## Overview

Almay Clear Complexion Matte Finish Liquid Foundation is a dermatologist-tested, lightweight foundation formulated with salicylic acid to conceal blemishes, minimize pores, and control oil for acne-prone and combination skin.

## Description

Our breakthrough for breakouts: This lightweight foundation with salicylic acid manages to conceal blemishes, control shine, minimize pores, and suppress acne flare-ups, all without suffocating your skin. The soft matte finish disguises blemishes—not the texture of your skin—and allows you to build coverage without caking. We added the maximum strength dose of salicylic acid (a powerful blemish fighter beloved by dermatologists) to treat current breakouts and help stop future ones, but made sure the formula isn't irritating. Perfect for acne-prone, oily, combination skin and everyone else who ever gets breakouts. As always, our clean foundation is dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, fragrance free, and cruelty free. Available in 14 easy-match shades

Review: My HG foundation - This is my holy grail foundation. It is medium to full coverage, matte but not flat finish and very long-lasting. It is also about 80% transfer-free. My skin is acne-prone and a lot of other foundations either clog my pores or break me out, or won`t give enough coverage, but this beats them all and happens to help calm my current breakouts during the day. After taking off my makeup, my skin looks better than when I put it on, which tells me that salicylic acid is working. The one thing that you don`t want to skip with this foundation is your moisturizer, because it may settle in wrinkles and fine lines. Also it may look heavy and cakey if more than one layer is applied. I find this looks more natural when applied with your fingers, but I prefer a synthetic slanted kabuki brush for full coverage. My skin is oily, but this foundation keeps oils at bay for the whole day and I never feel greasy or have the need to blot or use powder. Setting it with powder, however, helps to keep it in place perfectly. The one con is this product causes flashback in photos. It may not be the case with medium skin tones, but with fair and light shades it is. I wouldn`t use this product if going out at night where photos will be taken. Also because of the staying power I prefer to clean my skin by taking the foundation off with makeup wipes first and then washing my face with cleanser and a washcloth. This is not the kind of foundation you can wash off with water and soap easily. I`ve tried more than a dozen of different foundations (from drugstore to high-end), but this works best for me.
Review: Great Foundation - I bought this and an Almay concealer together for my teen. She struggles with acne and wanted her to be able to have coverage and at the same time, not look like she had a mask on. This also includes salicylic acid so it's helping her skin while she wears it. I can tell you that her skin looks gorgeous with this. It looks airbrushed. She never wears any type of makeup, much less foundation, but this is quality stuff. I like the texture (light and easily spreadable), it was a perfect color match and it is long-lasting. I was truly surprised because I very rarely buy Almay products but I didn't want to get some expensive foundation if it didn't work out for her. So, I plan to definitely repurchase but there's just one problem....the bottle is glass. Within two days of having this, I heard a crash inside the bathroom. My daughter dropped it on the floor and it smashed all over the place. Thick shards of glass everywhere. So, I just wish Almay would not use glass bottles although I like the look of it :-(

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the SFP?**
A: No mention of SFP

**Q: What can a teen boy get with makeup that just covers the redness and cant tell that its on the face . Please respond anyone ?**
A: Find one with salicylic acid in it. Also, he can use Queen Helene Mint Julep facemask on spots or his entire face. It will shrink and dry blemishes.
When using just in spots over blemishes, it can be left on overnight.

Faye, former esthetician

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really has help me a lot. I love almay makeup
*by E***L on January 6, 2016*

A little background on myself... I'm 26 years old and I have never ever used make up. All I ever used was eye liner, my whole life. Then recently about a year ago I break out horribly. It's been really hard on me since I've never had my face look this bad. I've never turn to make up... Ever. I didn't even know where to start what to look for. I took my 19 year old sister with me to Walgreen's one day I bought about 6 diffrent make up bottles, garnier, cover girl, bare minerals to name a few. I was going for oil free, acne fighting etc. I spend over 100 dollars! I know, pathetic. Very.... But I was desperate, my job requires me to go into customers houses about 10x diffrent houses a day. It takes a tow on me, I feel that all they see is my nasty acne. And of course I've taken many steps into fighting this acne. It's getting better. Anyway back to my review, I got home and went to work. Long story short almay is amazing! It went in smoothly and made such a big difference in my face, and self esteem. Like I mention before I know NOTHING about make up, I bought some sponges to apply it... Probably using them wrong. I just ended up applying with my hand, just like lotion. A little goes a long way. It has not caused further break outs which I'm so grateful for. And it has 0.5% of salicylic acid. As far as my morning routine I use a proactive toner, then a retinol moisturizer, then elta 46 spf sunscreen, and finally almay makeup. I know my pictures are so ugly and look like I'm at my worst break out, but believe it or not it's a 100x better since I started this new routine. I haven't had any new break outs. I'm eternally grateful for this little bottle. I know it doesn't make my skin look flawless but it does cover a lot of my blemishes. Which alone make me feel better about myself. I'm embarrassed to use this pictures out here having many people look at them. But if it'll help someone like me make a decision, that's all that matters :) I'm just trying to say that I highly recommend. Also keep this in mind, this almay bottle costs 15-16 at Walgreen's, ulta, and Walmart so here in amazon with this particular seller you are getting a bargain! Do your research you will not find it for 5.97 anywhere else! But honestly I would be more than happy to pay that 15 because it's worth it As far as my picture goes, I used a small amount and made a thin layer. I've been using almay for 2 weeks and a half
