Almay Foundation, Acne Face Makeup with Salicylic Acid, Face Makeup with Skincare Ingredients, Matte Finish, Hypoallergenic, Cruelty Free, Dermatologist Tested Foundation, 200 Buff, 1 Oz

I don't use foundation very often anymore, but if I am getting all dolled up and going to socialize with a full face I will use foundation. I have used mineral powder for over 15 years, but since I am now 40 I realized I would prefer more moisture versus a dry powder. I tried one liquid foundation before this that made me break out when it said it would not, but after trying this I was very pleased. I use a soft sponge to put it on, and it doesn't look cakey or fake looking. I didn't feel it was too oily or too dry, it felt just right.. sort of like the three bears! This did not make me break out, and I literally break out from almost anything I put on my face even at the age I am now. I was really lucky to find a shade that matched as well.

My favorite make-up. Good coverage but still looks natural. Goes on easily and smoothly. With finger for more coverage. For lighter coverage, use sponge. Does not clog my pores or is drying like some other oil free make-up. Love that it does not have pink tones as I have fair olive skin tone. Also love that it brightens up my skin and does not turn darker or orange like some make-up does afterwards. Finally, it does not irritate my very sensitive skin.

Perfect texture. Goes on light and creamy. After trying several others, I always go back to this brand.

This is my holy grail foundation. It is medium to full coverage, matte but not flat finish and very long-lasting. It is also about 80% transfer-free. My skin is acne-prone and a lot of other foundations either clog my pores or break me out, or won`t give enough coverage, but this beats them all and happens to help calm my current breakouts during the day. After taking off my makeup, my skin looks better than when I put it on, which tells me that salicylic acid is working. The one thing that you don`t want to skip with this foundation is your moisturizer, because it may settle in wrinkles and fine lines. Also it may look heavy and cakey if more than one layer is applied. I find this looks more natural when applied with your fingers, but I prefer a synthetic slanted kabuki brush for full coverage. My skin is oily, but this foundation keeps oils at bay for the whole day and I never feel greasy or have the need to blot or use powder. Setting it with powder, however, helps to keep it in place perfectly. The one con is this product causes flashback in photos. It may not be the case with medium skin tones, but with fair and light shades it is. I wouldn`t use this product if going out at night where photos will be taken. Also because of the staying power I prefer to clean my skin by taking the foundation off with makeup wipes first and then washing my face with cleanser and a washcloth. This is not the kind of foundation you can wash off with water and soap easily. I`ve tried more than a dozen of different foundations (from drugstore to high-end), but this works best for me.

Pretty good foundation. Cruelty-free, doesn’t seem to cause acne (maybe a pimple or two). The only issue is it BURNS my skin a little and I mix it with Cover Girl’s matte bb cream. I always seem to get a pimple or two when I add this in my mix, for extra coverage. It’s a good color and consistency. It’s not perfect, but if your skin responds well to salicylic acid, I’m sure you’d like it.

Been using this foundation for years. The shade matches my skin tone perfectly, and I never have to worry about breakouts, unlike with many other products. My only “complaint” is that as I’ve gotten older, I now need to apply moisturizer before using it—something I didn’t have to do when I was younger. That’s on me, not the product!

I dispense it on the top of my hand and apply it with my fingers or beauty blender, blends into my skin easily, coverage builds, very pleased. ~UPDATE~ Although I still love the way this looks, I realized that I was consistently breaking out on my chin and checked the ingredients again. Somehow I missed that it has a cetyl ingredient, which I am sensitive to. Fatty alcohols like cetyl, cetearyl, and stearyl can cause acne in some people. I find that I get 1-2 pimples a week in my chin area when I've been consistently using a product with it. I still use this makeup on other parts of my face, but now I use concealer only on my chin. :/

Finally found a product that blends in well, stays on all day, and doesn't aggravate my acne or skin! I do on squirt and apply with my fingers. I tried originally with a brush, but it is very sheer coverage. Wouldn't recommend as a concealer, but it's great for a base foundation to even out skin tone. Love! Need to update with summer color. Does reflect light in pictures.

Love this foundation. Shoppers stopped stocking it and I was so bummed. Happy to discover that Amazon is carrying it. This Foundation is the perfect consistency and never feels heavy or like I’m wearing anything. LOVE it, wish it was easier to find in more shades as my skin colour changes a lot throughout the seasons.

El color se mezcla muy bien y no reseca la piel

Cheaper than in stores Feels light on my skin and not greasy
