Dermacol, an original Czech brand, was started in the Barrandov Film Studios in 1966.
Soon, film studio experts teamed with dermatologists from the Medical Cosmetics Institute in Prague.
The joint efforts of cosmetic specialists, who based their trade on medical principles, and film make-up experts were very successful. 55 years ago, Dermacol Make-up Cover, the first Dermacol product, which has brought the brand international recognition and is still highly valued, was created as the first foundation of its kind in Europe and one of the first in the world.
The license for this foundation was eventually sold to Hollywood in 1969.
“In 1965, a mother with a child came to our institute. The child had a large port-wine stain and white non-pigmented spots. We did not have laser at that time, so how were we supposed to cover the spots?” recalls Olga.
“We turned to Mr. Boublík, who at that time was the head of the laboratory for the development and manufacturing of film make-up products in the Barrandov Film Studios. He actually started researching the issue and after many trials, a clinically tested high-coverage make-up, Dermacol Make-Up Cover, was developed one year later. It was available in ten different shades at that time. The product’s name came about logically – it is applied to the skin (derma) and stains it (color), which gave rise to Dermacol. The name became so widely known that it started to be identified with foundation. I am happy that I witnessed the birth of the brand and later the entire Dermacol company.”
“At a dermatologic congress held in 1967, I was demonstrating how to cover a large nevus (mole) on the face of a 20-year old medical student.
The student saw herself in the mirror without this skin defect for the first time ever in her life. She burst into tears of surprise and joy. I used this product myself to cover freckles, which were not in style at that time.”
Thanks to its rich, creamy, preservative-free consistency with a high content of pigments (more than 50%), this clinically tested high coverage foundation will even your skin tone and cover any skin imperfections and defects and makes the skin appear silky smooth.
It is waterproof, hypoallergenic and preservative-free. It is very easily tolerated by your skin, so it is suitable for all skin types, even for sensitive skin, and provides effective protection against UV rays (SPF 30) and harmful environmental effects. Because of its great properties and durability, it is widely used by professional make-up artists for photo or film shoots, modelling, festive occasions, etc.
Throughout the 55-year history of the Dermacol brand, it has been unique and the most successful product. It is sold in more than 70 countries all over the world today and is still produced under the control of Dermacol’s own traditional European laboratories.
Where to buy
You can apply it not only to your entire face, but also on your body if you need to correct your skin tone (to make it either lighter or darker) or cover skin defects. Dermacol Make-Up Cover has a long-lasting effect and perfectly covers both minor and major skin imperfections, even in a thin layer.
For the best results, to get the perfect look for your skin for the whole day, it is recommended that you use Dermacol Make-up Cover in combination with White Magic Blurring Active Primer as the first step to prepare your skin for the application of a foundation. After applying the foundation, fix it with Invisible Fixing powder as the last step. Your skin will be perfectly polished and have a velvety matte look.
