How No Foundation Foundation Works

This lightweight defensive solution is formulated with antioxidants, non-chemical sunscreen protection and specially-treated pigments, fused with light-diffusing mica.

These key sciences work together to create an absolutely flawless finish:

1. Alpha Lipoic Acid (Patented):

  • Provides antioxidant protection from skin damaging free radicals
  • Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, pore size, puffiness and discoloration
  • Smooths skin texture
  • Evens skin tone and imperfections

2. DMAE

  • Tightens and lifts skin
  • Reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

To learn more about DMAE, watch this video:


3. Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide

These two ingredients offer non-chemical, SPF 30 broad spectrum UV protection. Unlike chemical sun protectants, which get absorbed into the skin, these non-chemical ingredients sit on top of skin acting as a natural barrier against sun rays as they deflect the rays away from the skin.

Recent Reviews

New York Magazine – “No Foundation Foundation ($50) is a true testament that one foundation can indeed be worn by different complexions. Our panel of testers ranged from pale white to dark-skinned black, with some olive and tan tones thrown in for good measure. Surprisingly, the foundation blended with everyone’s skin, and coverage was subtle and natural looking.” Read more at NYMag.com >>

Gives me a “natural but better look” – “I love that in one step I can apply my sunscreen and foundation…I have noticed an improvement in overall tone and appearance of my skin since I’ve been using it as well. So at this point, even though it’s very expensive I would repurchase.” Read more at Makeupalley.com >>

I love the SPF 30 – “…No streaking, almost impossible to detect, however it did even my skintone and just made my face look better. Not tight and drying, and not greasy and slick, it is the perfect ‘non foundation’ for hot summer days…” Read more at Makeupalley.com >>

  1. I HAVE JUST FINISHED YOUR 28 DAY HEALTHY LIVING (DIET) PROGRAMME AND MY SKIN IS FAB NO BLEMISHS NOTICEABLE. WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS FOUNDATION TO SEE HOW IT REACTS ON MY SKIN,I HAVE NEVER FOUND ONE WHICH LOOKS NATURAL ON ME, ALWAYS HAVE TO WEAR HEAVY FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATIONS.

  2. I’ve looked all over for a healthy glowing coverage for my face, particularly one that contains a sunscreen and nongreasy. I would love to try this!!!

  3. Sounds awesome!!! I’m a teen who loves wearing makeup but can as im reaching 20 I can see my makeup is actually affecting my face, would really like to try this!!!

  4. I picked up a sample from Sephora along with a sample for Josie Maran Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation. No Foundation Foundation is a far superior product. The Matchmaker product settled in my fine lines and wrinkles and was not as easy to apply. The texture of No Foundation Foundation is slightly tacky and I lightly brushed on a finishing powder it held the powder in place all day. 10 hours into my day my make-up looked as fresh as it did when I applied it. This is the first Perricone product I’ve tried and I love it.

  5. I live in Hawaii and am tired of trying to use foundations that get too oily or streaky by the end of the day; with our sunny days, SPF is a must and to have this all in one–correct color and sun protection, without feeling heavy would be heaven! Want to try this! Aloha!

  6. I spend a lot of time outdoors and still want to look presentable but don’t want the hassle of makeup! I would love to try this product before making a purchase.

  7. It sounds PERFECT for me. I would love to try it!!

  8. If this really works than I want it!!! :)

  9. sounds ideal but i am a little skeptical, worth every penny if it does exactly what it says

  10. I received Dr. Perricone’s no foundation foundation as a gift from my sister for mothers day, I have been using it for a little over 3 weeks and I love it!!! My skin is so much more dewy and even toned its the best!! Can’t wait to try other products!!

  11. I am 64 yrs. Old and would love to try this no foundation, I sure have tried everything else and have yet to find the right foundation, if there is such a product! I would love to try it before I buy it!!

  12. It’s the GREATEST! Hate foundation, but as you age, more & more spots appear, plus the fine wrinkles. Regualr foundation feels like a mask, but this stuff is Awesome, Covers & Corrects the issues. What more can you ask for.

  13. I just LOVE this! I have been a LOYAL user of another foundation for 20 years and truied this because I love Dr. Perricone products. I will NEVER go back. This is truly the best foundation I have ever used!!!

  14. I never wear a foundation. Why not? I am almost 55yrs.My skin is now starting to look its age fine lines,uneven skin tone,dark circles under the eyes,etc..I would love to find something to wear that would help/hide as much as it could.I have tried at least 50 differnts kinds of foundations,they all tend to make my skin look even older and add weird colors,feels alwful,like halloween make up.What a waste of time&money! Am about to give up,unless..

