My thoughts on CLINIQUE ACNE SOLUTIONS LIQUID FOUNDATION

My constant struggle is to find a foundation or a product that does not break me out so I am always on the lookout for something that takes care of acne and blemishes. I do not have major acne but one or two spots here and there is now a norm and doesn’t even bother me much but yes, with the wrong choice of product my acne does flare up which definitely is the cause of concern for almost everyone. This foundation is specifically made for people with acne prone skin and it definitely does keep acne at bay. Not sure if it does much to stop acne from emerging but it definitely does not flare it up. Love the coverage and how amazing it looks on my face but can get slightly, just a tad bit drying on my normal to combination skin. I don’t think people with dry skin who have acne issues will be able to pull it well. If your skin is dry or super dry then you would want to skip using it has been designed to keep oils at bay.
Highly recommended for people with super oily skin though!

A Small Tip:

Moisturize your face well
Apply a hydrating primer instead of smoothing or mattifying
Instead of powder highlighters to go on top of this foundation go for a wet, dewy, creamy or liquid highlighter formula
