Pros:

-Does not make me breakout
-Stays on all day
-Oil-free

This is one of the few makeup products I use on a daily basis without worrying about it causing more acne. What I like most about it is how long it manages to stay on without re-applying (literally I have gone 24 hours with it staying on). Great if you need to cover up scar marks like I do. Definitely sticking with this product.

Pros:

-my face was not greasy at all!
-dries up zits pretty fast
-matched my skin shade pretty well
-did not clog pores
-salicilic acid medication

Cons:

-expensive
-if you have fair skin, it is hard to cover the redness from your zits (zits look smaller but they are still red)
-may dry out sensitive skin

I don't know if this is the actual product I tried, but I loved it! When I had severe acne, this is the only makeup I used; my skin used to be very oily, and this would prevent the "shine" in pictures. I never had problems with it making me break out, and it would go onto my skin and seem to whick away the oil. NOT for sensitive skin though-this is a makeup that WILL dry out skin, but I never had sensitive skin. Always put on moisturizers before putting on this makeup to ensure smooth coverage.

Pros:

-didn't find any

Cons:

-this broke me out (and I think it's because it has talc!)
-this is on the expensive side for drugstore foundations

I got this because I thought that it would help heal my acne during the day and control oil (since it has salycylic acid) but it didn't! I made every pimple that I had bigger after I took it off!

Great make up for acne skin
great product for acne skin if you follow up with other Neutrogena products it works better like with the powder, concealer shine free primer , but down side its don't have much coverage and rubs off easy

Pros:

Dries out zits
Not oily
Looks good all day

Cons:

Causes breakouts (when used consistently)
A little drying (if you don't put moisturizer first)

In the past I have used this product every day for weeks, and in my opinion it is the best makeup for acne prone skin the drug stores have. It applies well,

Pros:

Not heavy and oil free

Cons:

Contains talc, gave me a horrible breakout unlike normal acne, as if it burned my face all over rather than clear anything up!

Stay away if you have even slightly sensitive skin! Awful product!!

Pros:

Covers my acne

Cons:

feels like a mask
heavy

This product was okay, not the best. It didn't break me out, but it would dry out on my skin causing me to look horrid.
