The ingredients in all three shades are identical, but their concentrations and positions in the INCI list vary. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It is a common emollient used in skincare products that helps soften and smooth the skin while reducing moisture loss by forming a protective layer on the skin's surface. It also improves the texture of skincare products, making them easier to apply. Some people may find that products containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride contribute to clogged pores, but reactions to individual ingredients can vary from person to person. What works well for you might not work for someone else. Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) is a mineral pigment widely used in makeup as a white pigment and opacifying agent. It can also provide UV protection, mainly against UVB and some UVA radiation.
Polymethyl Methacrylate is a film-forming ingredient that helps create a smoother, more even-looking skin surface by blurring the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture. Its smoothing and optical-blurring effect is temporary, which makes it particularly useful in makeup products such as foundations and primers. Polyisobutene is a thickening and texture-enhancing ingredient that helps improve the consistency of the formula. It also provides emollient properties and can contribute to the smooth, comfortable application of makeup. Isodecyl Neopentanoate is a synthetic emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin. It has a lightweight, dry-touch feel and spreads easily, making it particularly useful in sunscreen and makeup formulas.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil is an occlusive ingredient that helps thicken the formula and forms a protective film on the skin’s surface, helping to reduce moisture loss. Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is an emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin while improving the product's spreadability. It gives makeup a lightweight, silky feel and helps create a more even application. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral that is widely used in cosmetics as a pigment and light-reflecting ingredient. It creates a luminous, shimmery effect by reflecting and scattering light, which can help products provide a glowing finish and visually smooth the appearance of the skin. There has been some controversy around mica sourcing because mining practices in certain regions have been associated with poor working conditions and child labor concerns. Many cosmetic companies now focus on responsibly sourced mica or synthetic alternatives to improve supply chain transparency.
Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate is a thickening and texture-enhancing ingredient. It helps improve the consistency and stability of the formula while contributing to a smoother application. This ingredient can also enhance the gloss and shine of the product, creating a more polished and even finish. Diisostearyl Malate is an oil-soluble emollient commonly used in cosmetic formulations, especially in lip products and makeup. It helps soften and smooth the skin while improving the texture and spreadability of the formula. It creates a comfortable, glossy finish and helps prevent moisture loss by forming a lightweight protective layer on the skin.
Iron Oxide Yellow are mineral pigments responsible for the yellow colour in cosmetic formulations. They are commonly used in makeup products such as foundations, concealers, eyeshadows, and lip products to create and adjust shades. CI 77492 is typically a matte yellow pigment and is often combined with other iron oxides (red and black) to create natural-looking skin tones and a wide range of cosmetic colours. Paraffin sometimes has a bad reputation because it is derived from petroleum. However, cosmetic-grade paraffin is highly purified and refined for use in personal-care products. It acts as an emollient and occlusive, forming a protective layer on the skin that helps reduce water loss. Paraffin is also used in professional skincare treatments, particularly for dry skin. It can be especially useful for dry, chapped lips and as part of an occlusive routine such as slugging.
Aluminum Hydroxide, also known as CI 77002, is a white pigment and emollient. It's used in antiperspirants because it helps absorb sweat and sebum. It can also be used as a coating ingredient for UV-protecting ingredients. 1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic solvent and preservative booster. It helps protect products from microorganisms by enhancing the effectiveness of other preservatives. It also has humectant properties, helping to keep the skin hydrated, and is generally well tolerated by the skin. Sorbitan Sesquioleate is an emulsifier that helps combine and stabilize oil and water-based ingredients in a formula. It is particularly useful in water-in-oil emulsions, where water droplets are dispersed within an oil phase.
Microcrystalline Wax is a mineral wax derived from petroleum that acts as an emollient and texture-enhancing ingredient. It helps soften and smooth the skin while forming a protective barrier that helps reduce moisture loss and maintain skin hydration. It is also commonly used to improve the consistency, stability, and spreadability of cosmetic formulations. Iron Oxide Red are mineral pigments responsible for red colour in cosmetic formulations. They are commonly used in makeup products such as foundations, concealers, blushes, eyeshadows, and lip products to create and adjust shades. CI 77491 is typically a matte red pigment and is often combined with other iron oxides (yellow and black) to create natural-looking skin tones and a wide range of cosmetic colours.
Caprylyl Glycol is a multifunctional ingredient with emollient and humectant properties. It helps keep the skin hydrated, improves the texture and feel of cosmetic formulations, and can contribute to a smooth, soft finish on the skin. Methicone is a silicone polymer that acts as a dry emollient and film-forming ingredient. It creates a lightweight, breathable film on the skin, helping to improve the spreadability and durability of cosmetic products. In makeup formulations, it enhances wear time and contributes to a smooth, silky finish. In haircare products, Methicone has antistatic properties that help reduce flyaways and improve hair manageability.
