I'm guessing because it is a medicated makeup it does not mix well with the bp lotion iv been using...if you dont use any medicated creams with bp i think this might be okay and even might clear up acne...check this site out for more reviews!

I love this makeup. I had very bad, very oily skin, and this is the only makeup I used. I never broke out from it (in fact, you cannot break out from this makeup because it is non-comedogenic), and it took care of my "shiny" skin that embarrassed me. It helped heal my skin too. The only thing is that since I have fair skin, it was difficult to completely cover up the redness from the zits; for that, I used a mineral powder and a makeup brush to lightly brush powder over the top of the pimple. This in combination with the neutrogena makeup made my face look so much better! Do not use if you have sensitive skin though-it can dry out skin very quickly!

Pros

  • clears up acne
  • no shine
  • covers well
  • non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)

Cons

  • a little pricey
  • moderate
  • for about a year
  • $ 14
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I don't know if this is the actual product I tried, but I loved it! When I had severe acne, this is the only makeup I used; my skin used to be very oily, and this would prevent the "shine" in pictures. I never had problems with it making me break out, and it would go onto my skin and seem to whick away the oil. NOT for sensitive skin though-this is a makeup that WILL dry out skin, but I never had sensitive skin. Always put on moisturizers before putting on this makeup to ensure smooth coverage.

Pros

  • my face was not greasy at all!
  • dries up zits pretty fast
  • matched my skin shade pretty well
  • did not clog pores
  • salicilic acid medication

Cons

  • expensive
  • if you have fair skin, it is hard to cover the redness from your zits (zits look smaller but they are still red)
  • may dry out sensitive skin
  • moderately severe
  • for more than a year
  • $ 14
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have not used this make-up in a while, but when I did I was very disappointed with it. It had a strong fragrance and felt greasy going on. I also did not notice any reduction in acne; it may have even worsened my complexion to some extent.

Pros

  • provided okay coverage

Cons

  • heavy fragrance
  • oily feeling
  • did not clear skin
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 10
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

I got this because I thought that it would help heal my acne during the day and control oil (since it has salycylic acid) but it didn't! I made every pimple that I had bigger after I took it off!

Pros

  • didn't find any

Cons

  • this broke me out (and I think it's because it has talc!)
  • this is on the expensive side for drugstore foundations
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 12
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

It really does help with oil control so I think it is worth trying. I will probably get it again (in a lighter shade).

Pros

  • blends skin into an even tone and makes skin less oily.

Cons

  • I'm not sure if it actually clears or treats acne. and does not cover zits well, but I also think I got too dark of a shade so I'm not 100% sure.
  • severe
  • $ 8
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Pros

Cons

  • $ 10
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

Dont buy it. i put this on and i have pretty bad acne and a red prone face and honestly i wouldve been better off not wearing it at all and thats saying something. i was so dissapointed. i recommend almay stick concealer it kinda looks like its in a lipsgloss container, but it gets darker as the day goes on so i had to stop using it. but if you have tan skin i def. recommend it,

Pros

  • Nothing!

Cons

  • just awful
  • moderately severe
  • for about a month
  • $ 12
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.
