Yeah... I have really bad acne, some days worse than others, and I know there are products out there that can cover it up... o__o I just don't really know any.

I hear a lot of people use the word acne and think it's another word for pimples when it's not. I guess because different types of pimples are hard to explain it would be easier for me if people posted pictures.

I would say the best make-up to use would be Dermablend Coverage Cosmetics. They aren't too expensive either.

You can take a look at their website.

Have you tried Astringent? That works really well to get acne to clear up quickly. Clean and Clear works really well too. They also came out with some new foundation that adjusts to your skin tone. I can't remember what it's called, but I can google it if you'd like.

Hmm I have acne, not terrible but I get flamed up and breakout into quite a few pimples now and again. Yeah it's annoying and it drops your self-esteem.

I guess I'llhave to agree with the suggestions above (?)
I might try them, too.

It's worse if you have a career or course where everyone looks at you, fashion for example. Even my confidence really needs a boost ><

Honestly, you should never cover up acne, you should use astringent and acne medication, and try to keep beauty products off of your skin. If you clog your pores, you make acne worse. I found this out the hard way by having horrible acne and using cover-up daily for two years. I now have perfectly clear skin, no acne whatsoever, but I have tons of horrible scars all over my face, so it looks like I still have horrible acne.

Right, see cover up ache cream can mix in the pores and just clogs everything up more. Cover up is great for a special occasion but not everyday. Heres some tips that may or may not help you.

- Wash your face with a face cleaner, take a shower or bath at least once a day. (These are given)
- When you are eating greasy foods like pizza, Macdonald's, etc. try not to touch your face.
- It now has been proven that eating greasy foods doesn't directly effect your pores, but if you eat at MacDonald's six out of seven of the days in the week you will feel like crap and thus will not feel like doing anything which makes the acne come.
-Finally, if the acne is really bad go to a dermatologist. They will cure it...or kill you. I often forget which one. ;D
- If you still have questions ask around the guild some more and/or google it.

I use an astringent called Sea Breeze. It works really well!

Don't just try to cover it up, try to fix it to. You could go se a doctor about this.

Don't touch your face or put anything on it. Concentrate on keeping your skin clean.

Well it is an argue able subject. Some Deratoilgists think that exesive heat (Like summer) makes acne worse. While oters claim to have cures that are heat based. I have no idea which is right but, if I find out, I will let you know.
