POSITIVES
• Contains a proprietary mineral complex to help control oiliness for a clean fresh feeling and less shine
• Aloe vera and chamomile extracts calm inflamed skin to reduce redness for a less blotchy complexion
• Hides redness in 9 out of 10 women, and eliminates the appearance of pores
• The formula gives complete coverage while clearing, soothing, and keeping acne from re-appearing
• Dermatologist tested
• Hypoallergenic and won’t clog pores in most people
• 6 colors to choose from
NEGATIVES
• It won’t work for everyone! Even Almay admits that 9% or 10% of women won’t see an improvement using this product.
• Along with the natural ingredients aloe and chamomile, clear complexion makeup does contain a lot of man-made ingredients, including parabens. This is a concern to some people but not others. There are many natural ingredient foundations like Lavera available but they are more expensive.
THE VERDICT
The people have spoken! 🙂 With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon with over 80 reviews most women find this foundation does a very good, if not excellent, job just as it promises. If you are unlucky enough to be one of the few who find the product causes irritation instead of soothing it is possible to return the item. At such a low price point — $10-$12 — for a product that could be absolutely great for you, Almay clear complexion makeup is worth a try.
