Camouflage Makeup
Innovative Oxygen-Promoting Technology
Common makeup foundations that are water, oil, or mineral based are occlusive--they can suffocate and clog pores which prevents skin from breathing and functioning naturally. Dermacia MD's unique cosmetics address this problem. Lycogel Camouflage and Concealer are the first silica-gel based products formulated with LYCD. In recent clinical tests of leading brands, Lycogel Camouflage was shown to be the ONLY foundation to increase the delivery of essential oxygen to the wearer's skin, up to 3 times more than wearing nothing at all.*
- Lycogel Complex: Lycogel contains Saccharomyces Lysate Extract also known as LYCD (Live Yeast Cell Derivative) or TRF (Tissue Respiratory Factor). LYCD stimulates skin cells to absorb oxygen and produce protective enzymes. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and moisturizing agent that reduces swelling and promotes wound healing.
- Triple Silica-Gel Base: Dermacia's patent-pending triple silica-gel base allows skin to breathe. Under magnification, the makeup appears as a breathable mesh-like cover that allows air and moisture through to reach your skin. The base works with the Lycogel Complex to increase the oxygen amount reaching your skin by as much as 308%.*
Science-Based, Top-Quality Ingredients
The pharmaceutical grade ingredients in Lycogel are tested in a 12 Point Purity Evaluation, ensuring that it meets every international purity standard. The products contain titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and essential moisturizers to protect and hydrate your skin, even after swimming or heavy exercise. Since free radicals can damage skin, Lycogel is formulated with antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and E. Vitamin A helps regulate skin growth, improves skin moisture content, and promotes skin cell renewal. Vitamin C helps produce collagen, promotes firm skin tone, and supports your skin's immune system. And Vitamin E protects your skin's moisture barrier, smoothes skin surface, and reduces skin inflammation.

Cover-up Throughout Your Recovery
Lycogel Camouflage and Concealer are the first makeup products that can be safely applied immediately after cosmetic procedures that cause redness, swelling, bruising, or peeling. Lycogel's exclusive oxygenating ingredients are proven to help you recover faster by encouraging essential moisture and oxygen back into your skin's treated zones while creating the illusion of flawless skin.
Untouched photos from a study using a split face test evaluating the effects of Lycogel Camouflage makeup following a 30% TCA Chemical peel. Lycogel was applied on the patient’s left side immediately after the procedure and daily during the healing period. The right side was left untreated (no makeup applied) during healing. The Lycogel side showed a 2-day advancement in recovery over the non-treated side.
Safe to use following most cosmetic procedures including:
- Chemical Peels or Dermabrasion
- CO2 Laser Treatments
- Facial Surgery Bruising
- Rhinoplasty or Eye Surgery
- Laser Hair Removal
- Skin Resurfacing or Scar Revision
- Acne/Rosacea Treatments

Non-Irritating Relief for Sensitive Skin
Traditional oil, cream, and water-based cosmetics smother your skin and often contain alcohol-based preservatives known to cause irritation. Lycogel's unique, gel-based formula is clinically proven to be hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, and non-irritating to people with rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, acne, or extremely sensitive skin. In fact, users often comment that wearing Lycogel has even improved the appearance of their skin when they are not wearing makeup.
Camouflage Foundation Colors
Lycogel Camouflage can be applied in one layer for light, natural coverage, or it can be applied in buildable layers for heavier custom coverage. The following colors are available: Ivory, Creme, Beige, Honey, Taupe, Mocha, Tawny, and Ebony. Lycogel's scientifically proven Cross Pigment Factor Color System measures the undertones and hues of your skin so your shade will blend in perfectly.
Water resistant for up to 90 minutes of swimming, the makeup will last all day, protect your face with SPF 30, and will not rub off (transfer) onto clothing. A clinical test showed that Lycogel Camouflage is from 2 to 13 times more Transfer Resistant than the following competitors: Neutrogena, Prescriptives, Dermablend, M.A.C., and Bare Minerals.*
Lycogel Concealer
After determining your perfect shade of foundation, choose the coordinating Yellow-based or Blue-based concealer to match. Lycogel Concealer's triple pigmentation virtually erases imperfections. For spot coverage, apply it in areas needing heavier coverage. It provides breathable concentrated coverage to disguise bruising, redness, scars, age spots, dark circles, or any other problem areas. The Lycogel Complex reduces swelling and inflammation, and soothes sensitive skin.
