The Best Foundations for Acne-Prone Skin

“If I could only use one foundation for the rest of my life, it would be this one,” says Wnek. And we agree, along with thousands of online customers. It’s available in a wide range of light, medium and deep shades that you can filter through online. Plus, it has a semi-matte finish and medium to full coverage that lasts all day, so you can cover everything from redness to dark spots. Apply this foundation and see nice even skin as a result. However, the bottle doesn’t have a pump which can make dispensing a tad annoying and potentially a little messy.

GH Commerce Editor Jacqueline Saguin recommends this serum by Ilia for dry acne-prone skin. “I love this skincare-makeup hybrid for my dry, sensitive skin because of its dewy effect.” It has a lightweight formula and contains hyaluronic acid which will keep your skin nice and hydrated. Although advertised as a skin tint, Saguin says it has buildable and blendable coverage; “it’s super pigmented, so I like it for more medium coverage looks.” Saguin also appreciates the dropper which makes it easy to apply the foundation. It has SPF 40 so your skin will be protected against the sun as you go about your day, too.
