I'd recommend finding some strong acne treatment and putting it onto your problem areas, letting it dry too so u dont wipe it off.
Find some oil free and safe skin clearing concealer. I know Neutrogena has skin clearing makeup (foundation, concealer, face powerder, etc).
however, i've learned from persona experience that makeup tends to make acne worse. I've stayed clear of it now and i am natural, i only wear skin clearing powder and it has improved my skin.

There is medicated cover up made by companies like Avon that will help... but mostly leaving it alone will make the acne go away faster. Covering it up will only make it seem more obvious... so just wash and keep your hands away, it will clear on it's own.
Too much foundation and powder will clog your pores and keep the acne around.
Also, oil wipes help too during the day if your wearing make-up to avoid it clogging too much without removing make-up

I used to have acne, as well. Not too bad though- but I highly recommend Retin-A 10%. You have to order it from a drug store liek Walgreen or Jewels or whatever pharmacy you have around there.
As for foundation, I use MAC Studio Tech. It's a cream/powder foundation that works great! It covers blemishes really well!
I guess, I could just say a mixture of acne gel and good quality foundation. =0 G'luck

If you've had a an acne problem for a while my advice is to find a good dermatologist who can prescribe stronger stuff that you'd find OTC. Sorry to say that covering it up with makeup only makes it more noticeable. Got to get to the source from the inside out. A dermatologist can help you with that.

make sure to wash you face twice a day and get a good foundation too help conceal it. Aquasmooth is a great foundation thats light and easy to use. If you have alot of acne then the best way is to just not wear makeup because it clogs your pores. Get a bowl of hot steaming water, a towel and put the towel over your head and the steam will clean your pores, then be sure to use a good astrigent. hope that helps! - chellie

is it a good idear to wear makeup when you have acne? makeup as oil in it and it will make your skin worse. go see you doctor and see if he can give your a cream to clear your skin up first then if you really must cover your acne try a cover up stick just on the stops and a light powder to set the cover up stick is all you need

Hi Laura,
I suggest you try to fix your problem with the acne first, befor using make up. Since the make up will block you skin pores your skin will not be able to breath. which will make the acne worse. you should see a doctor to give you a good medicine against acne and when you have reached a good result you could start to use make up..
well I am not saying that you must not use make up, you can but not foundation, blush and stuff that you use on your whole face since it will make it worse for you..
Godd luck!

Usually, make up will only make your acne worse.
You should try a face cleanser every morning and night (that's what I do).
And, seek medical advice from a doctor/parent...Try Proactiv...An acne treatment! It works like a miracle! And then, you'll be able to use as much make up as you want without having to worry about it infecting your skin!

Start with some concealer for an instant fix. use Stridex pads every morning an night, they will get rid of the acne you have now and keep it away in the future.

clean & clear makes wonderful pen concealors that both cover acne, and help treat it.
one helps to flatten blemishes, and the other to cover the redness. unlike other makeups they're not bad for your skin. They're oil free and don't clog pores.
