I always use bb cream but I want a little bit more coverage so I kind of want to start using foundation. Since I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin, will foundation make me break out? Or should I just stick to bb cream?

It could or could not, it depends on the foundation.

I'd say it depends on the foundation. just look for a high quality product made for your skin type. I think clinique foundations are awesome :)

You can always buy a foundation for acne (there are tons at your local drug store) or a mate foundation works well. BB cream actually tends to break people out.

There really isn't much of a difference, just because you are using a bb cream doesn't mean another bb cream wouldn't break you out. Anything you are putting on your face could have to potential to cause breakout. Just try some samples of some different foundations. I think Clinique foundations are good and pretty gentle for the skin.

If your worried about breaking out use a foundation with out oil and use a green primer to reduce redness
Foundation recommendation is loreal true match and green primer would have to be the elf green mineral primer but I think that has oil in it I'm not sure
