I have suffered acne for 16 years and having oily skin makes many foundations'slide' off by mid morning. In addition many brands of make up can make spots worse. Neutrogena however contains salicylic acid, an acne sufferers dream - it fights spots and bacteria whilst absorbing shine.Along with that the coverage is good - bye bye 'mask effect'!I also bought the face powder. Again it contains salicylic acid so it will not clog pores or leave that awful 'flakey nose effect' we greasy skin sufferers know all too well! Before using neutrogena I had tried Rimmel matte foundation (cheap but slid off in a couple of hours), Clinique (expensive, and gave only partial coverage), and Revlon colourstay (good but expensive- £11.99- and difficult to remove). I bought the neutrogena products from Boots for £8 each (incidentally they often come up on the 3 for 2 offers!) This puts them in the middle price bracket. The mirrored compact has lasted me 3 months so far, and the 30 ml foundation lasts approx 6 weeks ( i wear it 6 days a week).I recommend these products whole heartedly - since discovering them i haven't used any other foundation.

I like what you had said so far - if you expanded a little on the points already made and added in details of how much it costs and where to buy it from then you would probably find that you would get a few more higher ratings. Good luck and welcome to Ciao.
