anti acne foundation

struggled with acne for a long time and was used to wearing very full coverage foundations (estee lauder double-wear, which i still swear by), but since my skin has cleared up i've been looking for something with a light, natural coverage that still hides acne scars/helps ease redness. i tried probably 5 different "light coverage/tinted moisturizer" type foundations and never found one that actually looked natural AND still covered what i needed it to for those no makeup-makeup type of days. then a sephora employee who i think i owe my life to now told me to try this one and i was super hesitant, but purchased it and now i can't image life without it (i've had it for 5 days). i'm obsessed. and it smells amazing i didnt even know that was a thing foundations could do. it looks unbelievably natural, feels like there's nothing on your face, and covers up my acne scars/dark spots, and does not oxidize. holy grail item i'm not kidding. ...I have hormonal acne and lots of dry spots and this foundation did such a good job at not making those dry spots flake. ...Glowy Foundation.
