Acne-Friendly CC Creams

This Matte Neutrogena CC Cream Was Created for Acne-Prone Skin

The new Neutrogena CC cream boasts a formula that was developed with dermatologists specifically for acne-prone skin. The Neutrogena Clear Coverage Flawless Matte CC Cream is moisturizing and it has the ability to provide full coverage without the worry of clogging pores or worsening acne.

Formulated with brightening niacinamide, the Clear Coverage Flawless Matte CC Cream is color-correcting, oil-free, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. The clean formula is free from not only oil but also fragrance, parabens, SLS and SLES sulfates and phthalates.

The acne-friendly makeup product can be found in 34 shades and this also happens to be the brand's most extensive line to date. There are shades like 1.0 Shell, 6.0 Wheat and 10 Sienna, plus plenty of options in between for different undertones.
