Pros:

-Covers my scars and my breakouts for the most part
-Doesn't have any scent
-Feels very light
-Easy to apply
-Doesn't clog pores
-Oil-free

Cons:

-Doesn't prevent or clear breakouts (necessarily), but does not cause any
-Does not give the illusion of an entirely flawless complexion on its own

This was the first and only foundation I have ever used, and from the beginning I loved it! This is one thing I really could not go without. I literally would not step out of the house without this on my face. I can't say that it really does anything to prevent or clear breakouts because the amount of salicylic acid it contains is only 0.5%. However, I have never noticed in the fourteen months that I have used this that it was the actual cause for any sole pimples or breakouts. I love the idea that its covering my blemishes while not causing any future blemishes.

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

Cons:

Causes breakouts
dryness

Honestly every product I ever used from Neutrogena always made my complexion worse its false advertising for sure. My Dermatologist recommended using Clinique products because they work closely with other dermatologists, so that's what I did, I dont like that theyre really expensive though, anyways my point is that I had the worst experience with Neutrogena compared to other store products.

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:

Nothing!

Cons:

just awful

Dont buy it. i put this on and i have pretty bad acne and a red prone face and honestly i wouldve been better off not wearing it at all and thats saying something. i was so dissapointed. i recommend almay stick concealer it kinda looks like its in a lipsgloss container, but it gets darker as the day goes on so i had to stop using it. but if you have tan skin i def. recommend it,

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 :)
