Hey everyone! Due to my acne treatment I'm on, my skin has gone from oily to flaky dry! My issue is that I still get oily on my tzone, but everywhere else is a flaky nasty mess! I'm looking for a foundation that is good with both my issues! I prefer a full coverage! Thank you!

I would make sure you have a nice, thick moisturizer first, along with some really good powder. the moisturizer will help with the dry ness, while the powder will help with the oily t-zone. I really like the aveeno moisturizer. for foundation, revlon color stay, elf acne fighting, el double wear foundation. good luck!

Thank you, I'll check those out. I already moisturize good but my skin seems to eat it all up!

Try using jojoba oil at night it helps a lot but it's greasy

Rimmel lasting finish has been amazing for me! I've dealt with acne for a long time and it's helped my skin through its dry phase in winter. Very good coverage too!

I'm having the same issue.
I'm still experimenting but I do not recommend full coverage!
I'm used to fuller coverage but they are horrible on flaky skin even when I moisturized like crazy, it's just look super cakey and scaley.

If you can find a moisturizing full coverage one then go for it.
I'm using the MAC Face and Body and it's my fave.
On my t-zone I use an oil control primer, Rimmel Stay Matte.
Then apply the Face&Body.
You can just pat it on and literally add a few layers and it doesn't get cakey haha it just looks like skin.
I managed to get a decent medium coverage with it

Chelsea, that's the foundation I use right now! And it doesn't look good on my flakes! :(

Thank you Aurora! I love a good full coverage foundation as I have a lot to cover up!
