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

Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is a lightweight, salicylic-acid treatment foundation that hides blemishes while helping to clear and reduce future breakouts for oily, combination, and dry-combination skin types.

This oil-free liquid foundation combines coverage and skincare in one bottle: a medium-coverage formula with a natural matte finish that contains 0.5% USP-grade salicylic acid to target clogged pores and blemishes. Clinique adds post-biotic Lactobacillus ferment and skin-soothing extracts—red algae, licorice, and caffeine—to calm redness and support a balanced skin surface. The result is a comfortable, long-wear foundation that mattifies, resists sweat and humidity, and is formulated without fragrance.

How does this foundation help acne-prone skin without feeling heavy?

The texture is formulated to feel lightweight while delivering buildable, medium coverage that blurs pores and conceals imperfections. An oil-free base keeps excess shine under control and helps makeup stay in place for up to 24 hours without a greasy finish.

• 0.5% USP-grade salicylic acid to help unclog pores.
• Oil-free, mattifying formula for shine control.
• Light, blendable consistency that layers without caking.
• Resistant to sweat, humidity, and water for longer wear.

Will this foundation reduce redness and visible irritation?

Clinique pairs salicylic acid with skin-calming ingredients to visibly ease irritation and reduce redness over time. While makeup primarily conceals, the added Lactobacillus ferment and botanical extracts support a calmer-looking complexion when used consistently.

• Lactobacillus ferment (post-biotic) to promote a balanced surface.
• Red algae, licorice, and caffeine to soothe and reduce redness.
• Clinically tested formulation designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

How much coverage and what finish can I expect from Ivory shade?

The Ivory shade provides medium, buildable coverage that effectively conceals discoloration and blemishes while maintaining a natural matte look. It blurs texture and minimizes the appearance of pores without looking cakey or overly flat.

• Medium, blendable coverage that can be layered where needed.
• Natural matte finish that still appears skin-like in photos.
• Available in a range of tones to match varied skin colors.

Is this suitable for daily wear and sensitive skin routines?

Yes—Clinique formulates this foundation to be allergy-tested, 100% fragrance-free, dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, and non-acnegenic. It integrates easily into a daily skincare and makeup routine as both a concealing foundation and a targeted acne-treatment makeup.

• Allergy tested and fragrance free for reduced irritation risk.
• Non-acnegenic and dermatologist recommended for acne-prone skin.
• Works with skincare steps—apply after serums and moisturizers.

Who is this for? Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is designed for people with oily, combination, or dry-combination skin who want reliable coverage while addressing blemishes. It suits anyone seeking an oil-free, dermatologist-guided foundation with salicylic acid that mattifies, calms redness, and provides long-lasting wear—especially helpful for those aiming to combine corrective makeup with targeted skin-clearing benefits.