Iron Oxide Black are mineral pigments responsible for black colour in cosmetic formulations. They are widely used in makeup products such as foundations, concealers, eyeshadows, and lip products to create and adjust shades. Although CI 77499 is a black pigment, it is not always used to create visibly black products. In foundation and complexion products, it is often combined with other iron oxides (such as red and yellow iron oxides) and pigments to achieve different skin tones and natural-looking shades. Tuber Melanosporum Extract, also known as Black Truffle Extract, is a skin-conditioning ingredient with humectant properties. It may also provide antioxidant benefits, helping to protect the skin from oxidative stress.
Tuber Magnatum Extract, also known as White Truffle Extract, is a skin-conditioning ingredient with moisturizing, antioxidant, and soothing properties. It is often used in anti-aging skincare formulations due to its potential to help protect the skin from oxidative stress and support a healthy-looking complexion. Resveratrol is a polyphenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It occurs naturally in foods such as red grapes, berries, and red wine. In skincare, it may help protect the skin from oxidative stress, support the skin’s natural repair processes, and improve hydration by influencing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which help maintain the skin’s moisture and structure. Resveratrol may also help address hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. Some studies have investigated concentrations of 0.5% or higher for this purpose, although the effectiveness of a finished cosmetic product depends on its formulation and stability. Overall, resveratrol is a useful antioxidant ingredient for supporting skin exposed to environmental stress and signs of skin aging.
Squalane is a lightweight emollient that closely resembles the lipids naturally found in our skin’s sebum. Although the names sound almost identical, squalane and squalene are different: squalane is the hydrogenated, more stable form of squalene, meaning it is less prone to oxidation and has a longer shelf life. This ingredient works well for all skin types, including sensitive and irritated skin, thanks to its moisturizing and barrier-supporting properties. Squalane is commonly derived from sources such as sugarcane or olives and helps soften the skin while reducing moisture loss. Panthenol, also known as vitamin B5, is a humectant that helps retain moisture and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL). It has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting the skin barrier and helping with irritation and the healing process. It is especially useful for sensitive or damaged skin, including after sun exposure. In haircare, panthenol helps hydrate, soften, and improve hair manageability.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is a probiotic-derived ingredient used in skincare. Ferments have become popular in recent years because of their potential benefits for sensitive and compromised skin. This ingredient helps soothe the skin and supports a healthy skin microbiome. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids found in the skin and are often described as the “cement” that holds skin cells together. Ceramide NP (also known as Ceramide 3) helps strengthen the skin barrier, reducing moisture loss and protecting the skin from dehydration. Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a lower-molecular-weight form of hyaluronic acid that acts as a humectant. Thanks to its smaller molecular size, it can penetrate the upper layers of the skin more effectively than high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, helping to deliver moisture where it is needed. It is a naturally derived polymer that binds water, helps maintain skin hydration, and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt form of hyaluronic acid and a naturally occurring component of the skin. It has excellent water-binding properties, helping to attract and retain moisture for long-lasting hydration. By supporting the skin’s moisture balance, sodium hyaluronate helps maintain a plump and healthy-looking complexion. It can also form a lightweight moisturizing film on the skin’s surface and improve the stability of skincare formulations by preventing them from drying out. Glycine is an amino acid. Glycine is one of the components found in collagen. It has moisturizing properties and it helps with wrinkles. Serine is an amino acid and one of the components of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It acts as a humectant, helping the skin retain moisture, and supports skin conditioning. In hair care, serine also has antistatic properties, helping to reduce static electricity and improve hair manageability.
Glutamic Acid is an amino acid that naturally occurs in the human body. It also acts as a humectant, helping the skin retain moisture, and plays a role in maintaining the skin's natural pH balance. Aspartic Acid is an amino acid naturally found in the human body and plays a role in the urea cycle, which is involved in the removal of excess nitrogen from the body. In cosmetics, it is primarily used as a skin- and hair-conditioning ingredient and may help support the overall condition of the skin and hair. Leucine is an amino acid that helps support skin conditioning and may contribute to maintaining skin firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Alanine is an amino acid that helps maintain skin hydration and has conditioning and antistatic properties. In haircare, it can help improve the hair’s manageability and reduce static.
Lysine is an amino acid that helps maintain skin hydration and supports skin conditioning. It may also help strengthen the skin and hair while contributing to a smoother, healthier-looking appearance. Arginine is an amino acid that plays an important role in protein production in the body. Research has also looked at the connection between arginine and HSV infections, suggesting that arginine levels may influence how the virus behaves in the body. Tyrosine is an amino acid involved in melanin synthesis and has antioxidant properties. It also has antistatic properties, which can help reduce static electricity in hair and improve manageability.
