About The Product

What is it exactly?

DermMatch is a cosmetic hair loss concealer. It's a hard-packed powdered formula that's safe and healthful for your skin and hair. It's loaded with emollients and botanical ingredients that soothe and moisturize. DermMatch contains only safe colorants and no hair dye.

How does it work?

DermMatch is loaded with botanical ingredients that coat every hair shaft, making thin hairs stand up and spread out for spectacular fullness. DermMatch also colors your scalp in areas of thin hair and small bald areas, making the scalp disappear.

How long does it last?

Each application lasts until you shampoo. Each DermMatch container (one disc) lasts, on average, eight months. Eight months is the average reorder time among DermMatch customers. All hair loss concealers will use-up more quickly if you are covering a larger area and using them more often. Spray, sprinkle and lotion concealers don't last nearly as long as DermMatch. They are filled with propellant, air and water and they will cost you much more to use.

How many colors are there?

DermMatch comes in eight blendable colors. They can match any natural hair color. Our color chart and color selection advice appear on the top, right side of the FAQ page.

How is DermMatch different from hair fibers, sprays or lotion hair loss concealers?

If you've tried hair fibers, sprays or lotion hair loss concealers, you'll love DermMatch. It looks better, stays on better, applies neater and even costs you less to use. DermMatch is the only hair loss concealer with a precision applicator. It's the only one that coats the entire hair shaft with botanical hair-thickening agents. It's the only one that allows you to swim, sweat or brush your hair. It's also the only solid hair loss concealer, so when you buy DermMatch you're not paying for air, propellant or water.

Medical & Safety

Will this affect my hair loss?

DermMatch does not grow hair nor does it impede the growth of hair. Both hair loss and hair growth are subdermal, occurring beneath the skin's surface.

Eight Blendable Colors

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If you're wondering what color to buy, look in the mirror. Look at your hair root color in the area of loss. This is the color to match. If you dye your hair one color, match that color. If you have highlighted ends with darker roots, match the root color.

If your hair color falls between shades or if your hair is turning grey, you can blend colors. Like an artist's palette, all DermMatch colors are blendable. Blend the colors right on the tip of your applicator or apply one color on top of the other for a perfect, blended match.

Can't make it to the salon in time? If you have grey roots popping out or grey hair anywhere, we've got you covered. DermMatch colors grey hair instantly. Just rub it on the hair. The effect is temporary, until you shampoo. DermMatch contains only safe colorants and no hair dye.
