I have severe acne and every foundation I try breaks me out. I haven't found one that doesn't. I've tried to go for only bb cream since I don't want to irritate my skin but that breaks me out as well! I don't know what else to do. Anyone know a of good foundation/bb cream that won't cause breakouts?

The revlon colorstay foundation dry/normal doesn't make my acne worse and covers almost everything.

Tartes Amazonian clay is the only foundation that doesn't break me out. The clay actually helps acne. :)

I have sensitive skin and I do breakout easily. I been using l'oreal true match for a while now and I love it it doesn't feel heavy on skin and never broke me out.

Mineral powder, no chemicals, doesn't go into your pores, good coverage and reflects light creating a glowing complextion :) conceler underneath if needed.

Neutrogena, L'oreal, BareMinerals, Dermablend, Clinique. They're made for sensitive and acne prone skin, some lines of their makeup works to heal acne supposedly, anything containing some salicylic acid can help prevent acne, and the brands like Dermablend and Clinique can give you really great coverage/colour correction for scars and blemishes. :)

I agree with Alma. CoverFX is free of irritants and gluten which contribute a lot to make up break outs.

I have severely acne prone skin and most foundations break me out and bb creams destroy my skin. I don't have the money to test out high end foundations (I had bad luck with Chanel breaking me out too) but I have found for some reason that Rimmel's face products don't break me out :) And I've only tried a couple physician formula stuff but they treat my skin well. I use an NYX primer and it doesn't hurt my skin...I can leave a list of what I've tried and my skin's reaction to it if you like
