Pros:

-It covers up the redness
-light weight
-Doesnt cause more acne

Cons:

-it doesnt clear my acne

So pretty much this product covers my redness and it feels like as if i wasnt wearing any makeup. it lets my face breath unlike other foundations. It didnt clear my acne but it didnt cause any either. other foundations did cause my to break out even more than usual and would make my face feel like i had lots of it pack on there. this one doesnt do that . So all i can say is to buy a bottle and check it out . it wont hurt to try .

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 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:

This is the only makeup I've tried that does not induce a breakout. Choose the right shade and it covers acne marks & blemishes beautifully. It looks natural-- like you aren't wearing makeup. Try applying a lighter shade on blemishes first, if needed, then cover with a shade that matches your skin tone.

Cons:

None.

Looks natural, covers flaws well, does not break me out and is reasonably priced.

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:

-provided okay coverage

Cons:

-heavy fragrance
-oily feeling
-did not clear skin

I have not used this make-up in a while, but when I did I was very disappointed with it. It had a strong fragrance and felt greasy going on. I also did not notice any reduction in acne; it may have even worsened my complexion to some extent.

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!
