To care for skin with imperfections, it is necessary to select special cosmetics. Foundation is a product that should nourish, moisturize and protect the dermis. The wrong remedy can even harm, so we present the 2018 rating of the best foundation creams For problematic skin.
How to choose?
If the amount of sebum produced significantly exceeds the norm, pimples, blackheads, acne are formed. In order to mask well, and at the same time treat imperfections, it is necessary to use a tonal foundation designed specifically for problematic skin types.
A properly selected product has both a cosmetic and therapeutic effect - it does not clog pores, creating a “mask effect” on the face. Therefore, before buying a masking product, you need to read the label. If the following designations are indicated there, you can safely buy it:
- antibacterial effect. If the cream contains salicylic acid or zinc, it is definitely recommended for purchase. They help to quickly relieve inflammation, redness, dry out rashes, gradually cleansing the face;
- moisturizing effect. For problematic and combined dermis, products containing essential oils of cypress, bergamot, jojoba, peach, cedar are suitable - they perfectly nourish the epidermis;
- the presence of extracts of chamomile, aloe, rosemary, ginseng, calendula. They activate the regenerative and healing processes of the skin of the face;
- matte effect. Foundations containing St. John's wort extract, tea tree, cucumber, mint, lemon balm reduce the production of skin secretions. The face is less shiny throughout the day, the pores are narrowed and do not clog.
It is worth noting that you will not find a completely natural cream; in any case, it will contain some synthetic components. But professionals do not recommend purchasing a foundation if it contains:
- silicone - it will only aggravate the condition of the epidermis, causing even more inflammation;
- parabens - which destroy the structure of healthy cells of the dermis.
Important! It is almost impossible to find a product that does not list talc (a natural ingredient in cosmetics that can clog pores). Therefore, when buying a tonal foundation, choose the one in which this component will be at the end of the list, that is, it will be contained in a minimum amount.
Experts do not advise buying a cream with a very dense consistency for oily skin. It quickly clogs pores and feels unpleasant on the face. Such a basis would be appropriate for creating permanent make-up for an event or photo session. For daily suitable for use light tonal agent, fluid or emulsion.

Worse things can happen to the skin of the face than another lack of sleep or unexpected inflammation. What if there are painful acne on the face at the same time, post-acne has not disappeared anywhere, new black dots have appeared? A light BB cream is not suitable for masking such skin. Afisha editor Alina Smirnova tested several foundations, some of which promise to cure problems, others to hide them, and still others to do both.
Gel for problem skin with tinting effect La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo +
Cream Ninja
expectations
"Effaclar Duo + Toning" was created for problem skin with severe imperfections, residual marks (post-acne). The effectiveness of the Effaclar Duo+ anti-blemish treatment is enhanced by an instant tinting effect.”
Reality
This cream is suitable for those who do not at all (no time, no skills, or for some reason impossible). Apply Effaclar Duo + instead of basic care, immediately after. After that, you can immediately go about your business, or you can add a couple of drops of concealer here and there, or do a full make-up (as usual). In Russia, Effaclar Duo + is presented in the universal shade Light, slightly golden and very beautiful. The cream does not hide inflammation, but somehow cunningly reduces the contrast between pale healthy skin and reddened sick. Due to this, in general, there is no strict need - if you are not a perfectionist. Yes, and in powder too: the product has a beautiful satin finish that lasts at least until lunch. A makeup minimalist's dream.
Holika Holika Petit BB Clearing SPF30 PA++
It's impossible to make a mistake
expectations
“This is a real salvation for problem skin prone to increased sebum production. The cream gives the effect of matte and smoothness, retains the necessary moisture in the skin and is quickly absorbed after application. Covers imperfections and evens out skin texture.
Reality
This perfect cream for a teenager, a lazy person or: he has only one shade (it is impossible to make a mistake), and you can apply it with absolutely any tool. It does not even need to be applied to the entire face - if desired, you can limit yourself to problem areas and carefully blend the borders. Petit BB is completely invisible on the face, but therein lies the catch: obvious flaws will still have to be covered up. On the other hand, the cream from the second or third layer still hides all the small sins, which makes it an ideal fighter against post-acne, small scars and bruises under the eyes. The composition contains tea tree, but I did not find its characteristic smell or any visible effect. Like all Korean BB creams, Petit BB rinses off best. With proper cleansing, if it does not cure acne, it certainly will not harm them.
Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions BB Cream SPF 40
Not who he seems
expectations
"BB cream for problematic or oily skin controls oil production, creates coverage of the necessary density, protects the skin from exposure."
