Hello,
Welcome to health care magic.
For your active pimples, you could use a gel containing clindamycin or azithromycin in the morning and continue to use benzoyl peroxide gel at night.
For the marks, you could try lightening creams containing Kojic acid, Arbutin, mulberry extracts. Glycolic peels also help.
Drink plenty of water and fresh juices. Avoid fried foods. Do not use thick creams or creamy face washes. Use a gel based moisturiser and face washes.
Hope this helped.
Take care.
