Acne Solutions™ Liquid Makeup Foundation

I purchased this about a few days ago, and I just love it! I've been using it ever since and this foundation basically makes you feel okay with wearing a liquid makeup! Knowing that this contains a acne medication is just great! I wear 1 alabaster and i have fair skin but not porcelain. I tried the next color fresh ivory but it was so dark for some odd reason. So I just went with alabaster and it's a perfect color! It goes on smooth, and has a natural finish. It has moderate coverage abd you can build up on this as well. Throughout the day, I usually have very oily skin on my t-zone and dryness on my cheeks. This foundation did not melt or anything! It was so silky and natural all throughout the day! I just apply this foundation with my fingertips and it basically makes it moist into my skin. It's great and I would definently recommend it to a friend!!!

This product is AMAZING! I am so glad that I found a foundation that cover my post acne marks. With this foundation I dont need to put on concealer to cover up m acne marks.coverage is medium to full and it look so natural and not cakey at all.I totally recommend this foundation to those who have acne prone skin.I use MAC nc 35 and I use fresh beige for this clinique acne solutions.

I purchased this last week after waiting a month for it to be released. I was using the clarifying foundation and powder only to find it was discontinued. The Clinique rep told me I would love this and it will be worth the wait - she was right! it goes on very smooth with the foundation brush (purchased separately) and makes me look natural and smooth. I have acne scars and they seem to disappear with this product. Hooray to Clinique...I forgive you for discontinuing the clarifying makeup.

I have been using this makeup for years! It is great for acne, and provides great coverage. Sometimes my skin gets a little dry with this, but if I work in a moisturizer, I'm good. Also, this applies best with sponges for better blending.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of coverage this foundation provided. It covered better than most other medium-coverage formulas I've tried, and was easily buildable to achieve full coverage. That being said, the finish was gorgeous - extremely natural, not cake-like or noticeable at all, even with the full-coverage effect. It was nearly impossible to tell I was wearing makeup at all, even in full natural light. I applied it with a dry sponge, using a stippling/blotting motion and found this to work extremely well to achieve the natural effect. I have fair skin (not porcelain) with yellow undertones and the 01 Alabaster matched my skintone perfectly. (For reference, I wear the Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation in Cream Ivory and Chanel in Beige 020.) I found that the foundation, once set with powder, stayed looking nice for about 12 hours, although my skin is only slightly oily. (I would imagine for more oily skin-types, the formula may not last as long.) I had no issues with the color oxidizing throughout the day. I did notice a bit of shine in the afternoon, which is uncommon for me. Nothing bad, just a slightly "dewy" look, and it didn't seem to affect the evenness of the makeup at all. I am subtracting one star because I didn't find it to prevent new pimples from forming, although it did seem to spped the healing of existing ones. In addition, the salicylic acid smell is slightly noticeable when applying the product, but I didn't smell it whatsoever once I was finished. Overall, great product for a natural-looking coverage, but I think the effectiveness of the acne-clearing properties may vary from person to person.

This stuff has worked wonders for me for over 10 years. I have a shade for summer and one for winter, when my skin gets a bit lighter. This foundation never clogs my pores and doesn't upset my very sensitive skin. I've tried sensitive skin products made by different lines but my skin became irritated or I'd end up breaking out. I'm in my mid-30s so I luckily don't have bad acne. However, my skin does tend to get oily in the T-zone and I still have the occasional breakout. Clinique's Acne Solutions continues to be the winner for my skin. It's not thick and doesn't feel like it's caked on to my skin. It's a sheer/moderate coverage, which I love, so on days I want it lighter, I can be skimpy with it and finish with a bit of powder.
