Treatment for acne scars and hyperpigmentation on dark skin

I would like some help with treatment for a condition I've battled with since teenage years - I'm in my 40's still applying thick makeup and breaking out occasionally. I've not had any invasive treatments, or topicals except over the counter stuff. What are my options for clearing up the scarring? Experts how would you treat this ? Thank you all in advance

Seems like they're pretty old scars! You can opt for surgical treatments if you like but if you can't afford them, non-surgical treatments are the only alternatives. It's really a difficult task to find the right product. A person who has tried some can only tell you which one's really worth trying or i guess the reviews and testimonials are also helpful. I had facial scars and my derma recommended invicible scars. They took a little long to flatten them maybe because mine too were quite old but it worked. Hope it helps! Wellwisher!
