A member asked:

I don't wear a lot of makeup cause im focused on cleaning skin from small amount of acne.is it better for skin to use bb cream or normal foundation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne: It is better for the skin to use a non-comedomal promoting lotion e.g. Cetaphil or neutragena oil-free lotion. Other lotions with oil can promote comedomes and cause plugging of the skin pores.
