Jane Iredale Circle Delete Concealer 3 2,8g

Gold-brown concealer for dark hyperpigmentation on medium-dark to deep skin

On medium-dark and deep skin tones, hyperpigmentation often appears as dark brown spots — post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after acne or eczema, melasma, or age spots that are more intense and stubborn on melanin-rich skin. These dark brown discolorations are not neutralized by a peach or yellow concealer; those would actually stand out as a light spot on the skin. What is needed is a gold-brown shade with enough depth to lift the spot without creating a lighter or ashy contrast.

Jane Iredale Circle Delete 3 is a gold/brown concealer with a creamy texture, specially formulated for this issue. The depth of the shade blends seamlessly into medium-dark and deep skin, visually softening dark brown pigment spots without creating a new color break. The formula also cares for the skin with Moringa, avocado, and sunflower seed oils — rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E — while green tea extract and grape seed extract counteract oxidative stress, a key factor in maintaining hyperpigmentation on dark skin.

Color: A gold/brown shade that neutralizes dark brown hyperpigmentation and pigment spots on medium-dark to deep skin tones.

Active ingredients

Moringa, Avocado, and Sunflower Seed Oils: A trio of nourishing oils rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E that keep the skin supple and hydrated. Important for medium-dark to deep skin because a compromised skin barrier often correlates with intensified pigment reactions.

Cucumber & Green Tea extract: Two calming ingredients with cooling and anti-inflammatory effects. On dark skin, this reduces prolonged inflammatory reactions, which are a major cause of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Bisabolol: A natural soothing ingredient derived from chamomile that reduces irritation and sensitivity. Especially valuable after acne or inflammation, when the skin is extra prone to forming lasting dark brown spots.

Pine Bast (Pinus Strobus) & Sea Fennel (Crithmum Maritimum) extract: Two plant-based antioxidants that protect the skin against oxidative stress — a key factor in maintaining and worsening hyperpigmentation on dark skin.

Ascorbyl Palmitate (vitamin C derivative): A fat-soluble form of vitamin C that contributes to a more even skin tone and optically lightens pigment spots over time.

How to use it

1. Cleanse and care for the skin with your daily routine
2. Apply your usual serum, moisturizer, and sun protection and let it absorb well
3. Take a small amount of Jane Iredale Circle Delete 3 with the Concealer Brush
4. Apply the gold-brown concealer directly to the dark brown spot — whether it’s a post-acne spot, melasma, or age spot
5. Gently blend out by tapping towards the edges until the edge is no longer visible
6. Follow with your foundation or powder for extra coverage and fixation
7. Finish in the morning with sun protection — UV exposure deepens existing dark brown spots

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Circle Delete 3 and Circle Delete 4?

Circle Delete 3 is a gold-brown shade that neutralizes dark brown pigment spots. Circle Delete 4 is a peach gold shade that cancels out gray discolorations on deep skin. Choose Circle Delete 3 if your spot has a clearly brown tint, and Circle Delete 4 if your circles or discolorations look more gray or dull on your skin.

Does Circle Delete 3 also work for dark circles under the eyes?

On medium-dark to deep skin, dark circles can indeed have a brown undertone — unlike the blue circles on light skin. For brown circles, Jane Iredale Circle Delete 3 works well. If the circles are more grayish, choose Circle Delete 4. For camouflaging dark circles with added SPF protection, the Enlighten Plus No. 3 or No. 4 tubes are a stronger alternative.

Can I mix Circle Delete 3 with other colors?

Yes, the Circle Delete line is deliberately designed so the colors can be mixed with each other. For example, mix Jane Iredale Circle Delete 3 with a little bit of 4 for a shade between the two colors, or with 2 to camouflage a pigment spot and surrounding blue circle in one layer. Mix on the back of your hand or directly on the spot with the Concealer Brush.

Is Circle Delete Concealer vegan?

No, Circle Delete is not vegan. The formula contains beeswax (Cera Alba) as a natural structuring agent that enables the creamy texture and durability. The product is gluten-free.
