I am a 40-year-old woman who still gets acne, are there any topical treatments that work?

Hello, I wanted to know if there are topical treatments for acne and acne scars. I am a 40-year-old woman who still gets acne. My skin is very sensitive, and each new treatment prescribed by a doctor only causes more acne to show up. I have totally lost faith in doctors from my area. The type of acne that I have is red, inflamed, painful to touch, filled with puss, and hard to hide with makeup. I have taken a retin-A course before, and it did work for a while but re-emerged. I also have various scars or “holes” in my skin. Any solutions? Thanks!
