I had pretty bad cystic acne over the summer and my dermatologist put me on spironolactone, doxycycline, and aczone. It took a while to kick in but I haven't had a cystic pimple since September! I still have a few pimples here and there but they're tiny and no big deal.
The problem is that I have so much scarring on my face! Under my eyes are scarred, my chin, my forehead, and my temples. I have really pale skin so the tiniest mark shows really well.
I haven't found a perfect makeup routine to cover up the scars yet. Any ideas?
I use make up forever matte velvet plus foundation and a combo of NYX HD concealer, Mac prolong wear concealer, and sometimes dermablend concealer (the color is a little too dark though so I don't use it often)
It's so hard knowing that every time I look in the mirror there's a HUGE reminder that my skin is damaged from acne.