Phenylalanine is an amino acid and one of the components of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It has humectant and skin-conditioning properties, helping support the skin’s moisture balance. Phenylalanine has also been studied in combination with UVA phototherapy for the treatment of vitiligo. Valine is an amino acid that helps maintain skin hydration and is one of the components of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It supports the skin’s moisture balance and conditioning. Threonine is an amino acid that helps condition the skin and may support the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It can help maintain a smooth, supple appearance. In hair care, threonine has conditioning and antistatic properties and may help reduce breakage and improve the appearance and manageability of curly hair.
Proline is an amino acid. It has anti-aging properties, it boosts skin elasticity. Proline + Vitamin C is a great combination for mature skin. Isoleucine is an amino acid that helps maintain skin hydration and supports the skin barrier. It also has anti-static properties, which can help reduce static electricity in hair and improve manageability. Histidine is an amino acid that helps support skin hydration and has soothing and skin-conditioning properties. Methionine is an amino acid that helps maintain skin hydration and supports skin conditioning. It also has anti-static properties, which can help reduce static electricity in hair. Cysteine is an antioxidant, it regenerates the skin and nourishes hair and skin. It prevents skin from the negative effects of UV radiation. Butylene Glycol is a multifunctional ingredient commonly used in skincare and haircare products. It acts as a solvent and humectant, helping to dissolve ingredients while attracting moisture to the skin and hair. It can also enhance the penetration of active ingredients, improve a product's texture, and prevent formulations from drying out.
Glycerin, also known as Glycerol, is a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. Depending on the product, it can be derived from natural sources or produced synthetically. It helps protect the skin from TEWL (transepidermal water loss), a natural process in which water evaporates from the skin's surface. Glycerin is one of the components of the NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor), which plays an important role in maintaining skin hydration. It is also widely used in hair care products due to its moisturizing properties. Glycerin is generally considered non-comedogenic and is unlikely to clog pores. Rather than irritating the skin, it can help support the skin barrier and reduce the feeling of dryness and irritation. Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional ingredient used as a preservative and preservative booster in cosmetic formulations. It has mild moisturizing and antimicrobial properties, helping to keep products stable while supporting the effectiveness of other preservatives.
Water is typically listed in cosmetic products as "Aqua" or "Eau". It acts as a solvent, but it is not the same as ordinary drinking water. In skincare products, water must meet strict purity standards to ensure it is free from impurities, including minerals, microorganisms, and other contaminants. In most formulations, water makes up the largest proportion of the product. Hydrogenated Lecithin is a version of lecithin. It works as an emollient in the formulas. Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate is an emulsifier and nonionic surfactant that helps combine and stabilize oil- and water-based ingredients in cosmetic formulations. It can also act as a solubilizer and help improve the texture of the formula. Glycolipids are lipids that help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and support the skin barrier. They also help maintain the skin’s moisture balance and contribute to a smoother, more conditioned skin feel.
How to use TFIT Cover Up Pro Concealer?
TFIT recommends rubbing the shades together with your fingers to warm up and melt the texture before applying the product to the areas that need coverage. I recommend applying it on top of your makeup. However, once you’ve mixed and warmed up the product with your fingers, transfer the melted formula onto the back of your hand and use a foundation brush to apply it directly to your face.
How does TFIT Cover Up Pro Concealer work?
I don’t usually write such detailed reviews of makeup products, and this one won’t be particularly long. TFIT sold over 15 million units of this concealer across different shades, according to data from May 2024. The formula has also received several awards, including the 2024 Hwahae Beauty Awards and Powder Room Awards.
The formula melts easily and is waterproof. According to the brand, 66% of the formula is made up of skincare ingredients, and it provides long-lasting wear.
It’s not the lightest formula, but this is a concealer, not a foundation. The product doesn’t have too many negative reviews, and when people do dislike it, it’s often because they didn’t warm up and melt the formula before applying it to the skin.
Yes, touching your makeup might not be the most hygienic way to apply it, but that’s why you should clean your hands before using the product. You can also use 70% isopropyl alcohol to keep the surface of the product clean. If you’re only using it on your own face, though, I wouldn’t be overly concerned - just remember to wash your hands before application.
The brand wasn’t joking when it described this formula as long-lasting. You may need to double cleanse to completely remove it from your skin once it dries. Some people may also find the texture a little too drying.
My personal take is that 01 Neutral is a bit too dark and warm for me, but I’m aware that I’m quite pale.
