One of the best foundations I’ve tried! I really loved this foundation! It has high coverage that evens out my skin beautifully and lasts all day without fading. I’ve worn it through long days and it still looks great by the end. The packaging is super nice and practical, which makes it easy to use and perfect for travel. I’m really happy with how it performs, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing it. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for makeup

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing foundation that truly cares for your skin! The Neutrogena SkinClearing Liquid Makeup exceeded my expectations in every way. From the first application, I could tell this product was going to be a staple in my makeup routine. It goes on smoothly and blends effortlessly into the skin, providing a natural, flawless finish that doesn't feel heavy or cakey. What really sets it apart is the added benefit of salicylic acid, which actively works to clear up and prevent breakouts while you wear it — perfect for someone like me who deals with occasional acne. The coverage is buildable, so whether I want a light, everyday look or something more polished, this foundation delivers. It also controls shine beautifully, especially in my T-zone, and stays in place all day without breaking down. I also appreciate how breathable it feels — my skin never feels smothered. It’s rare to find a foundation that not only enhances your appearance but also improves your skin over time. Neutrogena really nailed it with this one. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for makeup that does double duty: flawless coverage and skincare benefits!
Love it

It is effective for breakouts and provides good coverage while treating acne. Additionally, it targets blemishes as you wear it. This product is lightweight with medium coverage, so you don't need to apply too much.

Love the coverage, it’s light to medium and does a good job giving an even base. The shade ivory is on the cooler side but blends seamlessly into the skin
Very good for acne

I used to use this when I was preteen/teenager and had acne. This was something I used before I knew how to treat my skin and use skincare and it helped my acne so much. My face looked matte, smooth, and despite the bumps on my face my face felt soft. Consistently wearing it helped my acne.

The Neutrogena SkinClearing Foundation with MicroClear has a light, non-overpowering scent. The bottle is compact and easy to use. It provides light to medium coverage with a natural, skin-like finish. It's especially suitable for oily and acne-prone skin due to its non-comedogenic formula. While the shade range is somewhat limited, it covers the most common skin tones.
Good Product

I have been using Neutrogena foundation since I was a teenager! It doesn’t ever look caked on and is more natural. Plenty of shade/skin tones to choose from. A little goes a long way so the bottle lasts quite some time. And another bonus is it’s not crazy expensive!

This line used to be the best. I don't know what they have done to this product, but it is no longer the same product I remember. I have repurchased over and over again, hoping maybe the quality would be back as it was, but this line has no consistency in quality anymore. The color and quality are bad.

This foundation was light and helped me when I was dealing with heavy breakouts. It didn't feel like it clogged my pores. It gave a natural finish.

I’m really impressed with this foundation! I usually use much more expensive brands, but my hormones are wreaking havoc on my skin, and I’m breaking out at 50 like I never have. So, I’ve been searching for something that won’t clog my pores. This foundation (Nude) is a great color, not too yellow, not too peach, not too pink. I usually struggle to find a match-I’m neutral leaning warm, with lots of redness in my face! It blends in really well, it covers breakouts sufficiently, and my skin was actually looking BETTER the next day instead of worse after trying something new! It feels light, wore really well all day, and isn’t TOO matte. I’m so happy with it, I may even look for a lighter shade for winter! (I never buy anything twice, lol!)
Great coverage

I love all of Neutrogena’s foundation. I have used it for the past 10 years. It always leaves a flawless finish and also provides amazing coverage. The skin compatibility and shade range is usually always accurate and the packaging is always beautiful.

Widerange of skinniest. More of a light matte finish. Made my skin sweat some. Not for aging skin. Medium coverage. Wear over moisturizer to go on more smoothly.

It feels light but you can build it up I haven't had any breakups in my skin and it last pretty long the last picture I took it after going to the gym, I didn't have a lot of time before to take off my makeup and that's the result after 30 min of workout, the part of the nose it's a little bit oily and after the workout some of the foundation was off.
