Acne Fighting Foundation is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1385.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lovely smooth foundation I'm acne prone with sensitive skin & this foundation is amazing!!! I am using this acne foundation since last one year or so. The consistency is really nice and the smell isn't too horrible. Nice medium-full coverage foundation, super blendable and buildable, and doesn't dry out before I get to blending it out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Foundation I have been using this foundation for three years now. I had really bad breakouts and constant-appearing acne that I had struggled with for like EVER! I gave it a try since it is only $6. I must say I fell in love with it! I love the velvety dewy finish. It is also very lightweight. Thank You ELF!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great coverage Okay I was not sure of this foundation due to lack of shade range, but this is by far one of my favorite foundations!!
Date published: 2019-11-01
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great coverage however difficult shade matching I brought this foundation after loving the ELF flawless finish foundation which id shade match in a store and was happy with shade beige. i have always suffered with acne so this seemed like the perfect product so ordered online as it was available in store, i assumed id be shade beige in this foundation as well. however found that there isn't much consistency between the two product lines and shade beige in this formula was a very different colour that made me look rather orange. the coverage is great and may have slightly improved the condition of my skin but that may have also been down to my new elf skin care routine i started around the same time, but it definitely has not made my skin worse so thats a bonus. Id recommend this product but be wary that the shades may not be the same as other elf shades even though they are called the same thing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great light/medium coverage. My skin is dry and sensitive, prone to breakouts. I use a sponge to prevent streaks!
Date published: 2019-10-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! My skin is prone to breakouts every once and a while, especially during my period. But this foundation has really worked for me. My skin is smoother, it covers my redness awesome, and the over all appearance of my skin looks great! I’m so thankful I found this product at target. I will definitely keep buying!
Date published: 2019-10-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful I love this foundation. It's consistancy is thick, medium coverage and blends wonderfully. I have porcelain and buff. I use more or less of these shades depending on the season. I've had really bad issues with my skin in the past and present, eczema, acne rosacea, oily and dry skin, nightmare! But this foundation is great for oily and spot prone skin. The coverage is really good and I'd definitely recommend it.
Date published: 2019-10-06
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Really good The coverage isn’t that great but I’ve noticed my skin seems a lot more clear! I always have a bunch of tiny bumps on my forehead and chin and this has really helped a lot to keep them at bay and give me a smoother look. Definitely will purchase again!

I am really pale, and I’ve never used elf for foundation before but I love all their other products I was wondering is it actually pale enough to suit my skin? Has anyone else who is really pale tried this product? 

Asked by: Anonymous
The lightest shade in the Acne Fighting Foundation is Porcelain, but it is not super light. We would suggest you use the Foundation Shade Adjuster with it, or choose from one of our Flawless Finish Foundations.
