The most important thing is for you and your skin to be healthy. It can be a long journey but if someone is pointing it out or commenting, that's usually a sign of their own insecurities and vanity.
What helped me is finding a way to laugh at myself because that throws people off (especially if their comments were intentionally hurtful). You laugh it of and move on.
I have a big scar on my forehead that I used to hide and be embarrassed about. It got annoying that I felt that way about something I couldn't change so I embraced it. Now if anyone points it out, I tell them a funny story how I got it. It doesn't bother me anymore and comments don't affect how I feel about it.
Love your skin and be kind to it π

I think it's particularly hard these days with all the flawless images being pushed by social media. And it's all fake - filters, lighting, editing, makeup etc. We all have flaws and that's perfectly fine. I have grown to value what's important and when you surround yourself with people who love you as you are, 'skin perfection' fades in the background.
We always tend to compare ourselves to others, but trust me, someone looks at you and thinks 'I wish I had hair/legs/eyes/smile like her/him'. We all have insecurities!
