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.

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 :/

My back-up foundation.
I have dry, sensitive skin and it has never caused my breakouts to get worse. This is more of a light/medium coverage foundation that works for when I just feel like covering some particularly bad spots. The color is probably the worst thing about this foundation, it's fine when I first apply but after a few hours it seems to get darker (more orange in my case). I've never had trouble blending it but definitely not a creamy foundation. Shouldn't be used as treatment (why would you do that??). Overall just a meh foundation. You're better off trying to find a drugstore foundation that you love.

Disappointed
Been using this foundation for almost 3 months and still breaking out. Not worth the money

Pros:

Cover well
didn't break me out

Cons:

cakey
really pink undertones
hard to build up
oxidizes into a darker shade

This was overall an average product for my skin, however it was wayy too pink for my yellow complexion. It's also quite hard to build up as it did tend to get cakey. Also, it oxidizes into a shade darker so you have to buy a shade lighter. The great thing was that it didn't break me out.

Not the foundation for me but don't rule out Clinique entirely!
This foundation gave me light-medium coverage, dried up my skin and left me with more blackheads and rough patches. However, I did find my skin was less oily at the end of the day than my skin is with other foundations. Clinique do a wide range of oil free foundations and even though not aimed at acne prone skin I am finding their stay matte oil-free make up to be best for my skin right now.

Hmmm
Prior to acne, I always wore a lighter coverage clinique foundation. I switched to this after my massive hormonal breakouts when Accutane failed. As others have stated, it does not blend well, however, it does work well to hide my redness. I will continue to use it for a bit just to see...

Hey I am considering doing accutane and have already started the process, do you think it is worth trying? I have heard both really good and really bad outcomes and do not want to make my skin worse as I am now only getting about one cystic pimple a week, yet I am 21 and would like to just be done with it forever.

Pros:

Buildable coverage
Doesn't make you break out!
Smells good

Cons:

Orangish tint
Doesn't blend good
Feels very thick ( inless applied with a wet sponge)

It's good but you could probably find something with a better feeling and less orangish tint
