Acne Solutions™ Liquid Makeu

Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is a foundation that doubles as a breakout treatment — salicylic acid sits inside the coverage, so the product working on your blemishes is the same one hiding them. It's oil-free, lands matte-to-natural with moderate coverage, and comes in a 24-shade line-up. Dermatologist tested, and Clinique notes it is a dermatologist recommended foundation brand.

What it actually does

• Treats while it covers. The formula carries 0.5% USP grade salicylic acid, which Clinique says helps visibly unclog pores, clear existing blemishes and head off new ones.
• A clogged-pore claim with a timeframe. The brand reports that after 10 days, bare skin shows significantly fewer visibly clogged pores — an asterisked manufacturer claim, not our own testing.
• Blurs and mattifies on contact. It's a lightweight liquid that softens the look of pores and evens out blemishes straight away, then keeps oil and shine in check through the day.
• Targets redness too. Lactobacillus ferment sits alongside soothing additions — red algae extract, licorice and caffeine — which Clinique credits with visibly calming redness.
• Oil-free, and matched to oilier skin. Clinique lists it for Dry Combination, Combination Oily and Oily skin.
• 24 shades. Natural matte coverage across an extended shade range.

How to use

1. Apply to clean skin, starting in the middle of the face and blending toward the edges.
2. Add a second pass only over blemishes or redness rather than coating everything.
3. Remove it fully at night — leaving a treatment foundation on works against the point of it.
4. Because it contains a BHA, introduce it gradually if you're already using other acids or a retinoid, and wear SPF in the day.

Questions

Can I use it on top of my acne treatment?

It already contains salicylic acid, so stacking it over another BHA or a strong prescription treatment can be too much for some skin. Start a few days a week and see how you go, or check with your dermatologist if you're on prescription actives.

How much coverage does it give?

Moderate, with a matte to natural finish. It evens out blemishes and blurs pores without the weight of a full-coverage base, and you can layer a little more over the spots that need it.

Will it clog my pores?

It's oil-free and the brand's whole claim for it runs the other way — salicylic acid is included to help visibly unclog pores. As with any foundation, remove it properly at the end of the day.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades in stock go out sooner; with 24 shades in the range, some are ordered in for you and sit at the longer end. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.
