Acne Fighting Foundation is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1428.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Life saver Whenever I decide to mess around and try something new that goes horribly wrong and ends up in breakouts- I grab 2 things. The blemish fighting primer, and this foundation. The primer is smooth and holds on to this foundation beautifully. The foundation is full coverage, hiding any bumps or breakouts. Between those two products, a good morning and night wash, along with moisturizing at night, I can have my face cleared up in 2 weeks. (Note: Sometimes if things get really bad and I get a deep, stubborn, or cystic acne patch... some redness might poke through just the primer and foundation, and if I need a little concealer, I just put it over the foundation instead of usually putting it under. This works wonders in hiding the spot and I still get my results)

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I bought this about a month ago, I love the coverage and it does help with acne, but to my horror their palest shade makes me look orang, something I realised only in natural light. I'm not sure how "porcelain" translated to a tanned skin tone.
Date published: 2020-03-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best foundation I've ever used This is honestly the best foundation I've ever used and the only foundation that blends into my skin so nicely. As for the acne fighting component of it, I can't tell if it actually works, because my skin breaks out and heals periodically anyways and that hasn't changed. The foundation alone is enough for my to buy it though.
Date published: 2020-03-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great foundation, not a great shade range I absolutely love this foundation, the only reason why I gave 4 stars is the shade range. It's medium to full coverage and lasts me all day. When I wear it I don't break out and it can handle my oily t-zone. I really hope they don't discontinue this product, it's really good and at a cheap price.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Bad color range I love this foundation it does wonders when my face has breakouts.. only problem is even the lightest shade isn’t light enough so I cannot use it without mixing with a lighter foundation, for this reason I gave it 3 stars...will not buy again unless they come out with more shades.
Date published: 2020-03-24
Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great...but could be better with shade range. The product is excellent and it works well for my acne-prone skin, however I wish the shade range was more inclusive. EXPAND THE SHADE RANGE!
Date published: 2020-03-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Changed my make up! I have extremely sensitive skin and have found that this foundation doesn't clog my face and has improved my skin. It's such a great base and helps my powder make up stay on better. I've been using it for years and can't recommend it enough.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not good for my acne I struggle with acne. This product is very oily, do not use if you have oily skin.

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.

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?
