I can't look anyone in the face because of the blemishes on my skin

Ugh, girls, I really don’t even want to look in the mirror anymore. I’ve had acne scars on my face for a while now, and nothing seems to work to get rid of them. When I go out, I slather on layers of foundation, but it seems to make it look worse, and I feel like everyone is staring at me. Does anyone here know of anything that can really solve this scar issue? Honestly, please give me some advice; I’m feeling really down.

The foundation you wear can really clog your pores and make blemishes more noticeable; it’s enough to make anyone lose their enthusiasm for life. You have every right not to want to look in the mirror :slightly_smiling_face:

I experienced the exact same thing; those acne scars never went away for me either, I swear. I used azelaic acid regularly for a while and that’s how I finally got rid of them. It really isn’t something that can be solved with just foundation and stuff :joy:

so, how long have these spots been around exactly? how many months have they not gone away? and do you put sunscreen under your foundation? honestly, that makes a big difference because :grimacing:
