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:

Doesn't cause acne, actually eliminates pimples.

Cons:

Can be a little thick. I usually add water.

I'd use it if I were you. It's at about any drugstore and there's a bunch of different shades.

Pros:

looks very natural
blends with skin
gives you that movie star look when you first apply it

Cons:

doesn't actually clear skin..
comes off too easily

i love this foundation. although it doesn't have a pump i just dab some on the tip of my finger and place it on my face using the t-zone method. when i go to school no one can tell that i wear make up because of how natural it blends and i have had multiple people ask me how i do my make up so well. i also apply NYC powder to seal in the foundation which works very well too and add a bit off blush and mascara to top it off. believe it or not your skin will look flawless and natural like airbrush so yes try this

Pros:

Clears my skin, covers and blends very well

Cons:

None!!!!

I've tried a few acne face washes with NOOO luck. I'm a fan of Neutrogena on Facebook and they were advertising this, so I gave it a whirl. To my utter surprise--it works GREAT! I saw OVERNIGHT results...it dried out my pimples, but didn't make my face peel. It also covers the (now) few pimples I have VERY good. Once you get it totally blended, nobody even notices the small pimples. From a few feet away, my skin looks 100% clear...but even up close there's really nothing I'm hiding. This skin clearing makeup worked amazing for me and I will continue to use!

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.

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:

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 :)
