Want to cover a tattoo for a day without committing to long sleeves? Kryolan’s Dermacolor collection is designed for that. The catch is that the camouflage cream is only part of the routine.
The brand pairs its highly pigmented cream with a setting powder and finishing spray. If you’re looking at the collection, it helps to know what each piece does before deciding what to buy.
Kryolan provided samples for editorial consideration. The product details below come from the brand’s current instructions.
What is Dermacolor Camouflage Creme?
Dermacolor Camouflage Creme is a concentrated makeup designed to conceal tattoos and skin discoloration. Kryolan sells it in individual shades and also offers palettes within the Dermacolor line.
The shades can be mixed, which is useful if one color alone isn’t a close match. Kryolan’s directions call for a small amount applied in thin, stippled layers, rather than one thick coat.
The powder is part of the system
The step worth paying attention to is Dermacolor Fixing Powder. Kryolan describes the talc-free powder as a required part of its camouflage system, used to set the cream and give it a matte finish.
The brand says to press the powder over the coverage, let it set, then gently remove the excess. Its water-resistance claims depend on properly setting the makeup, so buying the cream alone and skipping that step would miss part of the intended routine.
Where the fixing spray comes in
Dermacolor Fixing Spray goes on after the powder. Kryolan describes it as extra protection, particularly for areas such as the hands and neck, and says the camouflage becomes smudge-proof after it dries.
That is the brand’s performance claim, not a promise that every application will wear identically. Shade matching, thin layers, and following the product directions are part of the process.
If tattoo coverage is what brought you here, check the cream, powder, and spray together before ordering. The U.S. Dermacolor collection has the current options; choose the shade and size on the product page to check its price and availability.
