Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Concealer

Average member rating of 7.6
Average member rating
Rated a 6.0
We love the idea of an acne-fighting concealer, but with only .5 percent salicylic acid, the "treatment" is minimal. The sheer product takes several layers to develop sufficient coverage. Yet the directions recommend only applying once daily in the beginning, because it can be drying. More minuses: It takes a few clicks of the applicator to get the product to surface on the sponge, but then it oozes out in one big dollop, so there is a high degree of waste.

Usually when I use a concealer, new blemishes develop becase the concealer is too oily- or my skin will get a rash because it is too drying. This product was the first concealer to actually cover and improve my skin. I do notice that it takes several clicks to get the product out, and then some is wasted because too much comes out, but over all I love this product. November 29, 2007, 11:06 am

    i love this entire line

    by Allisol (5 reviews)
    all of neutrogena's skinclearing products work well for me. yes, there is very little salicylic acid, but unlike other concealers, it is not clogging pores at least. covers well, blends well with my skin tone. June 3, 2008, 12:43 pm

    This is one product that never leaves my makeup bag. I carry it with me every where. This concealer offers great coverage for any blemishes or discoloration, and treats the acne while it makes you look flawless. LOVE IT! April 22, 2008, 2:17 pm

    Not bad!

    by krudder30 (186 reviews)
    I've used this product for years. I love the texture and the colors match my skin very well. However, I have never seen any proof that it helped heal acne on my face. Also, you have to be very careful when dispensing. The click up tube will look as if you aren't getting anything and then - oops - you've clicked up half ...

Overall, though, I'd still say this is a great product / concealer. July 1, 2008, 7:31 am

    Hides & Heals Blemishes

    by AllSmiles (5 reviews)
    I've been using this concealer since it first came out and have no intention of switching to any other brand. First, it is one of the lightest in shade that I've found, which is important to me since I have very fair skin. And since it contains salicylic acid, it covers my blemishes while helping to clear them up. June 28, 2008, 9:59 pm

    effective & easy

    by Lizziebelle05 (8 reviews)
    I like this product because it is easy to apply - just needs a little blending. The light treatment helps clear blemishes without overdrying. I like the green concealer to help cover & deal with redness without creating a light spot on your face. June 13, 2008, 8:15 am

    Concealer for Zitts!

    by Denise2134 (15 reviews)
    I liked this product! Other concealers just soak in to blemishes and this one stays on for me. I didn't have problems with the dispenser, in fact, I was glad it didn't come out too quickly. One reason I like this is because you can control the amount and use the applicator without having to use your fingers! March 28, 2008, 4:05 pm
