Let’s be real: The concealer that works for 20-year-olds on TikTok may not be the best one for those over 50. “As we age, our skin barrier weakens, resulting in increased moisture loss and dryness of the skin,” board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD, tells PEOPLE. The skin also loses collagen which can lead to wrinkles and fine lines, and long-time sun exposure can add to discoloration over time, she adds.
“[Concealer for mature skin] needs to be crease-proof so that it doesn’t settle into fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth,” says L’Oreal Paris celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño, adding that “color correcting properties” can also be a helpful feature for hyperpigmentation and other discoloration concerns.
