I'm looking for a moisturizer for my acne-prone skin. Preferably something that works as a good base for my foundation.

Yes! Jan Marini is a great product for acne-prone skin - treating and preventing.
It's expensive but you get what you paid for.
I'm using Jan Marini Bioclear lotion cos it's serum-like thus not heavy. But since the price is expensive for just a 2 oz bottle, I don't use it everyday (sounds too good to be true, but it clears up all my quite serious acne problem in within 3 days!!).
Alternatively, I use Nuskin NAPCA cream.
For something much cheaper, you can also use the Loreal Hydrafresh Aqua-gel(green bottle) cos it's oil-free! Plus, great and light under foundation! ;)
Besides the moisturiser, it's very important to use a foundation which are oil-free for the acne-prone skin.
All of the above mentioned, I've been doing it since the past 6 months and it definitely keeps my problematic acne away.
So hope it would helps you too.. :)

I've had kids with acne. The best thing we have found is washing your face 3 or 4 times a day with ivory soap. Using alcohol to get rid of oils. Then using a hemorrhoid ointment to dry up and shrink the pimples. Talk to your doctor about taking a low dose antibiotic once a day for a month as pimples are an infection. Do not touch your face during the day. Never squeeze pimples as they become huge open holes in later life. My children have no acne scars although their faces were like pizza.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Try Clinique's Dramatically Different Gel for oily skin. All skin types need hydration which some people tend to forget. Good luck!
