Oil-free foundation that doesn't clog pores

Can anyone recommend a foundation that will definitely not clog my pores? I've recently got on top of my acne with tretinoin but I have to be really careful with putting anything on my face.

I had a no 7 foundation I loved but not oil free. I need something not too dewy not too matte...

Have you tried the No7 oil free one? It’s called a matte foundation but I don’t find it to be matte. I also add one drop of the No7 highlighting drops if only skin looks dull or if I need extra glow at any time.

Thanks, I'll give that a look.

Revlon colour stay

I would say Revlon colourstay too, the oily/ combination skin one

I would go for mineral make up. Lilly lolo Is a good brand.

Nars tinted moisturiser or the ordinary serum ones are good for not clogging

Thanks all. I use nars concealer which I love but can't get on with the TM, I find it too shiny and can't find a good colour.

Will look into TO altho shades are often a problem for me. That's why I was so sad about no7 cos the colour was perfect!

I will check out bare minerals and the lolo one, but also thanks to the PP who suggested the oil free no 7 one. I had been put off by reviews of it but took the plunge and so far I don't mind it at all, especially with a bit of moisturiser underneath or some vit c sérum like you say. Remains to be seen if it gives me spots but at least I can get the right colour!