Reality
But this cream I could not evaluate. If the original Anti-Blemish Solutions tone in Light was a little dark for me, then its BB brother in Medium Deep completely turned me to the President of the United States 
. Therefore, I can’t say anything about the healing properties of salicylic acid, which is part of it - in this form, I did not dare to go out even to the neighboring Pyaterochka. The BB cream gave off a superfine satin finish that evened out the tone but didn't hide any blemishes - even when I tried a thicker drop. This tone is more likely to please the owners of combination skin with shine in the T-zone, but, alas, it will not work for real acne sufferers.
M.A.C Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation
Cream for special occasions
expectations
"A waterproof foundation that stays on skin for 24 hours and can double as a foundation or concealer."
Reality
The most lethal cream of this revision. It hides almost everything, due to which the face begins to resemble either a mask or a doll. After half an hour, it sits down and looks a little more natural, but still too perfect for everyday life. Keeps, as promised, to the last - even if you do not fix your makeup, he will age with dignity. In general, a great choice for when you need to look perfect, but you forgot to tell your skin about it. The absence of SPF also hints that the cream was created for photos - nothing will glare and make you whiter in the world.
Foundation Nars Sheer Glow
Almost perfect
expectations
“Enhances, improves the appearance of the skin. Allows you to create a coating of different density. Evens out skin texture and tone.
Reality
The brand, of course, turned down the radiance - on the contrary, Sheer Glow mattes well. About the coating of different density - it's true. When applied wet, it gives a casual translucent tone, and with a synthetic brush, it gives a dense masking. An additional layer of powder is not required, only a concealer for the brightest spots. Resilience is top notch. Yes, you will have to get your face wet, but towards the end of the day. A separate bow to the assortment of light shades - there are about a dozen of them in the line.
Lancôme Teint Idole Long Wear Compact Fluid Cushion Foundation
Luxury mobile disguise
expectations
"Teint Idole Ultra Cushion is a new generation cushion that combines the sophistication of the palette of the legendary Lancôme foundation line with flawless coverage, eliminating even the smallest imperfections."
Reality
The sponge system still scares many people in terms of the development of bacteria. But in fact, Cushion is an acne sufferer. Just by patting the sponge on your face, you create an even coverage that doesn't accentuate pimples or scars, and the layering ability of products (including Teint Idole) is phenomenal. Again I was unlucky with the tone, but this time the bright orange blotch easily stretched into a realistic tan. Note to those with tonal means - Teint Idole is perfectly stewed. Disguises can range from unobtrusive to "I'm perfect". Questions are only about the ability to keep protection from oily sheen: once every 4 hours, the coating will still have to be updated.
Conclusion
The cosmetics industry has taken a giant leap. You can find the perfect foundation for 500 rubles, and for many thousands. Expensive ones will win due to durability, beauty of packaging and a wide palette of shades, cheap ones are taken at a price and unpretentiousness. Healing creams failed precisely in disguise, although logically they should hide everything from everyone better than ordinary ones.
As a result, Nars Sheer Glow proved to be the best: it combines camouflage, matting, healthy radiance and durability in reasonable proportions. M.A.C Pro Longwear works best for a party or photo shoot, while Holika Holika Petit BB works best for those who love naturalness. If you add to this set the creams that we wrote about and, there is definitely plenty to choose from.
Due to environmental problems, poor heredity, malnutrition and an abundance of junk food, lack of sleep and other "charms" of modern life in conditions big city many girls have skin problems. Cosmetologists and doctors present statistics according to which only eight or ten out of a hundred women have skin that can really be proud of. The rest constantly have to deal with unpleasant and unaesthetic manifestations on it.
Pimples, acne and comedones require special care and treatment. Moreover, it should be carried out in a complex manner, from inside and outside at the same time. It is necessary to focus on a nutritious diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, consuming enough fluids throughout the day. There are special therapeutic and caring masks, tonics and creams that form a decent care for the problematic dermis in everyday conditions.
But the treatment can take quite a long time, and to be a beauty with perfect skin want right now. In this case, concealers, powders and, of course, foundation creams come to the aid of the fair sex. A light and weightless BB product is unlikely to help hide especially pronounced problem areas. Manufacturers of foundations for dermis with existing flaws promise excellent coverage of painful areas and care that prevents further occurrence of new problems.
Of great importance in the care and high-quality makeup of such an epidermis is right choice tinting product.
Peculiarities
Ladies who are not happy owners of perfect skin need to approach the choice of foundation very scrupulously. After all, skin with severe problems will react painfully to irritants, have increased sensitivity to the components of the composition. At the same time, it should have sufficiently pronounced properties of matting and toning.
