How can I rid myself of acne scars?

Posted by Health · Leave a Comment

haha i asked that strangely. but i just asked this question, but i realized some more important info i should add. i’m a 16 year old girl who has had dark brownish reddish acne scars that look like freckles/indents on my cheek. i also have a red line above my lip from a pimple. most of the scars are 6 mos. to a year old.
ever since i started using clinique 3 facewash, toner, and moisturizer, my face has looked almost flawless… but these scars appeared before i used it…. so i tried clinique scar cream, it didn’t work.
i’ve used clean & clear in the past and i was like totally allergic to it or something. Read more of this post
