I have hyper-pigmentation scars on my face; they take up to a year to fade away. I usually use any cover up and get okay coverage and deal with the shadowed look on my face. I tried the DermaBlend and the scars/spots disappeared for the day. It can't hide the texture of your skin as well, but even that blended out a bit. I am happy to report the product will get me through the dark spot phase.
