Try products with AHAs and BHAs to remove that oil. Ok Henrickson Balance products will help your skin. And for a non-comedogenic foundation try cover fx cover click stick!

Re: Foundation makes my acne look worse

I'd recommend a hydrating mask the night before. Green concealers are great for covering redness of acne and purple concealers for any uneven skin tones. I'd avoid BB/CC foundations and anything that has SPFs. I'd go with mineral foundation/loose foundation. Hope it helps! 

Product I'd recommend is :
