Pros:

Gives you a flawless finish

Cons:

Does not clear acne

I'm guessing because it is a medicated makeup it does not mix well with the bp lotion iv been using...if you dont use any medicated creams with bp i think this might be okay and even might clear up acne...check this site out for more reviews! [link removed]

Good acne fighter/coverage for darker skin tones, Unnatural orange shade for pale skin

Pros:

Clears Breakouts

Cons:

Bad choice for pale skin
May dye skin slightly darker
Non-hygenic container (pours out, no pump)

i'd vote this 2 1/2 stars. This foundation is one of the only ones that has actually helped my acne clear up a bit, i'd give it 4 stars for that! However if you have extremely pale skin like me, this is not the best bet. It looks unnaturally dark and orange (and i'm talking their lightest ivory color)- and i swear it dyed my skin a bit darker after using it for awhile. If you are tan or have a darker shade of skin and are acne prone- this product could work very well for you! Neutrogena needs to create a foundation for us super pale folks too (this goes for most skincare companies)! i'm hoping for a day when they will create such a shade.

Pros:

-Great coverage
-Glass Packaging
-Cleared Acne
-Not too heavy

Cons:

-Super cakey, whenever i put this on, it makes me look like a have a ton of foundation on, and it looks like it too.
- You can only pour out the product, so more bacteria could get inside.

It is a great acne fighter and has great coverage, but because it's so cakey, it defeats the purpose of teenagers wearing it. Teenagers prefer to have lighter, more natural makeup, this looks way too heavy for a teenager to wear it, or for anyone to wear it. I think there are better foundations out there, this one is not one of the most amazing ones.

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:

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.
