Pros:

-doesn't clog pores
-blends over skin nicely
-helps reduce pimple size

Cons:

-doesn't work as fast of as a spot treatment, but still helps!

I think this product is amazing, because even when most makeup hides your breakouts it clogs your pores and makes you breakout even more. Not only does this not worsen breakout, but it even heals pimples while you wear it. Since I have very sensitive skin I only wear this makeup and will never wear anything else!! Life savor!

Didn't clear anything but good coverage
I've been using this foundation for about a year and I honestly don't remember if it ever broke me out. The thing is I remember after using it for the first time it just felt so much "lighter" than my previous foundation which was basically caked onto my face. I use A VERY THIN LAYER so maybe thats why it never broke me out.. Because of this I usually don't have to buy it too often, but it is pricy... SO everyone who said it broke them out maybe you were just using too much?

Pros:

Doesn't cause acne, actually eliminates pimples.

Cons:

Can be a little thick. I usually add water.

I'd use it if I were you. It's at about any drugstore and there's a bunch of different shades.

Pros:

oil-free
applies well
blends well
looks good at first

Cons:

gives oily skin throughout day -____-
doesn't actually "clear" acne

soooo, I did this because i saw it on youtube, it looks pretty good, but i would only recommend it for short-term use. don't believe the whole clears you skin thing... if you look in the ingredients it only has like 0.02% salicylic acid. i got the perfect color for my skin but when i went out in the sun it looks caked and waaaay too dark. if you do INSIST on getting this product make sure you use a primer and have the blotting pads, because it makes your skin SOOOO OILY through out the day. and get a lighter color than you actual skin! hahah (:

Pros:

clears up acne/prevents breakouts
covers existing acne
looks nice/no shine

Cons:

sometimes doesn't blend well or looks orangish
not available in many drugstores :(

Because of this make up I went from having moderate acne with occasional flare ups to severe, to having mild acne with occasional flare ups to moderate. I don't use anything else on my face except a mild cleanser, blush, and sometimes a medicated concealer. It's freedom! lol This product definitely works for me! I was too embarrassed about my acne to go without foundation, but foundation always made my acne worse! I'm so grateful for this product, because now I don't have to choose!

Pros:

-Does NOT break you out.
-Has salicylic Acid.
-can give u a sheer, medium and or full coverage.(depends how u apply it)
-wont clog pores

Cons:

-Doesnt treat acne problems
-Not so many shades.

This Product claims to help get rid of Acne. I have to disagree. It DOES help from not giving u acne like some foundations do. This foundation will give you a matte finish. If u apply with your hands it gives u a more sheer- meduim coverage. If u apply with foundation brush more of a medium coverage and with a sponge a full coverage. I totally reccommend this , I only wear conelear under my eyes with this product. I really like it. I have very acne prone skin, and when I wear this product it does not make me break out such as my other foundation Ive tried from the drug store called "photo ready". Which makes me brake out. This foundations iACTIVE ingredients are salicylic Acid 0.5 %. I dont remember how much this product is but it is very cheap. And one of the best foundations from neutrogena. (: Enjoy.!!

Foundation flop
I am a makeup junky and I normally stay away from acne-clearing makeup products because that's what my skin care routine is for, but I wanted to try this. It's really watery and has light to sheer coverage, plan on getting a concealer to use with it, because it's not going to cover any of that acne y'all. (A side note, I always wear a primer no matter what foundation I'm wearing.) This watery mess is a waste of money. The color of the makeup turns throughout the day and seems either come off or slide around even if it's set. If you're absolutely set on getting a "skin clearing" foundation then just hit up Clinique because at least you'll get some coverage and makeup that will stay on.

Pros:

looks very natural
blends with skin
gives you that movie star look when you first apply it

Cons:

doesn't actually clear skin..
comes off too easily

i love this foundation. although it doesn't have a pump i just dab some on the tip of my finger and place it on my face using the t-zone method. when i go to school no one can tell that i wear make up because of how natural it blends and i have had multiple people ask me how i do my make up so well. i also apply NYC powder to seal in the foundation which works very well too and add a bit off blush and mascara to top it off. believe it or not your skin will look flawless and natural like airbrush so yes try this

Pros:

Clears my skin, covers and blends very well

Cons:

None!!!!

I've tried a few acne face washes with NOOO luck. I'm a fan of Neutrogena on Facebook and they were advertising this, so I gave it a whirl. To my utter surprise--it works GREAT! I saw OVERNIGHT results...it dried out my pimples, but didn't make my face peel. It also covers the (now) few pimples I have VERY good. Once you get it totally blended, nobody even notices the small pimples. From a few feet away, my skin looks 100% clear...but even up close there's really nothing I'm hiding. This skin clearing makeup worked amazing for me and I will continue to use!
