    loved it

    I wished I had tried this product sooner. It has reduced my acne. This coverage is good. Does need touch ups toward the end of the day.

    Great Foundation for My Oily Skin!

    I suffer from an extremely oily face so when I started wearing foundation I didn't realize that it mattered what kind of foundation I bought. It did. While I enjoyed the first actual glass bottle of foundation I ever bought... it made my face look real shiny, real fast. So when I ran out I decided to buy a new brand. I ran upon this Almay (which mine looks like a newer version of this with Blemish...read more Heal or control technology or something) acne clearing foundation and decided to give it a try. I thought the color was going to be a little too light for my skin color but I blended PERFECTLY. It made me realize how off in color my last foundation was. I also come to find out that this seemed to have a matte-ish like finish on my skin which now keeps some of the shine away. Pair this with a finishing powder and your good to go for quite a few hours. I also was hoping for the acne technology to be effective and while I haven't noticed any improvement in my acne I have noticed that it DOES NOT CAUSE MY FACE TO BREAK OUT! Which to me is AWESOME. I really love this foundation and I hope I will find it again! :)

    Pretty good foundation

    I really liked this foundation (I have a second bottle in a lighter color). It is a little bit thicker than I usually like, but when I use a wet sponge, it goes on perfectly and looks amazing. It can start to look dry and cakey after a few hours of wear though.

    Effective Blemish Fighter

    I have been using Almay Clear Complexion liquid foundation for about a month now, and I really have noticed a difference. I have never worn foundation regularly because I can never seem to find a good one that doesn’t clog pores leading to more breakouts; I have mostly worn a hypoallergenic concealer with a loose powder instead. It still just wasn’t giving me the smooth, clear look I was looki...read moreng for. Almay’s Clear Complexion foundation’s active ingredient is salicylic acid, which is found in acne clearing face washes, like Neutrogena or Clean & Clear. So this is a good sign that it is affective. Which after about a week of wearing it I started to see results. I decided to try this Clear Complexion makeup after countless tries to conceal my acne blemishes without clogging my pores. It was definitely somewhat of a learning process in applying Almay’s Clear Complexion makeup correctly. It is thick, and I found, the absolute best way to apply is as follows: Gently pour a small sized drop of the makeup on your fingertips, and pat a small dot of the makeup on your forehead, chin and each cheekbone. Using your fingertips, rub the makeup into your skin, like you would lotion. This guarantees full, long lasting coverage, without any shine or rub-off. Use a makeup powder brush to apply powder over the top of the foundation to seal your makeup. Remember: Wash your hands before applying makeup with fingers to avoid transfering oils to your pores. I found this makeup to be affective in clearing up blemishes. Although you could probably get away with not removing it at night since it is hypoallergenic, I wouldn’t recommend it since the acne clearing ingredient in this Clear Complexion makeup (salicylic Acid) is drying to the skin. Wash it off at night, and apply face lotion. I really like this makeup and will be adding it to my daily makeup routine.

    Good but probably might not repurchase

    I liked this foundation but I did have some issues with it. It was kind to my acne-prone skin which was great, and it didn't feel heavy or cakey on my skin. It was blendable and natural looking. Unfortunately it has the tendency to oxidize so it turns slightly darker and more orange the longer I wear it. The coverage could also be better. I'd say it has light-medium coverage that is slightly build...read moreable. I think it should have fuller, more complete coverage considering it's for acne-prone skin. People with my skin type tend to have lots of dark spots, scars and obviously, zits so obviously we have more things to conceal. Also the foundation doesn't wear very long, maybe around 5 hours before it begins to get shiny and melt off. I'll try to find a lighter shade to solve the oxidation issue but if not I'll pass on getting another bottle.

    Almay Clear Complexion makeup

    So it is not for my skin for sure. I am always excited whenever I see face makeup that says it will also help your acne at the same time. Blemishes is my frequent problem, especially around that time of the month, however, that makeup did nothing for me. I have to give Almay thumbs up for not testing on animals, thank you, so I can continue using their other products, just not this one. My skin is...read more fair, and I always go for lighter shades, so I chose Ivory, while I was hoping it would match my skin stone, it gave me more of a yellowish coverage and made my skin look dry, and it does not blend in well at all, it literally looks like I am wearing makeup. So I guess I will keep looking for an alternative.

    I'd buy it again!

    First, I'll note that I have the one in the new packaging with the pump. This was the first liquid foundation I tried, because I was worried that liquid would make my skin too oily. I was wrong! I love this! I mix it with the Clear Complexion Concealer and I get full coverage with a natural look! I also layer the Clear Complexion Powder on top and my makeup lasts all day! I'm not sure about how mu...read morech it heals acne, but it doesn't cause it! For those with drier skin types, this might cause you to peel because of the salicylic acid. For those with combination to oily skin types, it's perfect! The only part of my face that gets oily throughout the day when wearing this is my nose, which for me, is inevitable. The only issue I had with this was the color which was a little too light for me. However, when I mix it with the concealer which is a little to dark for me, it's almost my exact skin color! Anyways, this is perfect for my skin, it's a good price, and I'd buy it again.
