I agree with those who are advising the washing your face with regular soap (not ones with lotion in them or such)… plain Ivory Soap, 3 times a day and drying it well.
Using make-up on your face, regardless of the type, will still ultimately clog the pores and negate your bodies natural abilities to keep it clean with natural sweat and breathing...
Thus, wearing the make-up may make you feel better for the time but you are only creating a worse and ever worsening situation for yourself.
You are young enough that if you give yourself time, it will clear up and the scars will fade to a very large extent...
Remember that your face or the scars is not WHO you are and if others are so shallow as to think less of you for any acne or scars, then they just are not worth paying attention to in the first place.
If you find that you have oily skin even after cleaning your face those 3 times a day, then use cotton balls and rubbing alcohol to cleanse and help dry up the excess oils... it WILL work. It worked for me.
Also, diet contributes greatly to acne... if you are eating a bunch of greasy foods, then it will get worse... also, as someone already mentioned above, if you are using certain drugs, like opioids, then you will just make it worse (not saying that you are doing so... just making the cautionary statement)
Remember that as a man, as you get older and the face does clear up, even if the scars seem noticeable to you, most others will not notice or care... and IF you still feel uncomfortable about any slight blemishes, then a beard is always an option and may even make you even more handsome to those you want to attract!
Peace, man. All will be well.
