Forever searching for a great concealer - one that doesn't sit in my tiny fine lines, one that sticks around, one that actually covers my circles without looking like beige glue or latex paint.... This may be the winner, though I know I will keep searching (if nothing else, out of fickleness!). This concealer does work - it's the right shade for me (I am very pale), it stays out of the tiny lines, and it covers without looking like a home maintenance product. I've also used it on my occasional spots and redness, and set with powder, it lasts a while (though never ever all day). It's pretty good - not The Most Awesome Concealer Ever - but pretty darned good. And a tube lasts forever! Note: I bought mine in Canada, at Shoppers Drug Mart.

It did nothing for my under eye circles. I am going back to BB.

My favourite concealer! It's smooth and very pigmented - a lilttle goes a long way. It feels lightweight and doesn't seem to exacerbate my acne-prone skin. Very good coverage for breakouts and acne scarring.

This is a fantastic under-eye concealer, and that is primarily what I use it for. Occasionally, I use it to cover blemishes or red marks, but it doesn't work as well for this purpose. The consistency is very light; somewhat runny, but it is not cakey at all and this is so important for any under-eye concealer. It covers my dark circles fairly well, although some of the 'dark shadows' still show through. It also has a soft light diffusing quality, and the staying power is very good. I've had the same tube for over 1 year, and it isn't even half empty yet, so it's an amazing value!! I use the lightest shade (10) and it suits my very fair skin perfectly.

This concealer is surprisingly great! It is very afforadable; a great suggestion to someone who wants quality that has a price limit. Its not thick but has amazing coverage. It comes in 3 colors... which works for most skin types, except for really dark skin complections.

I've been using Helena Rubinstein's Magic Concealer for ages, because it just doesn't seem to run out, and I still have a little left. However, I decided to buy a new concealer already, and went for another brand, because HR's tube packaging is not ideal: it sometimes dispensed way too much concealer that just ends up being wasted. I decided to buy Biotherm's Forget It based on the good reviews here on MUA and Paula Begoun's recommendation. I'm glad I did. The tube packaging seems to be better than with HR, and you can dispense just the right amount of the liquid concealer. Application with fingertip is effortless. The result is as natural-looking as it can get without sacrificing the concealing power. It feels neither drying nor too moist. I use it for my dark under eye area, and it works beautifully for that purpose. It comes in two shades, the lighter of which is perfect for me.

I couldn't live without this product!
It's much more than a cancealer.
i think I got it from my mum months ago and still last, you only need very very little for each area you wish to apply.
It can hide undereye circles, fine lines around the mouth, spots, blackheads, red spots...
Im now in my 30's and my skin is at its worse, on top of that my skin turned very oily in some areas and haven't found a foundation that stays on long enough.
I apply this "miracle" every day on top of the foundation or even when I don't wear any.
I apply it on all the problem areas dotting with my finger and then apply powder on top all over my face, it's the only way I have found so far to have an even skin tone. When I have a good day skin I still apply this under my eyes to illuminate and on my fine lines and it does the trick.
Just be careful apply very little, like a dot on each area and let it dry for a few seconds before extending, this is not a foundation and you could make your pores more visible!

Forget It has been on my to-try list for ages, and I'm glad it didn't disappoint. I bought it mainly as an under-eye concealer, but I'm happy to say that it works really well on blemishes as well. I love the texture - I apply concealer with my fingertips, and I like it to be easy to blend and look natural. Forget It blends effortlessly, just by patting, and creases very minimally around my eyes. It's also great on blemishes because it doesn't dry out and look flakey. Coverage is about medium, better than I was expecting. I've tried a million concealers, and this is one of my all-around favourites. However, a huge weakness is the poor shade selection. It only comes in 10, 20 and 30, and unfortunately I think I would be a 15 (I use the 20, and it really is too dark). I wish it came in a smaller tube (with a correspondingly lower price), but otherwise the packaging is nice.

I like it so far, I've only used it twice so far. It has the 2 qualities I look for in a concealer: 1) not too thick/creamy 2) covers well. It actually looks very thin when out of the tube, but I was suprised by it's concealing powers. 1 little drop is good enough for all my imperfections. It spreads out pretty well, but at a certain point you can no longer spread it out, and that's the point it starts concealing the spots (if that even makes sense) The bad thing abt it is that it only has 2 colours to choose from. 10 and 20, 20 is darker, which is the one I am using, and I am not that dark, so it's probablly not so great for people with darker skin

I'm on my second tube and I'm very pleased with the result. It covers blemishes and under eye circles better than many concealars. Between my first and second tube I decided to give a chance to other concealers too but a litte search get me back to this one again. I like the color looks natural (no1) on my fair skin others brands were too pink or to yellow for me. I even bought one for my sister as a gift. I know she is hooked too. And, one tube seems to go forever which makes it very cheap compared to other brands.

This stuff lasts forever. It comes out very thin, but is you can easily layer it.
When I first got this I was pretty disappointed because of how thin it is. It's almost like liquid foundation. But then I was really surprised by how well it covered up my acne when I broke out really badly. This does not make me break out more at all. The only thing is that I find this is usually gone by the end of the day - but I have really oily skin and I don't think anything will last the whole day on my skin without touchups...
I would recommend this.

I think this is such a great product! I have used for many many years, and have never bothered to try and find a better alternative, beause this simply does the job so well! Covers everything without looking too covered :) And one tube lasts forever!

I got this as a gift for when i bought the Biotherm make remover.
I adore this product! : D
I'm asian, and i thought this product would've been too light, since it only came in one shade.
But it blends in great (after a couple of swirls) and it's natural ingrediants help out with my occasional breakouts!

I'm always on the hunt for a great concealer to hide the mess I call my chin: old acne scars, broken capillaries, general redness. This concealer goes on beautifully. It blends seemlessly, covers imperfections and just makes you look like you have great skin to being with. I use the middle shade, 20, and it's a perfect match for my skin. It's also reasonably priced ($17 CAD) and comes in a sanitary tube. Because my face is oily, it doesn't work well under the powder foundation I wear most days. By noon, it's gone even when worn over primer (my HG is Clinique Pore Minimizer). It does, however, last longer over a liquid foundation on days when I wear "dress up make up." Although I do like this, I said "no" to repurchase because I would like to find one great concealer to wear with any foundation.

This is the concealer that I keep going back to. It's slightly beige but it's great for concealing dark circles and pimples. Sometimes I don't even use foundation and just use this to cover up spots. It's important to powder up after using the concealer though, else it may melt off (this is if you live in a very humid climate, in the summer). Price-wise, it's not that expensive considering that one tube takes forever to use.
I'm actually using my 2nd tube, even though I never finished my first tube. I used my first tube for more than a year and thought I'd replace it for sanitary purposes. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone since you don't need to use a lot to cover up.

From all the concealers I've tried ( Mac, Dior, YSL, Stila) this one has the best texture and coverage too. I got the #1 shade, because the #2 was too orange for me, excellent for covering my dark brownish circles, and melts on my skin, BUT the shade#1 it's kind of lighter than my rest face and sometimes it doesn't look good, so I either apply too much powder on top to cover the paleness or I wear it under my fndt, which I don't like to do it with concealers but that way it looks better!! I only wish Biotherm would come up with more shades!!
