flaws
Explanation:
You can use flaws to cover a lot of different things!
This site has a whole list of products:
"Natural, light reflecting all-day-wear coverage for all skin flaws including blemishes, age spots, scars or uneven skin tone."
For cellulite, you can also put "dimpling" or "dimpled skin".

The second site also uses "flaws" and there are plenty of other sites as well.

minor esthetic defects


Explanation:
The definition of "inestetismo" is: "piccolo difetto estetico, spec. fisico: un inestetismo del viso, della pelle."

Reference: www.demauroparavia.it/56117

I have used the search engine Google and have found out that the term "esthetic defects" appears in 29 English websites. Here are 2 examples of its usage:
1. "Those products correct the esthetic defects of the skin."
2. "ulceration can cause serious functional or esthetic defects."
