Acne Fighting Foundation is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1482.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Foundation Of Life I have been using this foundation for about 4 years now. The coverage is SO good and great if you have dry skin! Unfortunately im tempted to replace this with something else if i can find an EQUALLY as good foundation, solely because of the shade range. If you guys get a whole new shade range and more options of shades, i wont even think about looking for something else, its THAT good. PLEASE get a new selection and more options of shade colors because again, IT IS THE BEST FOUNDATION❤️

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Lightest shade is not light enough and it oxidizes orange on my skin. So disappointed because I’ve seen a lot of good reviews:(

Rated 3 out of 5 by from not enough shades!! I bought this a while back, and while the coverage is great, the shade is far too orangey. Im cool toned and VERY pale so I purchased their lightest shade (porcelain) and it's definitely not light enough. Wish they would get more shades!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Too Dark :( I have a very pale complexion with warm undertones. I ordered Porcelain, the lightest color option available, and it is waaay too dark. It is also a VERY warm golden color. Not even close to what I was expecting. I only used it once, so idk if it helps with breakouts, but it did have a nice natural finish and offered a nice blurring effect. It also didn't get slimy at the end of the day. High transfer if you accidentally rub your face on something tho. I feel like I would have liked this product if they offered a wider, and more accurate, color range.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for normal, dry, and acne prone skin! I am shocked that I don't hear anyone taking about this foundation! It has medium buildable coverage and a natural, slight dewy finish. What I love most is that the salicylic acid doesn't dry out my skin (I have dry skin), rather it treats any level of acne I have and when I take it off, my skin looks less irritated and my blemishes look smaller. It doesn't matter whether I have white heads, small bumps, acne scars, or clear skin, this foundation looks amazing and also leaves my skin in better condition when I remove it. It also looks great with glam looks and more natural ones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Foundation! Goes on Very Smoothly! I am very impressed with this foundation. It has a silky texture and is definitely full coverage. I felt like the application process was effortless when using my fingers. I cannot speak to the acne fighting properties because I am always breaking out. But I am sure the salicylic acid, witch hazel, and other ingredients will definitely help improve my skin quality and texture. I am already repurchasing this, and I highly recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I am pretty impressed with all of E.L.F. Studio line, the quality exceeds expectations (especially considering price). This product was no exception, I really like it! E.L.F.

I use Maybelline super stay 24hr full coverage foundation and concealer in Caramel. The swatch is elf shows suede in flawless finish foundation and coffee in acne fighting foundation both of which seem too dark for my skin. Suggest apt foundation please.

Asked by: Van19x
We apologize for any confusion. The Acne Fighting Foundation does not have a wide variety of shades, however we would suggest that you try the Virtual Try On Feature. We think that Buff would be a better shade match for you.

Why do the swatches look darker than the product that is shone on the bottle?

Asked by: Angelica127
We apologize, we do try to be as accurate as possible with swatches. Please note that the swatch shows the payofff, or how the product will appear when applied to the skin.
