Don't cause yourself the anxiety and depression of further breakouts
After reading so many positive reviews and being adviced that this foundation was exactly what I was looking for ; high coverage or acne scarring whilst not causing further breakouts (which every liquid foundation seems to cause me). Well this took it to a new level after two days I have been left with seven of the most angry aggressive spots you could imagin aswell as ruined skin with spots that are likley to leave red marks for months the product also ruined my make brushes. I was sure to cleanse my face properly with my usual routine after wearing this and by half way through the second day I could feel a couple of spots coming up through the skin and didn't use the product for that third day, this didn't help. Also without the major breakout the foundation isnt great: 1. IT CAUSES UNREAL BREAKOUTS 2. It does not blend well 3. Coverage is not buildable as it is very cakey 4. It doesn't blend at the hair line 5. Drys very quickly 5. It darkens in colour during the day 6. YOU WILL RUIN YOUR MAKE UP BRUSHES WITH THIS PRODUCT I had to give this 1 start but if I could I would have opted for -10. PLEASE DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT IF YOU TEND TO BREAKOUT!!!

good coverage
This is a great foundation if you have acne. It covers great! The reason I put a no to why I wouldnt buy it again is because the color selection, there is nothing for my yellow undertones. They are all too pinky and peachy color for me. I love the coverage! I wish they would make more yellow base colors.

mehh
I didn't even wait to see if it worked well with my acne because i hate how it looked... I could notice every pore of my face when I used it, and the coverage is awful. It's also really hard to apply...

Pros:

*Great coverage
*Does not break me out
*Treats active spots

Cons:

*Not buildable - need an even application everywhere
*Drying
*Flakey and peeling after an hour
*Colour matching is hard
*Thick so need to be wary of tide lines on jaw
*EXPENSIVE - £21 (sterling)

I am in two minds about this foundation. On the one hand, it is the only foundation I have used which doesn't break me out. A bonus is that it actually combats my active spots. Unfortunately you can't just use it on problem areas - I need to apply a careful even coverage all over my face. If I apply more heavily to any part of my face it appears darker and therefore dirty The biggest issue I have is that it cracks and flakes around my mouth. I moisturise with Cetaphil prior to application, my skin is not flakey or dry without makeup. After an hour of smiling and talking I get a crazy paving effect around my mouth. On the whole, I am impressed with the foundation for preventing break outs.. But I am disappointed with the cracking. I would recommend to people who have acne anywhere other than the chin and mouth area.

Pros:

- Buildable coverage
- It goes on really well, covers blemishes completely and zaps the redness
- Matte finish
- Contains Salycilic Acid

Cons:

- Be careful around jaw/chin area for foundation lines

Works really well! Is very buildable and zaps redness on the spot and gives a great matte finish without feeling heavy. Just make sure to rub it in around the jaw and chin area so you don't get foundation lines!

Hate/love it
Doesn't leave ur skin oily, so use a good moisturizer under. It drys on ur skin (which is sometimes a good and bad thing). I use the fairest shade but still it oxidizes and darkens, makes me acne so much more noticeable. It's good coverage tho and from all the foundations I've used I keep coming back to this. I just wish I had better skin so I could do without ANY of these stupid foundations :/

Breaks me out!!
Coverage of this foundation is good (but the colour is only good when I have a tan, the palest colour is still too dark for my winter skin). BUT it breaks me out!! This is crazy since it's the opposite of what it should do. I have been acne free for about 5 months now due to finding the right pill, but still have lots of red marks and scars. Every time, on the very same days when I put this on my face I end up with one or two spots for the first time in months. I ordinarily use estee lauder DW and I will continue to do so as it doesn't break me out at all now, unlike this one. On top of breaking me out this foundation doesn't last all day like others of the same price and it continues to feel sort of sticky on my face. I can always feel it when I wear it, and I would expect MUCH better of a product this price. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Pros:

Controls OIL!!
helps treat acne while I'm wearing it
natural and long wearing

Cons:

no cons!

I must suggest a foundation brush by clinique to apply the foundation. The foundation brush has an anti bacterial coating on the brush so you won't get bacteria on your face! It's natural, stays on my face all day, and it doesn't feel super gross while controlling oil, I'm SOOOO OILY! This foundation is GREATTTTT!! Clinique was a genius for this!
