I used to use this as my "going out at night" foundation because it has good staying power and good coverage for people looking for cover imperfections. I stopped using this when Clinique came out with Clarifying makeup because this did tend to break me out a little. I also read on cosmeticconnection.com that this item has some comedogenic ingredients that can clog pores. But if you don't have a problem with acne, this is a great product.
