Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Foundation Alabaster 1.0 fl oz — 0.5% Salicylic Acid, Oil‑Free Natural‑Matte Medium Coverage

Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is a salicylic-acid facial foundation that provides medium, natural-matte coverage while helping unclog pores and reduce visible breakouts.

This oil-free liquid foundation blends skincare and makeup into one step: it conceals blemishes and evens skin tone while a 0.5% USP grade salicylic acid ingredient works to help unclog pores over time. The lightweight formula delivers a natural matte look with medium coverage, resists sweat and humidity, and includes soothing post-biotic and botanical extracts to help calm redness. Clinique’s dermatologist-tested formula is fragrance-free and designed for dry combination to oily and acne-prone skin types.

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

The texture is formulated to be lightweight and oil-free, so it provides coverage without adding excess shine or weight. Salicylic acid is included at 0.5% USP grade to support pore-unclogging while the base keeps the finish natural-matte and comfortable for daily wear.

• Medium coverage that blurs blemishes and reduces the look of pores
• Oil-free, non-acnegenic formulation avoids extra pore-clogging
• Matte finish controls shine throughout the day
• Designed for dry combination to oily skin textures

Will it stay put through sweat, humidity and long days?

Yes—this Clinique foundation is formulated for extended wear and offers resistance to water, sweat, and humidity. You can expect long-lasting coverage and oil control without frequent touch-ups for many skin types.

• 24-hour wear claims with a natural matte appearance
• Water- and sweat-resistant for active or humid conditions
• Maintains even coverage without sliding or patching
• Ideal for busy days or travel when longevity matters

What skincare ingredients are included to calm and balance skin?

Beyond salicylic acid, the formula contains lactobacillus ferment—a post-biotic ingredient—plus botanical extracts like red algae, licorice, and caffeine to help soothe visible irritation and reduce redness. These components are chosen to support skin comfort while the foundation wears.

• 0.5% USP grade salicylic acid to help unclog pores
• Lactobacillus ferment for microbiome-supporting properties
• Red algae, licorice, and caffeine to help calm and reduce visible redness
• Fragrance-free, allergy tested, dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested

How do I choose the right shade and apply for best results?

Choose a shade that matches your jawline and natural undertone; Clinique offers a range of shades to accommodate varied skin tones. Apply a pump or two to a fingertips, brush, or sponge, blend from the center of the face outward, and build coverage where needed for a natural effect.

• Available in multiple shades, including alabaster for fair tones
• Start with one pump; layer lightly for more coverage
• Blend at hairline and jaw for seamless finish
• Set with powder if extra matte control is desired

Who this is for: Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup suits people with acne-prone, oily, or combination skin seeking a treatment-ready foundation that conceals blemishes while supporting clearer-looking skin. It’s a good option for users who want medium coverage with a matte finish, long wear, and formulations guided by dermatology—especially those preferring fragrance-free, non-comedogenic cosmetics that combine makeup and targeted skincare benefits.
