Cons:

Oily, Shiny finish
Did nothing for my skin
Too little coverage

I had this foundation, but found that it did absolutely nothing for my skin, and it was terrible as a foundation too! It was too oily, and looked oily even after applying a generous layer of powder over top. It felt greasy and heavy on my skin and the coverage wasn't good at all, seeing as this is supposed to be formulated for acne prone skin. It smells AWFUL too, overall a terrible product in my eyes.

Pros:

none really...

Cons:

Causes EXTREME EXTREME dryness even after stopping use
Doesn't clear up acne
Looks like a mask
Expensive for drugstore foundation

This product was used for a week and has been thrown in the back of my makeup collection since that week. I bought it because I figured it wouldn't clog up my pores and would help clear up some little blemishes. Instead, I got a flaky peeling face that was sooo painful. The pain went away but my usual combination/oily skin is now flaky and dry. I stopped using this product 2 months ago and my skin still has acne and is still peeling DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT

Pros:

Doesnt break me out
clean smell
oil free

Cons:

Makes my face itchy
doesnt blend well
small bottle
price

This product was honestly a waist of my money, i usually use the Neutrogeana Health Skin oil free make up(which is amazing) but i wanteds to try this out and see how it was. It make my face totally red and itch. Its not worth the price. I am never switching foundations again! haa

Pros:

-decreases pimple size dramatically while covering it up
-covers up acne,acne marks and any other blemishes
- is not oily like other concealers
-matches skin tone perfectly

Cons:

A little pricy

This stuff works and is great worth every penny and will never go back to the other pore clogging stuff I used to use!

Pros:

Does not make acne worse
Covers pretty well
Cheap
Lots of shades to choose from
Buildable coverage

Cons:

Shows dry patches on skin
Does not have a pump so it is easy to waste a lot of product

Overall this foundation will NOT make you break out. But does NOT make your acne better. It just keeps it the same, which is a good thing since most foundations tend to break me out. I have pale sensitive skin and this foundation works very well with a sponge and does not irritate my skin :)

Pros:

-clears up acne
-no shine
-covers well
-non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)

Cons:

-a little pricey

I love this makeup. I had very bad, very oily skin, and this is the only makeup I used. I never broke out from it (in fact, you cannot break out from this makeup because it is non-comedogenic), and it took care of my "shiny" skin that embarrassed me. It helped heal my skin too. The only thing is that since I have fair skin, it was difficult to completely cover up the redness from the zits; for that, I used a mineral powder and a makeup brush to lightly brush powder over the top of the pimple. This in combination with the neutrogena makeup made my face look so much better! Do not use if you have sensitive skin though-it can dry out skin very quickly!

Pros:

- does not break me out, though I'm not sure if it helps my pimples
- feels very light
- doesn't cake or turn orange over course of the day
-matte finish

Cons:

- perhaps a little sheer
- shows dry patches on skin
- doesn't clear pimples

This product is great. I switched to this from a powder, and I was so happy that it didn't turn orange. I don't breakout when I use this, but I have to use a good bit of moisturizer for it not to show the dry patches. I usually use this everyday for school and it doesn't turn orange or cake during the day.
