I used to have acne scars

As the title says, like many other teenagers, I used to have problems with acne. I tried so many different products promising this and that, but there were no significant changes whatsoever. If I'd skip just one day of using those products, my face would immediately get full of those little bastards. I would switch to another product every 2 months on average, just so I could see which one does the most for my skin. Surprise, surprise, it was the Garnier 3 in 1 face scrub.

Now, the title mentioned acne scars. I don't touch my breakouts, I don't squeeze them or I don't know what and I still experience having scars. I never underwent cosmetic treatments or anything like that, I just consistently used this product for about 9 months now, once a day and I can say it helped reduce the scars. They aren't completely gone, but they are for sure less visible and aren't as red as they used to be. 

I'm sure that those of you with acne problems know what a pain in the butt applying foundation and other makeup products can be, it seems like scars and acne get even more visible (especially if you're just as clumsy with applying makeup as I am). The other day I tried applying a BB cream to my whole face for the first time in a very long time (I only used it to cover up the dark circles around my eyes) and I was amazed! I couldn't see any bumps or dents from scars once I applied the BB cream! It made me so happy knowing that I can finally get rid of my imperfections, one by one and finally be more confident.
