cream for face scars - #15455

Myra

I am really stressed about these face scars that just won’t go away. A few months back, I had some bad acne, and now I'm left with these dark scars all over my cheeks. I thought they would fade away, but it feels like they’re getting more noticeable instead!!! I have tried, like, a couple of different over-the-counter creams for face scars, but nothing seems to work. One had retinol, and another had vitamin C, but honestly, I can’t tell if it's doing anything positive or just making my skin more irritated. I’ve also heard people recommend silicone gel, but I don’t know if that’s really what I should be trying??? I mean, do creams for face scars actually help, or is it more like a waste of money? I was thinking about seeing a dermatologist, but I’m scared it’s gonna be super expensive and I just don’t know if it’s worth it. Are there any good creams for face scars that any of you guys have tried that actually worked? Or should I be looking into more aggressive treatments? Honestly, any advice would really help, I’m just looking for some hope here.