Let's look at the properties of a foundation product that are necessary when used for problem skin.
- One of the required properties this tone should be hypoallergenic. The special sensitivity of the problematic dermis requires a composition that does not provoke allergic manifestations, irritations, redness and inflammation.
- The texture should be light enough to make the cream suitable for enlarged pores. A cream that does not clog pores is called non-comedogenic. If it does not have this property, the remains of the cream in the skin pores will attract impurities, prevent sebum and sweat from coming out. Because of this, inflammation, acne and black spots will become even more.
- Together with the lightness of the texture the tone should be quite dense. The composition that hides irregularities can be a salvation for a person with pronounced problem areas, inflammation, acne marks and black dots. Particularly good covering power can be provided by a professional product that provides a permanent coating. With a good overlap of irregularities and imperfections, the composition should not form a mask on the dermis and be impermeable to air.
- SPF factor as protection against harmful effects sunlight is welcome for such products. Foci of inflammation and sensitive epidermis should be especially protected from ultraviolet radiation. Also, this rule is suitable when applying the cream in the area around the eyes.
- Ingredients with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, are also a huge plus for creams of this type. They allow not only to hide problem areas, but also to treat inflammation.
- For oily and mixed epidermis the content of matting ingredients will be useful. They will not only remove oily sheen, but will also regulate the production of sebum by the dermis. To do this, you can perfectly use natural oils and plant extracts - such as chamomile, St. John's wort or tea tree.
In summer and winter conditions, it is necessary to select the appropriate properties of the product. For a hot period, cosmetics should have increased sun protection, and for a winter cold, an option with protection from cold and wind is well suited.
It is necessary to select a remedy with a note of compliance with the type of epidermis. This will most accurately level out all the shortcomings. Of course, the sticker on the packaging is not a guarantee of quality. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the composition of the selected product.
Compound
Among the ingredients of the foundation, there will definitely be substances that make its texture easy to use and comfortable to wear. Pigments that provide dense coverage and natural skin tone are also a must for such cosmetic products. But besides this, products intended for the care of problem skin should be safe, and even better - useful for the epidermis.
Let us dwell in more detail on the safety of the product. It is best if he has natural composition. But there are not so many such goods on store shelves. To find an organic foundation, you have to work hard. But even if cosmetics contain artificially created ingredients, it should not contain harmful substances, especially contraindicated for sensitive dermis.
- Most harmful substance , which can be found in the composition of the tone is aluminum. Less commonly, it can be found in mattifying cosmetics. Scientists have proven that getting on the skin, this element has an unpleasant property to accumulate in the cells. In the future, a high concentration of aluminum in body tissues can provoke the formation of cancerous tumors.
- Silicone- a very common substance in tonal products. And you can find it in both budget and premium products. Due to its presence in the composition, the cream forms an impermeable film on the surface of the epidermis. The skin ceases to receive oxygen, besides, it cannot get rid of excess moisture. Heat and humidity provoke the growth and reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms, which are one of the causes of inflammation and acne.
- Another substance with negative effects is propylene glycol. It is "famous" for its ability to cause allergic manifestations. It is also able to absorb water, depriving the skin of moisture. Its impact in combination with silicone is unpleasant. Due to its allergic activity, propylene glycol provokes the appearance of microtraumas on the skin surface, and bacteria that multiply due to the silicone film actively use this. Through microcracks and spots, they can penetrate into the depths of the epidermis, provoking deep inflammation and suppuration.
- Glycerol, derived not from plants, but synthetically, can act on the skin like propylene glycol. At the same time, the substance obtained from vegetable oils acts on the skin just fine.
- Talc should not be present in healthy organic cosmetics. It is able to absorb water and lipids, depriving the epidermis of moisture and protection. May be the cause of the first manifestations of dryness and withering of the skin.
For oily problematic skin, it is better to use a fat-free mineral cream. It may not contain fats, or it may contain volatile silicones. They evaporate from the surface of the skin, leaving pigment particles and useful elements.
For dry skin, non-volatile silicones can also be used, which will create a breathable coating on the dermis, allowing it to receive oxygen without giving up moisture.
natural glycerin very useful for the epidermis, it has a powerful moisturizing effect.
It is good if the foundation for the problem dermis contains natural vegetable oils and extracts, vitamins and amino acids, antioxidants. These substances will nourish the epidermis, restore and fight the signs of aging.
