hey honey
i used to get bad acne too and i really think that rather than cover it's best to try and do what you can for your skin.
So saying, it's a case of matching skin type, need and product. I used to love the l'oreal touche magique both under and over foundation. Green concealer can be amazing for diluting redness.
But ultimately I think getting your skin into a routine that works is better than covering up if you're able to.
Mine eventually cleared once i started using micellar water and a cleanser/lotion combo that worked for me x

I've had problem acne for.. 17 years now :O and I agree with treating acne itself being key.
But in regards to foundations and concealers that work well if for when you DO want to cover acne, it's going to also depend on your skin type and what you like, which is where trying samples of products is always a good idea.
For example myself I have oily, acne-prone skin with a lot of scarring. I prefer full coverage and want my foundation to last all day. I've discovered powder foundations just don't give me the coverage I need, and cream foundations melt on my skin. For my particular needs I really like...
- MAC Studio Fix Fluid & MAC Pro Longwear. These are both my absolute favourites as they last all day on my skin and cover well.
- Revlon Colourstay I used a few years back and I really like this too!
- Clinique Anti-Blemish, and also ELF Studio Acne Fighting Foundation. Both have good coverage and contain salicylic acid for treating acne while you wear them.
- Concealer-wise ELF's Maximum Coverage oil-free concealer for covering blemishes.
Also a good primer (I like ELF's Tone-Adjusting Green primer for these) is crucial as it creates a barrier between your skin and the foundation, plus also making sure you regularly wash brushes used on acne so that you're not spreading the bacteria.
Everyone's skin is different so it can take a lot of trial and error finding what works for you, it really did for me! In my opinion out of all your makeup the right foundation is the most important product as it can make or break the rest of your makeup and your skin itself so it's well worth investing in.

Sammy when my daughter was young and getting bad acne I suggested she dab each spot with tea tree oil, always making sure to use a clean cottonwool bud for each spot. She did this every evening after cleansing and toning her skin and just before bed. It seemed to dry the spot and after a couple of days it disappeared, so no acne scars. Hope it works for you.
