Acne Fighting Foundation is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1459.
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Please Add More Shades I love this foundation and have been using it for over 3 years!! It has really helped with my acne. The only problem is the lightest shade is way to dark for my skin so I would appreciate it if there was more variety in shades.
Date published: 2020-09-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great coverage I absolutely love this foundation. It, along with my regular skin care, has cleaned up my acne. The coverage is medium to full, and glides on the skin beautifully.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Love the coverage. No light shade Love the coverage really does clear up acne but these shades to choose from are limited and terrible. Need a lighter color. ELF. Please add more shades!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Disappointed with Color selection The lightest color Porcelain is way too orange for my teenagers skin but the coverage is great and is clearing her skin. I hope Pearl/Ivory like colors and darker colors as well are added.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight I did not wear makeup a lot due to I have oily acne prone skin and most foundations would only make it worse. This foundation is lightweight feeling on my skin, blends well, and I do not notice any extra breakouts (outside of the hormonal acne). Very happy I decided to purchase this.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works Great! There could be a bit more variety in shades, but the lightest shade was pretty close to my skin. I usually struggle with finding products that help with acne, but my skin has been doing really well since I've started using this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from If you forget it’s there have no fear I discovered this about 18 months ago because I kept falling asleep in my foundation and my skin would just be horrible the next morning. This is the only foundation I have ever used where if you fall asleep or forget to wash it off it doesn’t damage your skin or clog your pores. It’s acne fighting so I almost think of it as a mask. Will continue to buy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect! I use this everyday for work and I’m a flight attendant. It lasts all day and only need to touch up my nose and chin with powder after a long day of work; before I head out. Tons of compliments on how it blends. I use a brush to put this on. Small pea size amount does my whole face. It’s one of my favourite elf products. I use the porcelain.

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.
