What the gurus are saying

This concealer creases noticeably within hours, especially around fine lines and the inner eye corner, which can actually make wrinkles more visible rather than blur them. The shade range feels incomplete, gurus note it needs both lighter and darker options. About Face's olive tones are genuinely nice when the shade works for your skin, but the formula itself may not be the best pick if you have texture or fine lines under your eyes.

"I loved it when I first put it on. It went on so smoothly, but by the time I came back for the 5-hour check-in, it was super creased at the inner corner and also in all the smaller wrinkles below my eyes. The coverage is still in place. It hasn't worn off at all, but it definitely settles in wrinkles. So if you have wrinkling under your eyes, this is going to accentuate it. So from that standpoint, I probably won't be reaching for this one again."

"These are the Illusionist Skin Focused Concealers from About Face. I do really like their packaging. [...] About Face already proved to me that they were creating beautiful olive tones when they launched their initial foundation. They do have some really beautiful olive tones, like true olive tones. The one that I've been using is F2 Olive, which is quite nice. It's maybe like a shade half a shade dark for my skin, and it's ever so slightly more on the neutral olive side."

"I'm not impressed with the shade range. There needs to be lighter, and we do need some darker ones here. [...] Something's off with the shade range. These five shades, I'm gonna group them together. Something's off. I can't quite put my finger on it, but [...] these aren't correct. I don't know how else to describe it. [...] From first glance it looks inclusive to everyone, but as I'm looking through the shades and thinking about people and humans, this doesn't, this isn't quite right."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
