts: Rosemary, perilla leaf, chamomile and jojoba oil. Running it
thought CosDNA some red flags pop
up, talc scores 1 and Simmondsia
Chinensis Seed Oil 2 for acne. I like that they included Arbutin,
a great ingredient for whitening. I'm a little bit concerned about the talc, although
it scores only 1 out of 5 for acne I know that powders containing talc can
cause breakouts on my skin.
The packaging is
small, only 3.5 ml, less than most concealers out there. It has a sponge top applicator which is very practical, just swipe the brush onto
the troubled area and pat it with your finger or a brush.
The concealer comes in one
shade, yellow grey toned and slightly to light for my skin. The texture is very thick, and dries fast
after blending. Compared to other regular concealers it takes longer to pat it evenly
onto skin. The coverage is good, I
would say medium depending on the
amount of product.
My hand color is a little bit darker than my face
Overall I like the medium coverage
of this concealer and staying power.
It does a good job at concealing marks and pimples, texture is thick but is not
difficult to blend. Unfortunately, only one color is available which is slightly
too light for me, but still okay to use.
The product is a little bit pricey 19.99$ for 3,5 ml, but the formula is very thick
that a little bit goes a long way. Despite the talc in the formula it doesn't
break me out or make my skin worse. I must admit I haven't noticed any major healing of pimples and marks etc. Still,
the product is great for acne sensitive skin,
with its matte velvet finish,
especially for oily skin.
This is definitely a specialized concealer for acne prone skin with
decent coverage which is hard to find! You can buy the Enca AC Control
concealer from Wishtrend for $19.99 USD.

yeah I was also weary because of the talc, still don't understand why they had tom include it, especially as the product is aimed at acne sensitive skin. It didn't break me out but I prefer talc free products when possible
DeleteOnly one color? That´s a shame.

Most Korean products have limited color selection 2-3 usually, but only one shade is really bad. They also have a BB cream which comes in one shade just like the concealer (

I like the sleek packaging. The product itself looks quite small, but I like that it works well for oily skin. :]
