In the past I have used this product every day for weeks, and in my opinion it is the best makeup for acne prone skin the drug stores have. It applies well,

Pros

  • Dries out zits
  • Not oily
  • Looks good all day

Cons

  • Causes breakouts (when used consistently)
  • A little drying (if you don't put moisturizer first)
  • for about a month
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I had this foundation, but found that it did absolutely nothing for my skin, and it was terrible as a foundation too! It was too oily, and looked oily even after applying a generous layer of powder over top. It felt greasy and heavy on my skin and the coverage wasn't good at all, seeing as this is supposed to be formulated for acne prone skin. It smells AWFUL too, overall a terrible product in my eyes.

Pros

[not submitted]

Cons

  • Oily, Shiny finish
  • Did nothing for my skin
  • Too little coverage
  • for a few months
  • $ 9
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

Use a hydrant first for smoothness. At first, I only used their pressed powder Then I started buying this close to a yr ago in med beige and its been one of the 2 types of foundations I use! I had moderate-severe acne & now i have light/ moderate :) LOVE this!

Pros

  • Reduces shine/ oil
  • Reduces pimple sizes
  • Great light/light med coverage
  • Helps with light redness i have
  • Can use alone

Cons

  • None for a liquid :) Tho, First one i got was a shade too light
  • moderate
  • for about a year
  • $ 11
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I think this product is amazing, because even when most makeup hides your breakouts it clogs your pores and makes you breakout even more. Not only does this not worsen breakout, but it even heals pimples while you wear it. Since I have very sensitive skin I only wear this makeup and will never wear anything else!! Life savor!

Pros

  • doesn't clog pores
  • blends over skin nicely
  • helps reduce pimple size

Cons

  • doesn't work as fast of as a spot treatment, but still helps!
  • light
  • for a few months
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I've tried a few acne face washes with NOOO luck. I'm a fan of Neutrogena on Facebook and they were advertising this, so I gave it a whirl. To my utter surprise--it works GREAT! I saw OVERNIGHT results...it dried out my pimples, but didn't make my face peel. It also covers the (now) few pimples I have VERY good. Once you get it totally blended, nobody even notices the small pimples. From a few feet away, my skin looks 100% clear...but even up close there's really nothing I'm hiding. This skin clearing makeup worked amazing for me and I will continue to use!

Pros

  • Clears my skin, covers and blends very well

Cons

  • None!!!!
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Because of this make up I went from having moderate acne with occasional flare ups to severe, to having mild acne with occasional flare ups to moderate. I don't use anything else on my face except a mild cleanser, blush, and sometimes a medicated concealer. It's freedom! lol

This product definitely works for me! I was too embarrassed about my acne to go without foundation, but foundation always made my acne worse! I'm so grateful for this product, because now I don't have to choose!

Pros

  • clears up acne/prevents breakouts
  • covers existing acne
  • looks nice/no shine

Cons

  • sometimes doesn't blend well or looks orangish
  • not available in many drugstores :(
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I don't recommend this foundation. If you are trying to go for a natural look and making it seem like you are really not wearing any makeup at all, this is not the way to go.

Pros

  • Easy to apply and seems to blend in well.

Cons

  • Looked terrible after a few hours.
  • When it dried, it changed the tint of my skin to an orange hue.
  • light
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 10
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.
