Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Liquid Foundation Natural Beige 60, 0.5% Salicylic Acid Mattifying

Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Liquid Foundation combines sheer, buildable coverage with 0.5% salicylic acid to help treat and help prevent acne while controlling shine.

This oil-free liquid foundation is formulated for acne-prone skin to deliver everyday coverage that also targets blemishes. Built with MicroClear technology, the formula helps the acne medicine penetrate through oil so the salicylic acid can reach clogged pores. Lightweight and mattifying, it aims to even skin tone without feeling heavy, making it suitable as part of an acne-care routine.

How does this foundation address breakouts while providing coverage?

The foundation contains 0.5% salicylic acid, an acne medication that helps exfoliate inside the pore. MicroClear technology enhances delivery through oil for faster contact with the skin’s surface, while the foundation pigments provide natural-looking coverage.
