Target did not pack this properly. The bottle opened during transit and was a huge mess when I opened the package.

fair shades oxidize to deep orange
This used to be the best foundation years ago, perfect match, perfect foruma, always recieved compliments. for years the fairest shades have now oxidized and turns a deep shade of orange. I look like a pumpkin- i've submitted complaints for years but the formula has yet to go back to what it was or improve. about once a year i try this product agian to see if it's improved but somehow it gets worse. avoid this foundation unless you want to be a pumpkin spice girl. fix this neutrogena!!!

Not as good as microclear foundation
It's not as good as microclear foundation. It's light cover which is good but it doesn't do much. Microclear is so good. Stop changing your products. It doesn't help. It only make me want to switch to different makeup brands

Bad Bottle DESIGN
just bought this makeup and the packaging is totally unaccebtable. the bottle has a wide neck so much so that the makeup drips from the container. how many makeup bottles can you count that don't have a smaller dispenser? NONE.

Use this makeup all the time, issue is not with the product itself. Cap was not sealed, it had loosened and was all over.

Something changed
Something changed. I used to wear shade nude 40 and now shades are a lot darker. I bought natural ivory and it is a tad dark and orange on me. I have light skin with a neutral undertone. Also the finish used to be a lot more glowy now it is more like a natural finish. The good thing about it is that it didn’t break me out as most foundations do. I wish they could bring the old formula back.

First time trying neutrogena foundation
Overall, it was my first time trying this foundation, i've used the color ivory before with other foundations and powders and the shade seems to be the same, so the color was good and fit for my skin color. However the texture itself was kind of thin, it looked like a layer of foundation was thin and oily, it was not full coverage, it looked like a skin tint. I would wear it as a skin tint/ foundation for occasions like quick runs or errands. I would not buy again though because it is not full coverage.

not the same product
Overdue review. I used to love this makeup, but i ordered it a few months ago and clearly the formula has changed. I is runny and oily, and now i have to put it on and take a tissue and wipe off the oil. terrible change, whatever they did.

Would not recommend for long term wear . Used it for a few months while it lasted and my skin , was rough , dry even when using a primer . Changed to a different better quality one and my skin improved . Worst foundation ever !

Love it
I’m loving how this foundation blends flawlessly into my skin and feels incredibly lightweight all day — it never feels heavy or cakey. The natural, radiant finish gives my complexion a fresh, healthy look while evening out tone and smoothing imperfections.
