Best for Acne-Prone Skin: It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 Dr. Robinson recommends this foundation for oily skin for those with acne-prone skin.

Plus, its color-correcting technology helps to cover up dark spots, redness, and blemishes. "I'm on my second tube of this stuff and really like it," reported a shopper. "It's thick and creamy, buildable, and doesn't turn orange and oxidize during the day. The sunscreen is great — I love the high SPF. The formula doesn't break out my very sensitive, oily skin unless I sleep in it by accident. It can be used with a setting powder or spray and will last a full eight hours unless you sweat."
