An oil-free foundation that covers blemishes and helps keep skin looking clear
Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Liquid Foundation is an oil-free liquid foundation made for oily, blemish-prone skin. Salicylic acid in the formula helps dissolve the debris that clogs pores, so the foundation covers breakouts while helping skin look clearer. It gives a medium, buildable coverage with a natural matte finish that does not look chalky or settle into lines, and it helps tone down redness.
The texture
A fluid, lightweight liquid that blends easily with a brush or fingertips and sets to a soft matte finish.
Who it suits
- Oily and combination skin with breakouts
- Skin with redness around blemishes
- Anyone wanting coverage without a heavy, oily feel
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains alcohol and talc. It is not moisturizing, so dry or flaky skin may prefer a hydrating foundation. It is available in several shades; check the shade name before ordering.
