Pros:

Soaks up sweat/oil
Covers acne and PiH
Has an SPF

Cons:

Flakes if my skin is very dry

My acne has bounced from severe to cleared but I can always use this product. It looks natural with the right color (and if my face isn't terribly dry).

Pros:

Doesn't cause breakouts
looks natural (if you get the right color)
easier to remove than regular foundation

Cons:

Doesn't cover acne very well

I love this foundation! While it doesn't hide my acne, it's the only kind of foundation I can use that doesn't irritate my skin.

Pros:

Where do I start?
- It doesn't break me out
- It applies well
- It travels well and the container is nice
- Drugstores/grocery stores usually carry it
- Doubles as a foundation or powder

Cons:

Absolute NONE.

I bought this in the beginning because I had a coupon for $2.00 off a Neutrogena foundation or blush. I have used this powder for about two years now, and when I get a wild hair and buy something new, I realize just how great this stuff truly is. My face breaks out and then I go back to this and it clears back up. I use this as a powder OVER foundation, even though it's supposed to be a foundation by itself. You could use it that way, I suppose, but I have ridiculously oily skin. This makes my face look flawless and pore-free. Most powders usually clog my pores (even though they are non-comedogenic), but this one doesn't even say non-comedogenic, but it most certainly is. I recommend this all the time when people compliment my complexion; I would SERIOUSLY consider dishing out the money for this. I also use the Neutrogen 3-step Acne Solutions face wash/BP/lotion, and every box has a coupon for $2.00 off a Neutrogen foundation or blush, so that often helps defer the cost of this. Bottom line: I stand by this product and would pay twice this much if I had to. It's THAT good. I simply cannot say enough good things about this or any other Neutrogena products.

Pros:

This is the best makeup I have ever used. I have moderately severe-severe acne on my face, and I use Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 10 to keep it under control, and it does a very good job. However, when I put on makeup, it's a nightmare, because I have very oily skin. The Persa-Gel controls a alot of the oil, but I still have a significant amount of oil with makeup, and it seemed like I would experience 3 or 4 new breakouts everytime I put on makeup. With Neutrogena, I don't have any!

Cons:

For me, there's really none.

This is the best makeup for acne I have ever used.
