I was replacing 3 drop in sinks in my own home and removed one of them too quickly and the countertop "tore" about an inch and a half, just like paper.
You can see a photo of it in my Pictures. It's called "torn counter".
What is the best product or way or hiding this? Thanks.

Use a larger or different shaped sink. You could also try using some plastic laminate seam filler to try making it less obvious. --72.93.xxx.x |

Bathroom sink?
New counter top? Caulk?

You could screw down or glue down a nice wooden cutting board to cover. --73.33.xxx.xxx |

It's a bathroom sink.
I think I may try the seam filler. Thanks. --72.188.xxx.xx |

Had a bad burn mark on the counter near the stove once in a rental and laid a piece of stainless steel I had laying around. Wasn't sure how that would go over but as it turned out the ladies that saw it would comment to their guy's "Oh look it's a built-in stainless cutting board." 3 showings and it was rented. --174.232.xxx.xx |

I've had the same thing happen.
If you still have all the pieces, use contact cement to replace the torn out piece.
Put contact cement on both the piece and the counter top. Let the cement dry, them press the piece into place. Should stick permanently. I can't see where I patched my laminate countertop.

Glenn I stuck it down with superglue. I just want to make it so it isn't visible (or at least less visible).
A piece didn't actually get torn out. It is more like a hairline crack. --72.188.xxx.xx |

I didn't see the photos so I'm not sure how bad it is but you can buy countertop paint from Lowes/Home Depot (Rustoleum brand?). --99.182.xx.xxx |

As above, try to glue down and you can google seamfil for tubes of caulk that can touch up the edges. They have colors to match most modern laminate products. --173.15.xx.xxx |
