Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Foundation — Neutral 1.0 fl oz, 0.5% Salicylic Acid, Natural Matte Medium Coverage

Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is a salicylic-acid powered foundation that provides medium coverage with a natural matte finish while helping to unclog pores and reduce breakouts.

This oil-free liquid foundation combines makeup coverage with acne-targeted skincare ingredients. Formulated with 0.5% USP-grade salicylic acid and post-biotic lactobacillus ferment, it blurs pores, controls shine and supports skin comfort while concealing blemishes. The lightweight texture delivers a natural matte result that lasts through sweat and humidity, and the range of shades aims to match many skin tones.

How does this foundation help acne-prone skin?

The formula contains 0.5% salicylic acid, an exfoliating beta-hydroxy acid that helps clear and prevent clogged pores while providing buildable coverage. Additional soothing ingredients reduce visible redness so the complexion appears calmer as blemishes are concealed.

• Contains 0.5% USP-grade salicylic acid to help unclog pores.
• Lactobacillus ferment supports a balanced skin microbiome.
• Includes red algae extract, licorice and caffeine to help calm redness.

What kind of finish and coverage can I expect?

Expect medium, natural matte coverage that evens skin tone and minimizes the look of pores without feeling heavy. The lightweight liquid blends easily and builds where you need more coverage while maintaining a skin-like, non-cakey appearance.

• Moderate coverage for concealing blemishes and unevenness.
• Natural matte finish that controls oil and shine throughout the day.
• Blends smoothly for a skin-like result and 24-hour wear.

Is this suitable for daily wear and in humid conditions?

The formula is oil-free and designed to resist sweat, humidity and light moisture, making it suitable for everyday use and warmer weather. Clinical testing reported fewer visibly clogged pores after regular use, and the waterproof, sweat-resistant properties help makeup stay put.

• Waterproof and sweat-resistant performance for long wear.
• Oil-free composition to reduce excess shine during the day.
• 24-hour wear claims for lasting coverage and control.

How safe is this product for sensitive, blemish-prone skin?

Clinique formulates this foundation to be gentle and dermatologist-tested, with no added fragrance and non-acnegenic labeling. Ophthalmologist tested and allergy tested, the product aims to minimize irritation while combining treatment-grade salicylic acid with skin-calming actives.

• Allergy tested, fragrance-free and dermatologist tested.
• Non-acnegenic and ophthalmologist tested for added safety.
• Post-biotic technology and soothing extracts to reduce irritation risk.

Who is this for? Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is designed for people with dry combination to oily, acne-prone skin who want a two-in-one product: reliable cosmetic coverage plus acne-focused skincare. It suits users seeking a natural matte look, oil control and a foundation that won’t aggravate blemishes—especially those who prefer dermatologist-guided formulas and lightweight, long-wearing finishes.
