Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For pimples and pigmentation, apply Azelaic acid gel/cream. Use Glycolic acid face wash.
In case of extensive pimples over face, do consult your Dermatologist as treatment options differ according to the severity of acne.
For Dark circles and bags, use Radant Under Eye cream once daily at night.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
