Decent product for the price

Pros:

Lasts all day
Doesn't cause breakouts
Moderate coverage

Cons:

Not a wide range of skin tones

I used to use Covergirl oil free foundation but switched to this because of clogged pores on my forehead. It doesn't cause breakouts like other foundations. It contains a small amount of salicylic acid, so if you respond to that it may even help you. If you've got sensitive skin don't use this around your eyes. (It can be drying. Use a regular foundation around your eyes and blend the two.) Overall, not bad and offers decent coverage.

Pros:

- lightweight
- lots of colors to choose from
- skin didnt seem to get worse [ but also didnt get any better ]
- easy to find at CVS and pretty much any drugstore
- price is not awful

Cons:

- rubs off really easily
- you have to have some practice with a sponge or it can look streaky/ unnatural
-after using this product for two years i realized that it has talc AND parabens in it.!!
- in high school i had severe acne, and it is now moderate in college. i recently switched to a talc and paraben free makeup and my moderate acne is now mild, and i pretty much only break out right before my period along with a few zits

this is definetly better than brands like MAC and REVLON and such... but i would definitely recommend a talc AND paraben free makeup!! you might be really surprised with the difference!!

Pros:

helps with acne
smooth feeling
last fairly well

Cons:

doesn't cover blemishes too well
needs to be blended well

the salicylic acid in this foundation is a great help for acne, this foundation does show flakes and dryness though, I found that it didn't do as much as I'd like for redness concealment

Pros:

Fairly inexpensive, matches skin, isn't making acne worse

Cons:

Not great coverage, can dry out skin

I'll keep working to give it a chance (just started using it last week). If you have mild acne, it would probably have enough coverage, but for severe acne, it won't cut it.
