Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually. Since acne-prone skin is sensitive, people with acne may find that certain makeup products, such as foundations and concealers, worsen acne or cause new breakouts.

However, dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology say it’s okay for acne patients to wear makeup. The key is to select cosmetics that don’t cause acne and establish a skin care routine that works for your skin type. To wear makeup on acne-prone skin, follow these tips from board-certified dermatologists.
