I don't know if anyone could help me with my acne, but I figured it would be worth a shot just to see people's opinions. 

I've literally had acne for as long as I can remember. I would definitely say it makes me depressed and hate myself. The sad thing is that it makes me hate my face, and I know I would be so much better looking without all the scars on my face. I'm now a freshman in college, and its definitely a lot better than it used to be in the past. I used to get a breakout almost everyday, and now its maybe every few days.  I'm fine with breakouts, but the scars they leave behind are the absolute worst. I've spent so so much time researching things that may help scarring but as i'm sure most people with acne-prone skin understand, i'm nervous to try anything in fear of the possibility of it breaking me out. I would literally do ANYTHING to get rid of all the scarring on my cheeks. My acne makes me embarrassed to live my everyday life. All of my friends have perfectly clear skin and it makes me feel even worse about myself. Sometimes I just sit here and cry because of how ugly it makes my face look. I know people always say that you're your own worst critic, and no one thinks its as bad as you think it is, but that doesn't make me feel any better lol. 

I've attached pictures in natural lighting so you can see exactly how bad my scarring is. I'm sorry if you're reading this with skin 10x worse than me and saying "she doesn't even have bad skin" well... it's definitely bad to me. I just want to be able to walk around without makeup and not feel like everyone is staring at my skin. I'm currently trying natural aloe vera straight from the plant because I was reading that it helped a lot of people with their skin, and i've only been using it for about a month so I probably shouldnt judge too hard, but I dont think its doing anything significant to help my scars. If anyone has absolutely anything at all that they could recommend, please help a girl out because i'm so sick of living my life trying to hide my face from the world. thanks for reading.....bless you all

change your diet and lifestyle,tead up whats good and bad and absolutely stay away from bad stuff like sugary stuff,no white potatos,eat sweet ones,drink water regular,no white bread,eat whole meal and limit how much of it you eat.

you got pigment in your skin and that can be treated and ptobably leads you to believe its worse.

keep your fingers off you face,wash with clean towel,sleep with a clean pillow case say every 3 days.drink water regulary.

once you get your skin under control keep it under control then you can tackle and skin texture probs.

just slapping on fancey creams is only fighting it from outside,fight it from within.

dont buckle under to eating burgers coz yoyr mates are and eating frys and shit like that.eat and healthy option.

@MisenteHi, this is hyperpigmentation not scarring. It is the after effects of acne, wounds if you will that take a long time to heal. Please see a list of cures and how to tell if it's PIE or PIH under my below signature "faq" and the skin section : PIE and PIH. I would get this undercontrol before anything else. IF you are still actively breaking out it might be time for Accutane or a hormonal medication. The fastest treatment for this type of thing is vbeam or quadro star pro lasers that only work on pigment.
