I just started using this concealer a few days ago on both active acne and acne scars, and it covers everything! It's buildable and has a creamy texture. I am very fair, so I use the first shade and am not yet in need of the green color corrector. The shade I bought works wonderfully and covers incredibly well. This is the best concealer I've used from a drugstore to date and I'm so happy I found it. I have applied it with both a brush and directly from the stick, and I find that the stick does a great job of applying with a workable texture. Once you apply it, it's easily blendable. It doesn't smell like anything either; no harsh chemical or medical smell. It also doesn't highlight my spots which is something I've loathed in other concealers. Of course, it depends on your skin and skintone. If you can find a stick to match your skin tone, it's a fantastic buy and great for the price!

I have used this concealer for years!! it's seriously the only concealer that has ever really blended into my skin and made it look so amazimg! i use it with a liquid foundation mostly, but it works great just on the skin too. it blends so well, you cant even tell you have it on. it's not like some concealers that have the weird two toned look when you apply them, and its very apparent that you're wearing concealer. I have breakout sometimes and i also have a few scars and dark spots for have acne as a teen, and this blends them away! it's amazing, i have tried more expensive brands like mac, but none blend like this. my only con is that you have to wait a minute before you put any powder on because it takes a while to set. but its better than it used to be, i think they changed something with it, because it blends in faster than it used to which is a plus! i love it i'll never switch again, i highly reccomend!

I use the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Smoothing Stick as part of my daily makeup regimine. I have fairly uneven and sometimes blemished skin, and I need something that covers up the blemishes and helps even out the skin tone. The Healthy Smoothing Stick is good because it is easy to apply to targeted areas--you don't have to use this on your entire face if you don't need it. It is easy to blend into your skin, and you can apply other types of makeup over it such as powder and blush. In addition to my skin tone, I also have large pores. I tend to find that this makeup can often increase the appearance of pores, so I try not to use in areas where my pores are largest. As far as length of coverage, I find that the smoothing stick does not cover my blemishes all day-- by mid day, especially if I have sweat at all or been out in the weather, I find that my makeup appears almost gone. This is definitely something I have to reapply at least one additional time throughout the day in order to keep my skin covered. I do find that it helps me not break out any further after applied to blemish areas, so in my general experience it is safe on blemishes.

Neutrogena is a brand I have known since before I started using make-up.  My mom used Neutrogena products and I have come to know them as an adult.  I want to first just say that this product is so sleek looking!  I enjoy pulling it out of my makeup drawer every day to use it because it looks cool and it is so easy to use.  I apply this product as sort of a concealer under my eyes and in any discolored areas of my face and it blends in like a dream and feels so smooth on my face, which is probably why it is called a smoothing stick.  I purchased this product in the light 02 color and it really helps to brighten up my face and even my skin tone.  I do not use foundation over this product, but just some bronzer and blush and I'm good to go.  This product makes my makeup routine quick and easy, not to mention I think it looks great and is healthy for my skin.  What a great brand to be loyal to after so many years.

I bought this and was a little skeptical.  I thought that it would be very oily on my skin and slip off during the day, since it's a cream product.  However, it didn't!  It went on incredibly smoothly and blended into my skin without a hassle.  It doesn't look like I'm wearing any makeup at all, and it doesn't turn cakey on me.  It conceals everything; scars, acne, dark circles, discolorations!  It's also made by Neutrogena, which is found in drugstores and grocery stores.  This means that it frequently goes on sale, so you can look good without spending a lot of money at MAC or Make Up For Ever.  This stays on all day and isn't transferred onto clothes or anything else your skin comes in contact with.  With acne prone or combination oily skin, I would recommend setting it with a translucent powder or a powder the same color as your skin tone and the concealer.  Overall, I recommend this product a lot! 5 stars!

I like a quick, easy to use beauty product. I have a bit of an acne problem and have searched for a way to cover it without making it worse. It is aggravated by stress, so when I have the least time to worry about covering it is when it is the most obvious. Neutrogena Healthy Skin smoothing stick (I use Light 02 in the summer) covers my blemishes without making them worse. I use it on problem spots before putting on a light layer of powder concealer. It is inexpensive, which is absolutely necessary on my college-student budget. Neutrogena is a brand I really trust, and I highly recommend this product.

I have a combination of oily and dry type of skin. I am also very prone to acne. A concealer is a must-have part of my makeup routine. I always find time to have to conceal my brown sun spots and red spots from pimples; whether they are just starting or are healing, a concealer that is of good quality is definitely a need. I have loved the Neutrogena HEALTHY SKIN smoothing stick since the day I tried it. I like the way they packaged it as it is very small and I like the lipstick-style application technique. I also like the way the concealer is shaped at the top. It can be applied easily as it conforms to all surfaces of the face and/or neck. You do not need to apply tons of layers of the concealer to hide your imperfections! The product also gives a moisturized texture upon application on blemishes.  It does not "dry-off" quickly unlike other types of concealer. And I find that most of the time, I do not need to do reapplication. It covers different kinds of imperfections; specifically, my red or brown spots are gone in seconds!
