Acne Fighting Foundation is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1445.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Elf please don't stop making this! Elf please don't stop making this or change this product! It is amazing. Been using since it came out. I use porcelin which is more like a light shade. I'd say may make more shades but this beats alot of super expensive foundations at Sephora! Medium coverage super long wearing beautiful finish! Need I say more.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Porcelain is way to dark and not full coverage I’m not someone who has very fair skin. I’m definitely light, but on the edge of the medium range. I ordered Porcelain and figured if it was too light I could mix it with my darker summer foundation to balance it out. This foundation is wayyyy too dark. If you’re light to very fair skinned even the lightest colour (Porcelain) will be too dark and orangy for you. It’s also a very watery formula. I’d say medium coverage at best. Giving ** because it does feel light and natural on my skin, not oily or too drying. Won’t be buying again unfortunately unless they come out with lighter colours.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Too dark It smells good and helped with my acne, but it was too dark (I got the lightest shade and I'm not super pale). I know online makeup shopping is hit-or-miss, but if you're very pale, you may want to try a different product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product This foundation does work and I feel like my breakouts are under control. It's easy to apply and has a natural finish. It has also has a good amount of coverage (medium). While the shade range could be better, I have medium tan skin & the tan sand worked very well.
Date published: 2020-05-29
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not enough shades I was very excited about this since I have never owned foundation before (I wasn’t aware that non-comedogenic options were available). I’ve never considered by skin to be that fair, but unfortunately the lightest shade was way too dark for me. If e.l.f. makes a lighter shade I will definitely buy it- I was very happy with how quickly I was refunded, without even having to send a picture (I’m uncomfortable revealing my face).
Date published: 2020-05-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by from It’s great! Just to few shades I bought this in the lightest color and it’s too dark for me. I have to set it with a really light powder to even it out. I really like it though and it does help with acne. Just more shades would be amazing. I also find that the dispenser on it is weird. It’s more like a squirt bottle than a pump l.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from its great! i really like this foundation ! the reason i didnt give it 5 stars was because it was a little on the smaller side but with the amount it cost it makes sense, i also got a too light shade but nothing a darker foundation cant help with

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it Such a good foundation... but please... we need more shades!!!!

I want to get this for my little sisters, they both have such AWFUL acne and they get self conscious about it, but one of them has dry skin. Would this bother dry skin or do you think she'd be able to wear it?

Asked by: Casper9
They may both wear the product. We suggest that the sister with dry skin use an appropriate moisturizer or primer before applying. We also suggest our Acne Fighting Spot Gel to help their complexions.
