Dermablend by Vichy might be worth a try?

I heard good things about Dermablend too, although it is rather heavy (to cover the acne presumably) so you might not like the consistency.

You might be better off using something like bare minerals as putting heavy make up on acne is not going to help.

I have the same problem, it's hard to find a foundation that covers the acne but doesn't inflame it!

If you're looking for something cheap, maybe maxfactor xperience foundation may be worth a try? I bought it recently because i had a terrible outbreak on my face, it says it's suitable for sensitive skin doesn't clog pores and is oil free, i found it good its very light and it definitely didn't make my spots any worse, but i know acnes a different ball game.

Just on the bare minerals foundation, have to say i actually found it made my skin very itchy and irritated so i stopped using it

The Lovely Muffin

I suffer with acne and I find the Clinique Anti-Blemish foundation excellent. It's long lasting and gives excellent coverage.

It never made my acne worse, only better.

Thanks for your replies. I heard the Bare Minerals was suitalbe but not sure what the coverage is like. going to test a few out this weekend.
also buying on line is cheaper i see QVC sell bare minerals for a good bit cheaper. I have never bought makeup online and afraid it may be fake and I will have more problems with my skin. has anyone any experience with online buying?

p.s bio oil is magic is had reduced the red marks on my skin left behind

I wouldnt recommend buying foundations online - you need to see how it will match your skin tone in person before buying.
I also love vichy's dermablend - you can use it over moisturiser for a lighter coverage, it is designed for acne prone skin.

I'd second the dermablend but only if you've bad acne to cover as it is quite heavy.

I was thinking more on the lines of having a look at the products and seeing which colour and coverage suits and then buying online.

my skin is clearing up now so no its not to bad and derma blend sounds to heavy for what i am looking for. something light and natural looking, that wont make my skin break out