Often added to cosmetic products grape seed extract and green tea, vitamin complexes. Licorice and quince extract help control the production of oil in the skin. And tea tree oil, extract from chamomile and St. John's wort have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.
Dry skin needs slightly different care products. These are moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamins A and E.
Kinds
Foundation products for problematic dermis may vary in texture.
- Base creams have a light liquid consistency. They do not clog pores and are non-comedogenic. They also do not interfere with the oxygen exchange of the epidermis with the environment. These products are most often based on silicone oils, which are easy to apply and rinse off, while having a sufficient masking effect. Due to these properties, such foundations are most popular with users for daily use.
- Dense means have a heavier texture. Due to this, they have a masking effect, which allows you to hide significant skin imperfections. Such products are best used to create an evening look. For application, you can use a sponge or a special brush.

Most often they contain silicone or wax. different nature. They are quite difficult to apply because of the special texture, especially on flaky skin. You need to have a special skill, otherwise the cream will certainly create the effect of a mask. It is not recommended to use such products on a daily basis.
It is better if the composition of cosmetics intended for painful dermis is hypoallergenic. Natural beneficial ingredients will provide decent care for sensitive, redness-prone skin.
Pharmaceutical cosmetics usually have a good composition, often organic. It is also captivating that such products are sold exclusively in pharmacy chains, which is a guarantee of quality and proven ingredients in the composition. It can not only mask problems, but also provide healing effect.
- demodicosis- an unpleasant skin disease caused by a special type of mites. With demodicosis, it is recommended to use products with the simplest and most natural composition. Cream tone should be light and non-greasy. Well, if it will have antibacterial properties. With such a disease, especially when choosing a product for the summer, you need to pay attention to the level of sun protection. The SPF factor must be indicated on cosmetics in the treatment of demodicosis.
- Rosacea characterized by reddening of the skin and vasodilation. With it, it is recommended to use a tone on a base that does not contain oils, no talc, no smell. You need to be more careful with retinols, hydroacids and other components of the composition, and be sure to conduct a skin test before use. It is imperative that such cosmetics have UV protection. And to neutralize redness, you can use a foundation with yellow pigments.
- Couperose- expansion of blood vessels and capillaries. With it, the remedy should be natural, with a safe composition. It is better to use specially designed cosmetics, it will allow not only to hide vascular network but also reduce or eliminate its appearance and increase its area.
If there are age spots on the skin, you should pay attention to thick creams to hide discoloration of the dermis. In this case, protection from sunlight is mandatory, because their exposure can cause the appearance of new spots and aggravate existing ones. From age spots, you need to select dense creams with the right shade skin, and to the natural tone of a healthy dermis.

Ingredients for combination skin
cosmetic preparations for natural basis can be found very rarely. However, among non-natural matting products, you can choose an acceptable option, the main thing is to study the composition in detail.
Harmful components
Choosing foundation, you need to pay attention to the fact that the composition does not contain the following components:
Useful material
The composition of a quality product should include the following components:
- Volatile silicones. This component should be present in products for oily skin. After some time, the silicones evaporate, while maintaining a uniform tone.
- non-volatile silicones. They should be present in foundation creams for dry epidermis. They moisturize the skin well, while creating a porous structure that allows air to pass through well.
- natural glycerin. Unlike synthetic, natural has a positive effect on the condition of the skin. Glycerin absorbs moisture well, so it nourishes skin.
- Salicylic acid. This component has an antimicrobial effect, so it dries the inflamed elements well.
When choosing a foundation for problem skin, you should pay attention not to the price of the drug, but to its components, since even luxury products can contain harmful substances.
Differences between summer and winter tonalnik
For summer and winter, you should buy two different foundations.. During the cold season, it is best to use creams on silicone or oil based. This is because in winter sebaceous glands not as active as in summer, so the problematic epidermis can become combined or normal.
For the summer, preference should be given to light and gentle emulsions that will not clog pores. As part of such a toner should be an SPF filter that will protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Shade selection
Choosing the perfect shade is a difficult undertaking. It is best to choose a tone together with an experienced makeup artist or cosmetologist who will select the product not only according to your color type, but also according to the condition of your skin.
Before buying a foundation, you can buy a small sampler, so you can try several products and choose the one that is perfect. As you test different foundations, pay attention to how your skin reacts during the day and how it feels after washing. If the drug causes discomfort, then it is better to abandon it and try something else.
To choose the right tone for yourself, you should apply a small amount of cream to the lower part of the jaw (closer to the neck) and compare the resulting shade with your natural one. The transition should be almost imperceptible.
