This is a foundation that is full coverage, it has a SPF 30 and it has mineral sunscreen. I don't have scars to cover but occasionally a cold sore pops up. I hate the way they look and Dermablend covers them right up. This makeup lasts all day, it is gentle on the skin, and covers very well. Best of all it doesn't feel heavy. I usually use it as a concealer. A little goes a long way. A great product.
