I'm really puzzled at the hype over the Dr Hauschka line .These products are anything but natural.and this concealer is no different. This lists alcohol as a top ingredient and it's HIGHLY fragranced. This is a product I bought to use around eyes!The toner I had was full of alcohol as well.I'm finished with Dr Hauschka, I really expected better.

GREAT concealer, does not emphasize undereye wrinkles. Smooth application, looks totally natural!

This is a pretty good concealer. The ingredients are pleasingly natural and actually work to heal blemishes. Which is good since if I am applying something directly to a blemish, it is nice to know that the formula will not serve to worsen the spot.
.
The packaging is pretty cool. With a little turn, the liquid concealer peers out of six or seven little holes in a spongey top. I simply dab it gently onto my skin and spread with my finger tip.
.
It is a little on the pricey side; I paid 18 euros. So hopefully it will last me a while. I've only had it for a few weeks, so it's hard to tell yet.
.
It also works well for under the eyes, and various other little discolourations.
.
Not bad, not bad, and I could see myself buying it again, depending on its longevity.

The consistancy is good, not too dry, not too liquid. The color has a pink-ish hue, which I thought at first would make blemishes more apparent, but once blended actually conceals them very well. I wouldn't be able to use this concealer alone, however, but I got it to wear under dr hauschka's foundation, anyways. The two work together nicely. For under-eye/sides of nose it works even better. It erases dark circles seemlessly. It's kinda pricey, I guess, I got it for 17.56. It actually helps to heal the blemishes too, though. That to me makes it worth the price. Already, in the few days I have been using it, it has calmed my skin, slightly. This is a good sign as my sensitive skin usually reacts the opposite to ANY cosmetic application. I found the best results in first moisturizing with dr hauschka's 'toned day cream', mixed with a bit of the foundtion, to even out my skin. Then conceal, then apply a bit more foundation where needed... I have bad skin. All in all, it looks wonderfully natural, covers blemishes/dark circles well, has a great scent and calms irritation. DEFINITELY SUGGEST :D

This concealer was quite nice. Seemed a good consistency and blended in well, I didn't have a problem with it. The colour was good for me too.

The packaging though is completely useless. It didn't seem very hygienic rubbing my finger on the felt tip. Then to make things worse, after only a few weeks of use, the stupid twisty thing seems to be broken and now I can't get any concealer out of it. In the rubbish you go. Waste of money on a product with stupid packaging.

I wish i would like this concealer, but sadly I cannot... It is too thick in general, difficult to apply in the undereye area, and when you cover a blemish it looks kind of cakey. A real pity, because I really love this brand's makeup quality.

Overall this is a good concealer for light concealing around the eyes or nose. It's not good at all for blemishes. I apply only a small amount to the inner and outer corners of my eyes after dusting on powder foundation and that's enough. It doesn't last all day and evening, but it's there for most of the day.
It's true that the packaging isn't great, and you have to twist it a LOT before the concealer comes out. So that makes me wonder how long this tube will actually last. And I don't love the color, so I need to use it sparingly or I will get orange spots in natural light.

Wow, I'm amazed with the negative reviews here! I like the product because it's rather fluid, and therefore blends in, doesn't turn cakey. I use shade 01 which is perfect to go along with the translucent tinted moisturixer shade 00, and with my fair skin. I apply the concealer with my finger tips in stead of with the sponge, and it works.
Under the eyes: perfect; I don't look awfully sleepy.
On spots: works ok.

Another Dr. Hauschka product I really love. I'm amazed there are so many negative reviews about it!

I personally use shade 02; it comes in a handy stick form that you twist and a little bit of the concealer will come off. I carefully dab it into my skin and you can just see the difference. No cakey feeling, no visible color. Good lasting power and a very tastful, simple packaging is what puts the cherry on the cake for me. I love this product!

Ugh, I think I have had it with Dr. Hauschka! For years I used an earlier version of this product called the "cover stick". I used it on red spots/blemishes and it worked fine, also lasted a looong time. Then they made it a lot smaller for the same price or maybe more. Still it lasted a while and I was okay with it. But now they have replaced the cover stick with this "concealer" and I did try it but hated the change to liquid form, and the delivery of it through the wand took a lot of twisting as others mentioned. I only used it once, returned right after that to Whole Foods. I'm done with this product. I might be done with Dr. Hauschka completely, that's how annoyed I am!


