    Basically i have scars and like red marks from acne on my face. mostly neck . Im just wondering how can i cover these up (im male btw so make up is not an option) . I tried bio oil for the scars but that made me break out in spots . The scars dont bother me as much as the red marks .I dont have a massive budget for this maybe 100 euro or so if good cream . any help here would be greatly appreciated

    Camoflage cream - specially for scars/marks etc afaik. Ask in a chemist or make-up dept in a large store.

    I would prefer not to wear make up if at all possible

    Never liked bio oil. I've found Palmer's cocoa butter with vitamin E to work really well on scars. A light green concealer works wonders, too.

    It's *not* make-up! What will you wear then, a scarf?

    didnt really ask for a smart ass comment. i thought there could be some moisturiser like cream . I go to gym and play sport a lot so make up or something along those lines would not go well with sweat :o

    Maybe I was a bit sharp, sorry. Anyway, camouflage cream is not make-up. It is designed to cover scars etc. A lot of men use it. Don't know how it performs if you would be perspiring a lot, though. There may be a sports version?
