Skin Camouflage - Makes acne worse?
Hi
I've been struggling with relatively severe acne for some time now and have tried a large range of treatments over several years which have had little to no effect. The scarring is progressively getting worse with each outbreak and I'm becoming increasingly self conscious. Having tried and failed with treatments I'm now thinking of turning my attention to covering it using male skin camouflage creams. Is applying these creams likely to make the acne any worse through blocking pores etc...?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give

Bacteria makes spots and acne worse. Keep that in mind when exploring options.Jt200218 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 10:12 pmHi
