broke out my skin
Hi! I switched to this after maybeline discontinued my favorite powder.I love the coverage this gives but I realized after switching to a different powder ( physicians formula was on sale) that it was causing my face to breakout. I was an everyday user and after two weeks of not using it my face has cleared.

Pros:

Soaks up sweat/oil
Covers acne and PiH
Has an SPF

Cons:

Flakes if my skin is very dry

My acne has bounced from severe to cleared but I can always use this product. It looks natural with the right color (and if my face isn't terribly dry).

Pros:

Looks some what natural, but only if you find the right color. It feels very nateal. Tones skin when make up is on.

Cons:

Doesn't cover redness on pimples. Hard to find the right color

I do recommend this but only if you have a good conseler. I tried ulta minerals from ulta and was not impressed at all, it didnt cover anything. So I guess this product is the best foundation that I have ever tried.

Pros:

Doesn't cause breakouts
looks natural (if you get the right color)
easier to remove than regular foundation

Cons:

Doesn't cover acne very well

I love this foundation! While it doesn't hide my acne, it's the only kind of foundation I can use that doesn't irritate my skin.

Pros:

Color blends in with skin tone
face isn't greasy during the day
didn't break me out during the first week I wore it
isn't cakey and looks natural

Cons:

the applicator wore out too quickly and didn't last long.
made skin around my nose peel resulting in big flaky pieces of dry skin after I took the product off and washed my face!!!

it didn't clear up my skin a week later my skin had gotten worse but it reduces the appearance of acne, especially if you have acne scars or redness

Pros:

I found the perfect color. "nude" . On sale for 9.99

Cons:

Im on the regimen so It looks powdery over my Regimen product. I feel like you can see my pores around my nose area more. Feels light and not cakey.

I love anywhere by Prescriptives, but they went out of business so I decided to try this. I read reviews but it twasnt as great as the reviews stated. I have light heat bumps and I am not sure how people who have sever acne are able to get away with this and I cant. I use a blush brush to apply and blow the hairdryer on cool to get the powder look away. When I do that its better. I feel like if I was off the regimen then I would recomend this product, but if your doing it and you have dry skin then it might not help as much. But it feels light so i will give it longer tiime

Pros:

Where do I start?
- It doesn't break me out
- It applies well
- It travels well and the container is nice
- Drugstores/grocery stores usually carry it
- Doubles as a foundation or powder

Cons:

Absolute NONE.

I bought this in the beginning because I had a coupon for $2.00 off a Neutrogena foundation or blush. I have used this powder for about two years now, and when I get a wild hair and buy something new, I realize just how great this stuff truly is. My face breaks out and then I go back to this and it clears back up. I use this as a powder OVER foundation, even though it's supposed to be a foundation by itself. You could use it that way, I suppose, but I have ridiculously oily skin. This makes my face look flawless and pore-free. Most powders usually clog my pores (even though they are non-comedogenic), but this one doesn't even say non-comedogenic, but it most certainly is. I recommend this all the time when people compliment my complexion; I would SERIOUSLY consider dishing out the money for this. I also use the Neutrogen 3-step Acne Solutions face wash/BP/lotion, and every box has a coupon for $2.00 off a Neutrogen foundation or blush, so that often helps defer the cost of this. Bottom line: I stand by this product and would pay twice this much if I had to. It's THAT good. I simply cannot say enough good things about this or any other Neutrogena products.

Pros:

This is the best makeup I have ever used. I have moderately severe-severe acne on my face, and I use Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 10 to keep it under control, and it does a very good job. However, when I put on makeup, it's a nightmare, because I have very oily skin. The Persa-Gel controls a alot of the oil, but I still have a significant amount of oil with makeup, and it seemed like I would experience 3 or 4 new breakouts everytime I put on makeup. With Neutrogena, I don't have any!

Cons:

For me, there's really none.

This is the best makeup for acne I have ever used.
