Is there no way I can get rid of my acne scars(acne vulgaris). They are red and on both cheeks and around mouth.
Also, which moisturizer/bb cream I can use to combat this as I have combination and sensitive skin.

Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequalae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis. There are a lot of treatment options for scars available as of today. The treatment depends on the duration of scar and facilities available. The advance treatment option includes Fractional CO2 lasers in multiple sessions.Topical medications may be of little use and will supplement laser treatment. Other option includes dermaroller. Hope it helps you
