Default Makeup for Pock Scars and Discoloration?

I've always had pock mark scars but recently I noticed I have some discoloration as well. I use Neutrogena foundation and concealer right now but this, along with Loreal, Cover Girl, and Revlon and have not helped reduce the appearance of the scars.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

You should definately try BARE MINERALS...you won't believe the coverage
and how good your skin feels.

I use Bare Minerals, too--and I love it! It gives great coverage (I like a medium-heavy coverage that still looks "natural") and covers all of my acne and discolorations without looking cakey. Plus, I think it has improved the condition of my skin, since the products are so natural.

My mom has a lot of pock marks from her acne problem as a teenager, and she prefers the cream-to-powder based foundations, like MaxFactor Panstick. I would seem that something this creamy would sink right into the pores, but it doesn't--she always looks smooth and even.

Have you tried the Neutrogena micro-d scrub that is supposed to help fade scarring? I think Acne Free (I think that's the name--it's the product that advertises that it's comparible to ProActiv, but it's available for less in stores) also makes a multi-step kit that's supposed to help fade scars.

I have the same problem. I use MAC studio fix pressed powder, it feels good with out feeling heavy and it makes me look flawless
