A resist composition which generates acid upon exposure and exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under action of acid, and which includes a base component (A) which exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under action of acid and a fluorine additive component (F) which exhibits decomposability to an alkali developing solution, the fluorine additive component (F) including a fluorine resin component (F1) having a structural unit (f1) containing a base dissociable group and a structural unit (f2) containing a group represented by general formula (f2-r-1) shown below in which each Rf21 independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a hydroxy group, a hydroxyalkyl group or a cyano group; n″ represents an integer of 0 to 2; and * represents a valence bond.
