Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Foundation with Salicylic Acid for Acne-Prone Skin | Medium Coverage, Natural Matte Finish, 1 oz

All-day, skin-friendly coverage

Clinique's Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup blends comforting coverage with skin-smart care designed for acne-prone complexions. Powered by 0.5% USP-grade salicylic acid, this oil-free foundation works with your skin to help reduce shine while you wear it, leaving a natural matte look that doesn't feel heavy or mask-like.

Beyond the surface, a post-biotic touch from Lactobacillus ferment supports a balanced feel on the skin, paired with soothing red algae extract, licorice, and caffeine. The formula is fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested, pairing safety with performance for sensitive or reactive skin without sacrificing color accuracy or blendability.
