Acne Fighting Foundation is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1397.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from okay It is not that bad for the price, but it is not a good product either. It fell apart on my face even tho I used the elf primer. The colour is lovely. It is good for someone who is just getting into makeup

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Favorite foundation, bad shade range This is by far my favorite drugstore foundation. I have combo skin with some dry spots, but I used to have super oily skin. I’ve used this foundation while my skin was going through different stages and it has always looked amazing. It’s pretty hydrating without being overly hydrating, you barely need any product, it covers my acne scars beautifully, doesn’t feel heavy, doesn’t get cakey, doesn’t crease, and doesn’t have a super strong scent. The only issue I have with this foundation is the shade range. Typically I get matched for like the 4th lightest foundation in most brands, but this lightest shade porcelain is even too dark for me. I have to use a tiny bit and then make sure to use a lighter concealer to even the color out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good foundation I love this foundation apply nicely and smooth and finding good with my sensitive skin.. More shade will be great , I have already recommended to friend and family and they love it. Thank you ELF

Rated 2 out of 5 by from "Porcelain" is a joke..... I actually like the product itself, it's smooth, matte, lightweight. I only had to try it on once to know that it doesn't match my skin AT ALL. but didn't try it enough to know that it helped with acne. I really wanted to like this as my go-to daily to help clear skin and have some coverage. But labeling this "Porcelain" is ridiculous. Have they ever met a pale person? This looks dark orange compared my my skin. I'll never be this tan in a million years. I have a VERY fair complexion, naturally super light strawberry blonde hair with freckles, and this just looks like a painted my face dark orange. When they get an actual fair shade I would definitely try it again, but I can not wear this without laughing. But I'm a HUGE e.l.f fan in general, it's my go-to line.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect BUT NEEDS MORE SHADES Perfect size, No scent, great formula for oily acne skin BUT we need MORE LIGHTER YELLOW UNDERTONED **NOT ORANGE UNDERTONED. Please elf, do not ever discontinue or change the formula. Do NOT add fragrance please like you did to the new Flawless Foundation. This acne foundation has become my new favourite as theres no scent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great coverage !! I bought this foundation back in June & I love that it covers the some blemishes I have. It covers them so well, I don’t have to use any concealer. I especially like how smooth it goes, it stays on fora long time and love the price.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Where's the size? Love these products but why not state the size clearly so customer isn't disappointed when the product is smaller than it appears on the page? Would make shopping much easier.
Date published: 2019-12-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only foundation I'll ever use again PLEASE DONT STOP MAKING THIS. For some reason all stores stopped carrying this. It broke my heart. Thank god I can order it on the website. I have extremely sensitive skin, this is the only foundation I'll ever use. I'm prone to breakouts and my skin gets angry. I've tried all major beauty brands and probably every skin accessory ever made. Elf brand is the only one for me

Hi, So I've been struggling with Acne Rosacea for 3 years now, and I haven't been able to wear foundation due to my extremely sensitive skin. But I'm self conscious, so I'm curious about the Acne Fighting Foundation, will it agitate my skin?

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.
