How to deal with my acne and acne scarring if i wear makeup?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As for anyone: Topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated especially before you go to bed. Your acne scarring needs to be addressed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with a laser, microsurgery or filler -- I'm sorry you ended with scars in the first place; all acne is manageable nowadays.
