mineral powders and something that’s oil free
but i suggest not to wear too Much make up maybe for special occasion or something
ANY foundation will make matters worse. It’s a MEDICAL condition; go to a dermatologist.

Make sure whatever you get says that it is oil-free.
You should try BBCream. All the asian people I know use it. It hides blemishes and makes your skin look clear & smooth looking
foundation won’t cover your acne alone,get concealer and you’ll cover up your acne. please answer mine:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A0WTcZylbHJKKQoBdgfsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090727215240AAp1gLH
Neutrogena Mineral Foundation is perfect for your case. It will cover up anything and make you look nice but the best thing is that it also fights the acne while your wearing it. It goes on nice too. like evenly
Have you tried tinted moisturizer? Even with acne, you still need moisturizer. I don’t think foundation is the way to go to cover scars or discoloration. Use that first and spot treat the rest. You don’t like powder, but I swear by that mineral powder stuff. There are a few brands but the best has the finest powder and I can’t remember which. You brush it on lightly with a fat brush and it buffs it all away. Use a smaller brush to wipe the excess around your eyes and nose. With concealer, be sure it’s not lighter than your skin.
clinique. it is dermatologist recommended. i use it and love it

Hi,
It seems you and me are on the same boat. I have tried several products like proactiv and had almost given up on acne. Now I am using Acnezine and the results so far are very good. Its helping me to get rid of pimples and scars. Was lucky enough to get free samples so an all win situation for me….btw I did pay just the shipping price.
This is the website I think I got my free samples from – http://www.getfreebs.com/free-samples-of-acnezine-acne-skin-care-treatment
Hope this helps
Acne affects people of all ages and all races, and treating it is a slow process that requires diligence and patience. Here are some tips to help you get started.
You Will NeedA gentle facial cleanser
Warm water
A towel
Topical acne medication
Sunscreen
Patience
A tissue
Noncomedogenic cosmetics
Shaving cream with benzoyl peroxide
A dermatologist
Prescription acne medicine
Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
Step 1:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and warm water when you wake up in the morning and at night just before bed.
Don’t use harsh scrubs on acne—it will only irritate and inflame the acne.
Step 2:
Gently pat your face dry with a towel—don’t rub, or you can extract too much moisture from your face.
Be careful not to wash your face too much, which can irritate your skin. If you have oily skin, try blotting it with a clean tissue instead.
Step 3:
Apply a topical acne medication, either one prescribed by your dermatologist or an over-the-counter cream, lotion, or gel containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
Benzoyl peroxide reduces a certain kind of bacteria on the skin and salicylic acid helps unclog pores by correcting abnormal skin cell shedding, so one might work better for you than the other.
Step 4:
Use Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and clean your face. This wipes all the dirt off your face/chest/back. This will get rid of the redness of pimples and lower the size.
Step 5:
Protect your skin with a non-comedogenic sunscreen and avoid excess exposure to sunlight. This is always important, but it is especially critical when you’re using topical or internal acne medication, which increases skin’s photosensitivity.
Step 6:
Use only non-comedogenic, water-based cosmetics that are oil-free. There are moisturizers and makeup formulated for acne-prone skin.
Step 7:
If you shave, do so carefully and sparingly. Shaving can easily irritate sensitive skin, so only shave when it is necessary and only in one direction.
Some shaving creams on the market contain benzoyl peroxide, so check the label.
Step 8:
Don’t squeeze, pop, or pinch acne. It can cause further inflammation and even permanent scarring.
Step 9:
Avoid actions that cause repetitive or prolonged contact with the affected area, like holding a phone against your face, wearing sports equipment, or resting your chin on your hand.
Step 10:
Keep your hair clean and out of your face. The natural oils in hair can contribute to acne, as can hair products that contain oil.
Step 11:
If you take proper care of your skin but you still have outbreaks, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. There are different types of acne that may require different approaches in treatment.
Step 12:
If you’re under a dermatologist’s care, follow his or her instructions carefully. If you’re prescribed an oral medication, take it regularly.
Step 13:
Be patient! Fighting acne is a slow process, and there is no quick fix or immediate cure. But sooner or later you’ll win the battle—and your skin will thank you for it.
Acne is one of the most common skin afflictions in the U.S., and 95% of those affected first suffer from it in their teens.
