Conceal and Correct: 3 Top Concealers and Foundations for Acne-Prone Skin

Between flare-ups, lingering blemishes, and the redness that so often accompanies unwelcome pimples, when it comes to achieving a flawless-looking complexion, acne-prone skin doesn’t always have it so easy. If you have acne, chances are concealers and foundations are always within arm’s reach to hide blemishes in a hurry. When it comes to hiding acne, you’ll want to reach for products that glide on smoothly and avoid formulas that can aggravate your skin—potentially leading to more breakouts. Here we share three concealers and foundations that can help camouflage breakouts on acne-prone skin so you can put your best face forward. The kicker? They can all improve the appearance of your skin while they help you cover up!

If you’re looking for a lightweight product that doesn’t slack on coverage, this weightless formula is the one for you. It’s so lightweight, in fact, you may just forget you’re wearing it. The light-diffusing spheres can help improve the appearance of dull skin and wrinkles, all while blurring those imperfections you want nothing to do with. Best of all, it’s oil- and paraben-free.
