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!

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!

Pros:

- Good coverage
- Looks natural
- Matte but gives a natural glow

Cons:

-Dries fast while your applying it
-Hard to work with
-Expensive

This foundation has reduced the bumps on my face a bit, it looks natural at the same time as it covers well. I aam 70% sure I would buy it again, the biggest con would be the price in my opinion..but I think it will last for a long time. I use a little bit all over my face, and a bit more as concealer :)

Pros:

I have moderate to severe acne, including some cystic acne, and a lot of facial redness. This goes on smooth to cover my acne and redness and looks natural all day long! A lot of makeup starts to wear off during the day, but not this one. The small bottle also seems to last forever, and I've been using this everyday for months. Also, it contains some acne medication -- but it isn't overdrying at all. Great product

Cons:

$27 a bottle (but the bottle lasts a lot longer than you would think)

Worth the money for the great coverage

Pros:

Didn't look cakey, oily or dry.
Easy to apply.
Stays on all day through all the dancing, soccer and school.
Get it with a powder because it helps the make-up set and stuff too.

Cons:

Expensive.. but thats just coz I live in Australia :|

I use it with the acne solutions cleaning stuff as well. In comparison to my old maybelline make-up I was using its brilliant. It also helped clear some of my acne up, mainly on my forehead. It also feels nice on your face and doesn't feel oily or just rub off when you put your hand on your face or something... I got gifts with it too like a free mascara, all these other cleaning products, blush, eyeshadow and lipgloss so if you want to get it, buy it when they have their gift time etc.

If you want a "skin clearing" foundation this is it
I don't think this actually cleared my skin any, or at all for that matter, but it's an "acne" foundation, so if finding that word somewhere on the package is detrimental to you then this is your foundation. I'm a medium skin tone and I have heard complaints from the fairer skin tones, but that seems to be an issue across the board with foundations, so don't get discouraged. I don't use this foundation anymore because I don't think it's extraordinary and I don't want to pay for brand or the fact that it's an "acne solution". It does have great coverage and has great staying power. That being said if you have drier skin you'll need to make sure you're wearing an adequate moisturizer and if you're oily, baby you already know you're face is gonna be oily in four hours regardless of what foundation you wear, so pack the powder. I do like this and I think it's good, but I think there drugstore foundations that are just as good at half the price they just don't have "acne" on them.

Pros:

Very good coverage, matches well with my skin tone, fights acne while on your skin, stays on all day, doesn't make skin look too oily or dry

Cons:

A little weary about putting on under eye since it contains benzoyl peroxide and your not supposed to put any harsh chemicals under eye, however, no problems have occured!
At first, my eyes took a reaction; red, puffy and dry but upon further use there has been no more of that!
Rubs off easily, tears, sweat or water make lines in the makeup

Very pleased with this product, it makes my skin very even-toned, great coverage and covers acne very well while fighing it!

Pros:

- Great buildable coverage: I would say one thin layer gives you medium coverage but it can easily be built up for more without looking cakey
- Treats acne while wearing it: Although I'm unsure how well it treats acne, it makes me feel better that my foundation is anti acne
- Controls oil: This product controls oil like no other!
- Long lasting: Looks natural and stays on the face all day
- Easy to use packaging

Cons:

- Limited shade selection: not nearly enough shades to get a good color match

If you're struggling with acne, try out this foundation. Clinique has a great return policy, if it doesn't work for you, just return it! I know I'm not supposed to be wearing foundation especially with my skin condition but this product has anti-acne properties which makes me feel a lot better about wearing it. Even though I don't see huge results with this product alone in terms of clearing up my acne, I can definitely say it did not do more harm. If anything my skin has been improving (but I'm using a combination of many different products). Great foundation for oily skin. This really controls oil! Overall great product and I would definitely recommend it!!!

The only foundation I will use
Although I do not think this is something that should be used as a treatment for acne, I believe it is something that should be used in combination with your skin clearing routine if you want to wear makeup. It won't cause breakouts, it's gentle, and it soothes irritated skin throughout the day. When I have this on, I feel like I'm fighting my acne all day and preventing anything new from forming under my skin. I apply with a foundation brush on top of my moisturizer and then use skin-clearing pressed powder, followed by finishing powder. If I do have a problem zit, this does a decent job providing coverage. When I'm using Clinique, I know that I am not putting anything on my skin that is harsh or will clog my pores. I have been using this for months and have nothing negative to say about it. I wear a decent amount of makeup and have sensitive skin - but because I use Clinique, my skin does not break out. The only downside is that it's a little expensive, so I try to be as conservative as possible when I apply it.

Pros:

Great Coverage
Small Amount Lasts Long

Cons:

Can look orangy if isn't applied correctly.

Great coverage for dark spots/acne. Expensive brand but will work with what's best for your skin type/color to get good results.
