Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I understood you are affected by dark spots due to acne.
But it is difficult to expect the cure with in a few days.
As you had laser treatment recently, Please wait up to 10 days after laser therapy.
It may take up to 10 days to heel and your skin may look better than before.
It work by initiating body's natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin- the crucial building blocks of normal-looking skin.
You need further seven to 10 sittings for complete effectiveness of laser treatment in acne.
Thus please continue the treatment and wait for effectiveness.
Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
For post acne pigmentation, you could try 35-50% glycolic acid based peels. However, you must remember that you need at least 4-6 sessions at 2 weekly intervals to notice good results. There is no quick fix solution to get rid of the dark spots.
You could try camouflage with concealers.
You seem to have tried different modalities but no modality will give you great results with just a single session.
You could use a sunscreen by daytime and reapply every 4 hours as any pigmentation on the skin can worsen with sun exposure.
Use a cream containing 2-4% kojic acid at bedtime on the spots to hasten their lightening for 6-8 weeks.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
