Review 1 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
doesn't blend well but is opaque
-04.29.13
I nearly threw this in the trash. First of all the color selection is really terrible, which wouldn't be so bad except that it's not blendable at all. You get this opaque wrong-colored dot on your skin that just looks bad.
However, the opacity makes this pretty unique in my experience. I was able to make it work by using the Clinique to color-correct my blemishes, then cover it over with a blendable concealer that matched my skintone. This combination works pretty well, which is why this is getting 2 stars and not 1.

Review 2 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
awful
-04.28.13
Quick Take: non-drying
So sad because I was not able to use this product. Tried it plenty of times but it just wouldnt blend. It is creamy at first but dries strangely. Overall not good, way better products with this purpose.

Review 3 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Meh.
-04.26.13
I had high hopes for this concealer. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and was hoping this would check all my boxes. It comes in a limited color range, and was too orange for my skin. The coverage was negligible, and the finish was weird. As in, aside from it being the wrong color, it always just felt like it was sitting on top of my skin and not working with it. Sadly, a return, and the search continues.

Review 4 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Would not blend
-04.26.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I bought this concealer in a shade 02 and it would not blend in. It dried very quickly. I thought it would be an amazing promised because not only would it cover my blemishes, but it "healed" them. I felt like like the blemishes did heal faster than usual, it just did not blend for my skin. I am going to return this to more local store.

Fantastic concealer
-04.25.13
This is one of my favorite products. My 3 teenage daughters use it for occasional breakouts as do I. It works to cover and heal blemishes VERY quickly. I make sure everyone always has an extra tube. We can't live without it!

very dry, too green, impossible to blend
-04.05.13
I went to the store targeting this product because a green concealer with acne treatment sounds just perfect. But I have to say that luckily they gave me a sample first and I'm so glad I didn't buy it. It dries really fast and the green is just impossible to blend. It is very drying. I don't think I would purchase this product at all, and I would recommend you ask for a small sample to actually try it on your face before you buy it.

Review 7 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Does cover up red...
-03.16.13
Quick Take: full coverage, non-drying, very green
...and that is a good thing. I am torn, because when I can successfully cover a blemish it will cover really well and it's not noticeable. But, it is sometimes hard to cover blemishes and if you leave it too thick the green will show underneath my powder. Its not bad, and it lasts a really long time.

Review 9 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
meh.
-02.09.13
Quick Take: full coverage, cakey, heals
It is a good coverage, and it does "heal"... I guess, or at least it doesn't irritate your blemishes as much as most concealers would. Pretty drying. BUT what I really dislike is that it is VERY cakey! Poor shade selection, its was impossible to find a tone that would go even close to my skin tone, so when i do have it on I need a full coverage foundation to coverup the marks that it leaves. Because it drys up so quick its really hard to blend it.
But this would be a very good concealer for those with blemish/acne prone skin, and for those who have skin tones at least close to the shades that they are offering!

Quick Take: full coverage
It is drying, but really is matte and thick enough to cover acne scars and blemishes up! A little goes a long way, so it's so worth the price!

Review 12 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Review 13 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
drying and green but not awful
-01.26.13
Quick Take: green, drying, chalky
It's not too bad. The green does tone down some redness in places and does it better than the average green concealer. It's not oily, smeary or greasy at all which I've found to be a problem with most others. It can cover blemishes with some effort and patting it on carefully. It's very obviously green though. Sometimes I can get it to blend just right but often it's a very obvious green spot.
While I can get it to cover blemishes, at times it just rubs off the blemish part as soon as makeup is applied over it. Nothing wet seems to go over it well.
It is drying and dries to a chalky crackling like finish. So although the color is great for toning down reddness it make it so you really don't want to put it anywhere you don't have to. Because of the dryness it has, you can't easily spread it either. It's a bit of a shame because otherwise it'd be quite great for doing more than cover blemishes. It can stay put fairly well too but it doesn't give a finish that is pleasant to spread something else on top of it.

Review 14 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Best Concealer
-01.26.13
Quick Take: full coverage, lightweight, non-comodegenic
This is not a miracle pimple fixer, but it will not break you out. This is my favorite concealer because I feel safe covering spots with it. The coverage is fantastic and you can layer it as well. I apply it with my ring finger because I find that the heat from my finger helps blend the formula into my skin better. Also, you must blend quickly because it does dry fairly fast. I have used multiple concealers but always end up coming back to this one.

Review 15 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Corrective Green
-01.21.13
Quick Take: full coverage
This concealer is for acne. I have seen some reviews that say good concealer should be multifunctional for under eye/etc. but I disagree. This is for blemishes and it is medicated with salicylic acid so you should not be putting it anywhere without acne. On that note, it is fantastic for people with problem skin. The green color combats the redness. It is a heavier coverage than many other green products like primers. You must pair this with a medium/heavy foundation to cover the green. I love this product. Anyone with acne prone skin should invest in a concealer like this.

Review 16 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Perfection in a Tube!
-01.17.13
Quick Take: non-drying, lightweight
I could not be happier with this concealer! I don't usually get pimples or blemishes but every once in a while I get some around my chin and they drive me crazy :@ I always used to try and cover them up with regular concealer but after a few hours of wear it would dry out and look 10 times worse, and it seemed like they took forever to heal and go away ... until I got this concealer :D I'm fairly pale so I got the lightest shade and it matched my skin perfectly! I was a little worried it would dry the area out because I have dry skin anyways, but honestly it never did ... Soooo not only did this conceal my blemishes immeditately, I seen a considerable improvement in the blemishes after ONE application! Keep in mind I don't have any serious acne issues but I've never used a product that improved my skin so quickly ever in my life. Worth every penny!

Review 18 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Don't even bother. A good concealer is all in one
-01.05.13
a decent concealer could do this job. You have to use this with some other concealer, powder,etc. It's pretty much useless unless you have a big red pimple once in a while.

-01.05.13
Quick Take: useless
You will probably RARELY use this on a big red pimple. You have to use concealer or powder, etc over it though so you won't look green. A good concealer could do this job though.

Review 20 for Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
Not the miracle worker it claims to be
-01.02.13
I bought this product to replace another Clinique concealer that I ran out of and wasn't available for re-order. Knowing that I typically use concealer to cover pimples, I figured this would be a double whammy - cover the red spots and help to make them disappear. I'm sad to say that after using this product for several weeks, the marks have not been diminished. Additionally, the color was much lighter and yellow-er than their similar "light" colored concealers. It doesn't blend very well, either.
