Hello! I will start this note by giving you a real example, that is, me. During my adolescence, I suffered from acne (acne on the back). I cried because, in addition to being painful, all those super cute dresses and blouses that showed the back were immediately eliminated from the equation, because it was something that made me very insecure. On top of that, all those pimples that came out left scars and hyperpigmentation spots, which for me were horrible.
Time passed, and after countless treatments with the dermatologist and many products, the marks began to fade and now, it seems that I only have freckles on my back; from time to time, I get one or another outbreak, but I have learned to control it and personally, (at the risk of sounding like a total cliché) what has helped me the most is accepting myself as I am and starting to use the clothes that I wanted, little by little I realized that most people didn't even notice them, it wasn't something that influenced their perception of me.
There is a reality: acne scars are difficult to fade, and the key is patience, it can take months, if not years to remove and it is likely that they will not disappear completely. But you can do something about it, the skin on the face is much thinner, so it is easier for the products to absorb and work. Don't worry, we are going to share some products that have helped us on the arduous path of eliminating acne scars. It happens to all of us!
