For years your mom yelled at you not to pop your zits, and for years you rolled your eyes and did it anyway. Now, your skin is left with an uneven tone and texture, and you’re kicking yourself for taking all of your adolescent frustrations out on your poor face.

The quickest and most effective ways to get rid of acne scarring are professional treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser treatments, or microneedling (which still isn’t a torture technique banned by the government), all of which start with seeing a dermatologist to see what she/he recommends. Or, if you have some time before the big day, you can add the products below to your at-home regimen.

Biologique Recherche P50 Serum and Differin Gel
These should be applied between cleansing and moisturizing. The serum contains AHA and BHA ingredients and the gel is a retinoid, so both products will exfoliate, renew, and brighten the skin.

Peach or Salmon Colored Concealer
If your acne scarring causes hyperpigmentation, using products like Bobbi Brown’s in these shades will counteract the discoloration. Use one that is thick in consistency, and apply with a small, dense brush (only where you see the change in color!). Apply your usual concealer and foundation on top to even out the skin tone.

“HD” Foundations
Foundations labeled “HD” (like Makeup Forever’s HD Foundation or Smashbox’s photo finish primer) create a blurring effect on the skin. These products will minimize the appearance of scars to the eye and make them disappear on camera.
