Scarring

Hi!! I suffered from Adult acne a few years ago due to a new health condition, while I now have the acne under control I was wondering what would be the best ingredient/product to help with this Once I have my make up on I can hide it quite well but would love to know what would help to bring the redness down so If i want to skip make up for the day I can still go out with confidence!!! Many Thanks

Re: Scarring

Hi there, certain creams such as azelaic acid and topical retinoids can be helpful for the scarring. If this doesn't help; lasers such as IPL or Pulsed dye Laser (PDL) can be helpful. I would go to a dermatologist with an interest in laser for this. Best wishes.
