Yes, it is formulated to be non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, and is safe for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
Do I need a special cleanser to remove it?

Troubleshooting
Foundation appears streaky or uneven upon application.
Ensure the bottle is shaken well before use. Apply a thin, even layer and blend thoroughly. Make sure your skin is properly prepped with moisturizer.
The shade does not match as expected.
While the formula is designed for a true-to-skin match, the enhanced pigments may require a re-shade match. Visit a counter or use online shade-finder tools. Ensure good lighting during shade selection.
Foundation feels too dry or tight on the skin.
Ensure your skin is well-hydrated before application. Use a hydrating primer or mix a drop of hydrating serum into the foundation for a dewier finish, though this may slightly alter the matte effect and wear time.
Product does not seem to last as long as expected.
Ensure proper skin prep, including oil-free moisturizer and primer if needed. For very oily skin, a light dusting of setting powder can enhance longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Shake Well: Thoroughly shake the bottle before each use to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Application: Apply a small amount to clean, moisturized skin. For more control, use a reusable pump (sold separately) to dispense the foundation. You can also apply directly from the bottle.

Building Coverage: For fuller coverage, add another thin layer and blend.
Compatibility:
Skintypes: Suitable for all skintypes, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
Primer: Works well with most primers; consider a hydrating primer for dry areas or a mattifying primer for very oily zones.

Care:
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning: Ensure the bottle opening is clean after each use. Do not dilute the product with water or other liquids.