  15. I just read that this product is a favorite of Eva Mendes, and who doesn’t want to look like she does, skin-wise at least? So I ordered a trial size and can’t wait to see if this is my answer to an easy summer look, as tinted moisturizers aren’t the answer to my oily skin, and I would like to appear bright and sunny without heavy masking.

  16. I would love to give Perricone no foundation foundation a try as I have psoriasis to cover and find that other foundations simply soak into my dry skin and disappear. Therefore I have never found a foundation that I am prepared to re-buy. I love the idea of Perricone being more a hydrating and norishing treatment based skin corrector. Lets put the claims to a proper idustrial strength test on clinically dry skin and open the market up to problem skins.

  17. I am 53 and would love a chance to try something new for my skin! Just purchased the “Perricone Weight Loss Diet” and I have anxiously been reading and ready to apply the methods he prescribes! This foundation sounds perfect for my skin.

  18. I am 72 years old, and most foundations look masky on me, but I need something to tone down slight redness, and some uneven skin tones.

  19. Many women fear aging but my goal is to do it as subtly as possible. If this product can provide a smooth and even face for all that it is a middle aged women’s dream come true. I really love the fact that it fits all skin tones as with the changing seasons so comes changing complexion shades. Having only one foundation that I can depend on in my makeup case would help simplify my mornings. I would love to give it a trial run.

  20. 42 years old and a week away from becoming a granny, i feel as though i`ve gone from young to old in only a few weeks! this foundation sounds as though it could be just the boost my skin and my morale could do with. i have used powder mineral foundation for about 10 years, but my youngest daughter(14) has started commenting that it is too powdery and heavy on me now so i have been on the look out for something that will do all that a foundation should, but without the heavy look. could this really be it?!!

  21. I have tried every foundation under the sun pretty much, and they all seem to dry out my skin. I would love to try some of this and hopefully this foundation will be my night in shining armour. I have spent so much money over the years on products that do nothing but irritate my skin. I have tried the Perricone Cold Plasma and absolutely LOVE LOVE that product! I would be a prime candidate for testing skin care products or cosmetics because if I can use it and have results, then anyone can! Thank you for all of your wonderful products Dr. Perricone!

  22. I’ve tried every foundation Estee Lauder makes, and most of Clinique’s as well, plus many drugstore brands. Everything sits on my face like a mask (the kabuki description was very fitting!) I’m 56 and have a lot of redness in my fair skin. sometimes I look like a ghost, and others like I’ve just finished a workout. I’d love to try your product to see if it would help even out my skin tones. Please help! Thank you!

  23. This sounds like a great foundation. I love that it has anti-aging properties while giving a great coverage. I would love to try this.

  24. I recently purchased a copy of The Wrinkle Cure. I was amazed by the information and how it has educated me which has resulted in reducing the inflamation on my face! I was so enthused that I also purchased the Perricone Prescription! I am so excited about what has happened to my skin just by eating more salmon, canteloupe, strawberries, and supplements! I have rheumatoid arthritis and deal with inflamation in my body/skin. In reading Dr. Perricone’s books I have realized that I needed to eat specific fruits, vegetables, and supplements to reduce the overall inflamation. I would be honored to try the foundation and continue to see the benefits of Dr. Perricone’s research. His work is truly a God send for those of us that suffer with RA and inflamation. Thank you Dr. Perricone!

  25. Without a doubt, I need No Foundation Foundation. Here in dry Colorado, a moisturizer AND SPF are paramount! Correcting skin undertones, reduction in appearance of wrinkles and pores; all this with subtle added color? WOW. I would expect to see a naturally improved appearance. I would love to say goodbye to the pasty cover-up and thick SPF and hello to a more youthful look for this 47 yr old! Bring it on!

  26. I just got the foundation this past weekend. I love it! It makes my skin look great! It evens my skin tone and covers every little flaw. I was skeptical at first because the bottle is tiny, but it doesn’t take very much at all, pea size at the most. I will definatly buy this product again and I’m going to try the other Perricone products as well.

  27. i just know would be the perfect person to try this product I have rather large pores with a oily t-zone and some discoloration and recently have been seeing tiny lines under my eyes. I need the coverage but I don’t like the heaviness of makeup all the time. This sounds perfect with coverage and benefits. Would love to try this product.

  28. I am looking for something that makes me look natural, but includes that which would also assist on camoflauging my uneven skin tone without seeping into my lines, wrinkles & pores!