I should add that I'm annoyed also because when Hauschka had "upgraded" the cover stick to a much smaller product and I wrote a respectful email voicing my disappointment, they never wrote back. Not very good customer service.- unlike Aveda, who responded amazingly when I once had an unpleasant encounter with a salesperson and they were able to keep me as a customer because they treated me so well. (I had been upset enough that I was thinking of boycotting Aveda!)


I'm not going to hold my breath that I'll get a response from my latest email to the Dr. Hauschka folks.


Yes, I'm very disappointed in Dr. Hauschka and now I am going to try out Ecco Bella's face powder to see if that'll do in replacing the Hauschka face powder I've been using for years -- which is ridiculously expensive anyway! If I do feel happy with the Ecco Bella face powder, then I immediately switch over to it and then it's good-bye Dr. Hauschka for me.

I actually really liked this product! I bought it because I was looking for a all natural concealer. I really liked the smell of it, smelled very natural. The way I apply it however, works better for me then using it with the applicator. I spot on the product where i need it and then dab it in with a foundation brush. That is how it works best for me. And a little goes a long way. I will definately purchase again and want to buy the other cosmetics in this line. btw mine was the concealer 02, not the 01.

The liquid consistency and the applicator work great for covering up undereye circles and shadows. Since it's a liquid it doesn't cake up and you can build up the coverage. Also the mica provides good light diffusion which is why it works so well on shadows. 01 has a good yellow undertone which works well for undereye circles. Has an herbal smell, doesn't bother me but goes away in a few seconds anyways.

I love Dr Hauschka products, but this didnt work for me. With its weird applicator tip, its too liquid for a good concealer on zits, difficult to apply enough coverage directly "on the spot" and allows for no layering whatsoever. Leaves some kind of matte cakey powdery finish. Did not nor work either on dark undereye circles, because it cakes and creases in the fine lines. On the plus side, the smell is nice, fresh and natural, and its packed with organic ingredients. but still. this lives on the bottom of my makeup bag and doesnt even get used on good skin days.

From a 5 to 2... after a month the product get's a little "dry" and only enhances fine lines under my eyes. Lines that I don't actually have...

Hmm, one of those products where I'm not 100% sure. I really like the packaging and I actually really like the scent - it smells kind of...healing! It covers up the pores on and around my nose very well, without sinking into them, and smooths out areas that don't look so good, especially undereye.
However, I find it isn't particularly good at covering red blemishes/spots. It works a LOT better at this if you blend it with the tip rather than your finger, but seeing as the tip is the bit dispenses the product (obviously!) it's can be tricky to use it to blend without getting more product onto the bit you're trying to blend.
It certainly doesn't irritate my skin, which has become sensitised to almost everything else. I'll stick with it for now - maybe practice will make it perfect!

Liquid Concealer is now listed as NEW on the Dr. H website (maybe a reformulation?). My initial reaction is that this covers undereye circles and blemishes well without looking cakey or fading through the day. HOWEVER, it has the worst scent I've ever experienced in a cosmetic product. I know Dr. H products all have their "patented essential oil" fragrances and normally I don't mind them much, but this is an exception. I guess I just don't understand why something I put on my face needs to smell like an odd mix of fake roses, rotten figs, old ladies and Icy Hot?

(Additionally, I just noticed on the website that mica is one of the ingredients in this. Had I noticed this earlier, I would not have purchased since mica tends to irritate my skin... so I'm a bit nervous to keep using. Grrr.)

UPDATE: After using this for several weeks, I will NEVER be purchasing this again. I can't even use up the 99% I have left of this one because the scent is so AWFUL. Instead of a light, fresh scent - if any - that I would expect from a more natural product like Dr. H, this has a heavy, sickly sweet, cloying odor that literally makes me feel sick. And it DOESN'T go away after application. Gag. It also made me break out.

This is a pretty good concealer. The only problems I have with it is it contains alcohol (not good for rosacea) and is somewhat translucent. I've been using it for months and haven't had any breakouts...I think I may switch back to ecco bella concealer since it has better coverage...not sure yet.

Very fluid and natural, it has only light covering effect on my undereye, but it's really fresh, soothing, non-irritant, it doesn't show up small lines around eyes and last for a while under foundation and powder.
I took of a lippie for the nightmare packaging! I have to twist lots of times befor seeing a drop of fluid and it comes out all at once!
I would like to buy the stick but couldn't find it in stores.
