Advantages: covers scars, tattoos, birthmarks Disadvantages: expensive, not suitable for all
...they have faded to white, dermablend is not suited to covering white scars as they still end up visible, unless you put a 2 inch thick layer on (which lets face it attracts attention and defeats the object really).

I know my title appears to make no sense whatsoever but honestly it is relevant.
I have quite a number of scars on my arms and some of them are quite bad, having spent yet another summer wearing jumpers I decided to give this stuff a go. As my scars were causing my serious distress (and I happen to have an understanding Dr) I was able to get this on prescription, thus saving myself approx £16 for the cream and £15 for the waterproof setting powder.
I got mine from boots and you do need to go to one of their larger stores as not all stock this.It comes in a large range of colours and they can advise on correct shade and application.
These products are recommended for the concealing of scars, tattoos, birthmarks, port wine stains, varicose or spider veins.
The application is a learned trick as you literaly warm the product on the back of your hand and then press onto the area to be covered, you then press on the powder.
SO does it work? Well as I said before I used it on my arms which also happen to have a number of moles, once applied you could not see the moles so yes it does give a good level of cover. Unfortunately for me as my scars are quite old they have faded to white, dermablend is not suited to covering white scars as they still end up visible, unless you put a 2 inch thick layer on (which lets face it attracts attention and defeats the object really).
If you have keloid scars (still in the red, itchy stage) then yes this will work wonders but for my type it was useless.
I also found that it is quite thick and your skin needs to be well moisturised beforehand too. It does mean that it stays put very well though, easily lasts the full day and through into an evening out without reapplying.
Advantages: Covers - completely Disadvantages: not great on very dry skin
...my favourite of the collection. Dermablend *covers*. It's used by organisations such as the Red Cross to help people cover operation scars and port wine stains as the like. It will cover the darkest tatoo - so you can be certain it will obliterate a little spot or dark circle! Although this product is called 'leg and body' it's also the best in the range for the face for people with normal to oily skins - the face products are just too greasy for ... ...you must use their own sealing powder - that's rubbish unless you do want it to be absolutely waterproof (like for hours of swimming). Otherwise any old face powder or even talc (on the body) will do fine. There is a knack to applying this - you press rather than rub it on. But you get a huge tube of this so there's plenty to practice with ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Dermablend Leg and Body Cover
Advantages: Blends beautifully, Waterproof and very easy to apply! Disadvantages: A bit pricey
I recently had a photoshoot to attend and since a ''photo touch up'' was not offered, I had to cover any scars that I had. It caused a bit of a panic because not only did I have scars on my leg, but a few visible stretch marks as well. After trying numerous products in an attempt to conceal them, the only product that worked extremely well was Vichy Dermablend. Not only did it work beautifully well, but it blended so well with my skin tone. I used ...