  29. This sounds too good to be true! A foundation that does all this? I’ve got to try it. If it performs as you say it does, you’ve got a customer for life!! Been looking for something like this for years. Didn’t think it could exist!

  30. I received a sample of No Foundation Foundation when I ordered The Metabolic Formula, and just thought I would try some and I love it, I like how it feels and how smooth my skin looks. I work in a foundry and going thru menopause at 55+, it was nice to see how pretty I look wearing it. I also would like to be a tester for Cold Plasma. My husband is considering lipo suction for his double chin and wears a beard to hide it, he is 63 yrs. young and what I’ve read about the product it sounds like a winner! Thanks Dr. Perrione for your research and hard work!

  31. I just started taking your Perricone DMAE Capsules and would also love to try the No Foundation Foundation. I golf at least once a week and feel the sunscreen and foundation combination would be perfect for me.

  32. My biggest issue has always been finding a foundation that doesn’t look like I’m wearing any. Still searching! This product sounds fantastic!

  33. Ok, I literally tried hundreds of foundations and have yet to find one that is “natural”. I have rosacea and just about every ingrediant in the “so called” natural” foundations causes me to flare up. Sounds like the Perricone team has found the “secret” to beautiful skin without having to wear a mask in addition DMAE in the No foundation seems to (according to research) improve skins texture and overall appearance. I’m game! Can I try your product?

  34. I think this is a great product! I would love to be able to try it out because what it claims to do sounds fabulous. The current product I use feels heavy and doesn’t last.

  35. I am learning more and more about Perricone living and would really like to find a foundation that didn’t feel like a mask but that still did something to help!

  36. My skin is uneven and sallow, it isn’t radiant, it doesn’t glow anymore, mother nature has definitely taken it’s toll. I’d like a foundation that is light and natural feeling, something rejuvenating.

  37. Thank you for some great information

  38. I am a very loyal customer when I find a product that works and I know all of Dr. Perricone’s products are ahead of their time. I’m mad at myself for having sun damage at age 27 and need coverage without the masking. This No foundation foundation sounds like something I would wear and recommend for many years.

  39. I like wearing this in the summer when my regular foundation just feels too heavy. The no foundation foundation also helps keep my hyper-pigmentation at bay.

  40. This product sounds wonderful. I would love to try this product. I don’t like to wear a heavy foundation so this no foundation foundation looks like it is a winner. I’m sure this would be a winner for me.

  41. I recently purchased a flower shop, and my hands working with flowers are a mess, but my face is the most important appearance that a customer sees. I would love to be able to try this product. and look my best to my customers. When starting a business you know the money flow isn’t their, so I would really, really love to try this product and be a tester.

  42. I think this is a great product! I would love to be able to try it out because what it claims to do sounds fabulous. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism this year, and my face is always looking washed out, tired, pale, sallow, rough, and dry. I constantly have black circles under my eyes, and I just want to look bright and beautiful! I want that glowing, dewy, healthy beautiful skin! This product sounds like it would help me out so much.

  43. I am currently a Dr. Perricone skin care user. I like these products the best after many decades of searching for a miracle cream. I am tempted to try the no foundation foundation makeup but am concerned with its ability to cover properly after reading other reviews that it does not conceal imperfections. Would like to be a tester of this product.

  44. This sounds fantastic! I am a makeup artist and this would make my job a lot easier if I didn’t have to do so much colour matching and mixing foundations to match my client’s skintones :)

  45. I have been using the skin clear vitamins; vitamin c serum and high potency eye lift for a month. I am seeing a great improvements. I am slowly building on other products too. They are costly, but worth it! Being a single mother of 3, I would love to try a sample before taking the plunge!!

  46. what about no foundation at all?

  47. I just bought the No Foundation Foundation after reading Dr. Perricone’s amazing book 7 Secrets to Beauty, Health, & Longevity. I really love the consistency, but I found the shade to be a little too dark. It would be great if there were multiple shades that one could buy. After wearing it, my boyfriend immediately noticed that something was different and asked if I had changed anything. He said I looked great. If there was a lighter shade available this would truly be the perfect foundation.

  48. I just tried No Foundation Foundation. It went on smooth and silky and my face looks amazing. I’m 59 years old and face products are my passion for looking good. This product delivers the natural look and feel with protection for your face in today’s hectic world.

  49. I would love to try the no foundation foundation! I really dislike the maskey look of most foundations!

  50. I am 47 I have tried “everything”. I have wrinkles galore. Dry skin & peach fuzz. Basically I have problems. I need a miracle. Please help!
