How do you manage acne scars, which are so stressful every time you look in the mirror these days?

Every morning, I find myself sighing deeply. I used to hear compliments on my beautiful skin, but at some point, my skin became more and more uneven, and I'm increasingly frustrated. Especially when I stare at my face in the mirror of the elevator at work or under the harsh lighting of the bathroom, I feel like I need to hide somewhere. Looking at these dark marks that makeup can't quite cover, I'm acutely aware that it's time for serious acne scar management. Home care alone seems limiting, and I'm deeply troubled. In the past, even when I had breakouts, they would quickly subside and the marks would fade. But now, once they appear, they just won't go away. No matter how diligently I apply concealer, it only thickens the makeup, and after a while, my skin starts to peel, making it look even more uneven. My friends say dermatological procedures are the only solution, but I'm worried about the cost and don't know which procedure would be best for my skin type, so I hesitate. I'm really curious to know if any of you have found any effective at-home acne scar management methods. My skin is actually a bit sensitive, so I'm a bit apprehensive about trying new cosmetics. I've tried a few regenerative creams and serums that others have recommended, but I haven't really noticed any noticeable changes. Every morning, I look in the mirror and feel a sense of shame, which has led to a decline in my confidence and a greater reluctance to interact with people in person. Especially in brightly lit cafes or when I'm outdoors in the strong sunlight, I often find myself covering my face with my hand, a sign of my timidity. These seemingly trivial habits seem to be making me even more intimidated, so I've decided to start taking real steps toward acne scar management. Should I consistently apply over-the-counter ointments, or would it be much faster to go to the hospital and get a laser treatment? I'd love to hear from you about your experiences and advice on how you've successfully addressed these skin concerns.
