Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
For acne, you could use a gel containing clibdamycin in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at bedtime. You could also benefit from oral doxycycline or azithromycin given under the guidance of a dermatologist.
For pigmentation , you could use a cream containing 2% kojic acid and vitamin C at bedtime.
Use a gel based broad spectrum sunscreen regularly.
You could use a face wash containing 2% salicylic acid instead of using it as a gel, which could cause peeling.
You could do glycolic acid peels and microdermabrasion under a qualified dermatologist for getting a glow.
Have a good diet and drink plenty of water.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
